3. In some respects I'll miss bush* after he's gone in November
I'll have to get a satellite to watch Comedy Central for my laughs instead of presidential press conferences and speeches.

I guess he got the information about Fathi Jahmi from the same people he got info from about Saddam's WMD's.

What a sad joke this administration is.

7. Afghani women
<snip>
