Karl Rove, aka, ‘The Architect’, ‘Bush’s Brains’ and ‘Turdblossom’ has quit.
The world breathes a little easier.
Cheney’s thoughts in 1994
What a dickhead. Just listen to this 1994 interview — and weep!
Weep for thousands of American soldiers killed in a futile battle, weep for hundreds of thousand of Iraqis killed for naught.
Weapons of Ass Destruction
An update on George W Bush’s recent colon check via Scott Adams Dilbert blog:
President Bush recently had some polyps removed from his colon. Sometimes polyps can turn cancerous, but I doubt his are. After all, President Bush hasn’t had much luck finding weapons of ass destruction.
I’m posting this now before someone else thinks of it. I might already be too late.
And allow me to be the first to wonder aloud how the surgeons could see past Condi’s head to see those polyps.
This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime humor situations. You can play along at home. Leave a comment with your own best joke about the president’s semi-colon.
The comments, 201 at last count, quickly put things in perspective …
How low can he go?
A total of 71% of Americans say they disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president according to the latest survey from the American Research Group.
Among all Americans, 25% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 71% disapprove.
When it comes to Bush’s handling of the economy, 23% approve and 73% disapprove.
This is the highest level of disapproval and lowest level of approval for the Bush presidency recorded in monthly surveys by the American Research Group.

Who’s who
US forced to import bullets from Israel
US forces have fired so many bullets in Iraq and Afghanistan — an estimated 250,000 for every insurgent killed — that American ammunition-makers cannot keep up with demand. As a result the US is having to import supplies from Israel.
A government report says that US forces are now using 1.8 billion rounds of small-arms ammunition a year. The total has more than doubled in five years.

George W. Bush is’ One Tough Hombre’
Paul Begala, writing in The Huffington Post captures the ‘soul’ [if he has one] of George W Bush. As he says, Bush is …
Tough enough to execute Karla Fay Tucker — and then laugh about it.
Tough enough to sign a death warrant for a man whose lawyer slept through the trial — and then snicker when asked about it in a debate.
Even tough enough to execute a great-grandmother who murdered her husband — after he abused her. A friend of mine at the time asked Bush to commute her sentence, telling him, “Betty Lou ain’t a threat to no one she ain’t married to.” No dice.
Mr Bush is tough enough to invade a country that was no risk to America, causing tens of thousands of civilian deaths and shedding precious American blood in the process.
Tough enough to sanction torture. Tough enough to order an American citizen arrested and held without trial.
But if you’re rich and right-wing and Republican, George is a real softie. As George W. Bush demonstrated in giving Scooter Libby a Get Out of Jail Free Card, he is only compassionate to conservatives.
Whoops by Jane Smiley
Sometimes you have to wonder about what makes the world go round? Take this scary piece by Jane Smiley at the Huffington Post:
In light of the Walter Reed scandal and the other evidence that American soldiers serving in Iraq are getting less that adequate (let’s call it “indifferent” care), it’s revealing to return to September 10, 2001, and a speech given by Donald Rumsfeld to Pentagon outsourcers at the Pentagon.
