Bush Among The Amish

Lancaster Online.com: Jack Brubaker The Scribbler : Bush quietly meets with Amish here; they offer their prayers: "One of the young girls wanted to give Bush a whoopie pie cookie, Stoltzfus says. "Bush declined it. The Secret Service man took it, as presidents aren't supposed to eat untested food."

At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job."

As the president left the room, one Amish man wished him good luck in November.

"The Amish group headed back to their farms and shops, reports Stoltzfus. Mothers took their children home for a nap and went back to their sewing and gardens."

North Dakota

Lovett Lyle - North Dakota
"I remember in the mornings
Waking up
With your arms around my head
You told me you can sleep forever
And I'll still hold you then"

Reagan vs our soldiers

Fury 3.2: Home: "When a president sixteen years out of office dies we put his casket out for all to honor, first at the Presidential Library and now in the Capiton Rotunda where his body will stay for three days as tens of thousands of people will visit and pay their respects. Thousands of photos will flood the media for days.

On the other side of the world, when a soldier dies in Iraq nobody is permitted to take pictures of the casket under the rationale that it violates the privacy of the grieving family, even if the family explicitly gives their consent."

Remembering Ronnie

Remembering Reagan
He traded arms for hostages and diverted mony to drug-running death squads, but he never lost his Sunny Disposition!

Reagan V Bush

Paul Krugman.

The contrast with President Bush is obvious. President Reagan, confronted with evidence that his tax cuts were fiscally irresponsible, changed course. President Bush, confronted with similar evidence, has pushed for even more tax cuts.

If only George Bush had said this

The Age...
"But the consequences of my strategic miscalculations in this matter have been compounded by additional tactical miscalculations, and the sound work of our troops and the good that I hoped would come of Saddam Hussein's removal have, in the main, gone unfulfilled."

What a President should do

Internet Public Library: POTUS
There's a precedent for what a President should do if they botch a war. They should quit.

Cops of the World

Cops of the World:
"Please stay off of the grass, boys
Please stay off of the grass
Here's a kick in the ass, boys
Here's a kick in the ass
We'll smash down your doors, we don't bother to knock
We've done it before, so why all the shock?
We're the biggest and toughest kids on the block
'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys
We're the Cops of the World"

Phil Ochs, in the early 60s. The less things change, the more they stay the same.
