Report of mysterious break-in on presidential library site
By BYRON HARRIS / WFAA-TV

Eviction, mystery and accusations are the latest events in the advance of the proposed Bush presidential library at SMU.

Today federal agents marched in this morning with eviction notices in hand. The last two residents of the University Gardens condominiums got orders to leave this morning. But not before a mysterious break-in last night.

Three days ago Gary Getton showed us some of his legal papers in his ongoing fight with SMU over eviction from the condo he rents. Last night, he says his property was burglarized. All that was stolen, he says, were his documents. He's suspicious.

"We own a percentage of the condos and that's why we're staying and fighting pretty much," he said.

Today, Getton got a notice to evict the premises.

Ahh the more things change, the more they stay the same. Remember this oldie?

Crucial to the success of <Bush's> venture <an owner of the Texas Rangers> was construction of a new ball park for <The Rangers> in Arlington. After a massive public relations effort in support of a taxpayer role in financing the new stadium (hardly an anti-statist position!), and threats that the franchise might move unless a new facility was built, voters approved a one-half cent increase in the sales tax to generate $135 million for the purchase of land and construction of the stadium. The team was to put up another $65 million.

But where to locate? The family that owned 13 acres of the land preferred by Bush and his associates did not want to sell. After they were given a lowball offer, which they rejected, a new government agency (the Arlington Sports Facility Development Authority) was established to condemn the property. The family was given a pittance of what the property was worth. They subsequently sued the city, and a jury awarded them $7.5 million — some six times what they had originally received.

1. George Bush is a disgraceful excuse for a human being.

He cares about no one but himself, his family, and his family's business interests.

If you tried, you couldn't find anyone less qualified to be pResident.

1. Every business venture Bush attempted was a failure.
2. He's an alcoholic.
3. He's a drug abuser.
4. He's a drunk driver.
5. He married a murderer.
6. He's a liar.
7. He's dilusional.
8. He's bankrupted our treasury.
9. He's put personal interests ahead of America's interests.
10. His administration is full of cronies, all incapable and unqualified for their jobs.
11. He is not doing the will of the people. In fact, he's doing exactly what we DON'T WANT.
12. He is responsible for the outing and coverup of a CIA agent.
13. He has allowed oil company CEOs to write our energy policy, which created higher gas prices than ever before, and higher oil company profits than ever before.
14. He is an embarrassment - he lacks the social graces, intellect, vocabulary, and appearance to be the most important person in the world.

I could just go on and on, but DU doesn't have enough bandwidth to cover it all!

To say I'm frustrated with the current state of affairs is an understatement.

4. Complete SOCIOPATH with vindictive and sadistic tendencies.

Clinton had some aspect of sociopathy, but in Bush it is complete and if not fed and constrained by his family wealth, I have NO DOUBT that Bush was a major risk for becoming a serial killer or the like. He is completely devoid of any conscience and uses his faux Xtianity as a social buffer.
