6. Matt Damon
was on Larry King a few weeks ago plugging his new cia movie with Bob DiNiro.

he was quick to say Bush did nice things for solving the aids situation in africa somewhere.

WHO KNEW?

Sorry, I don't know exactly what the situation is in Africa, Aids-wise.

But, if GWB actually did something nice, he deserves some props. Even Hitler made the trains run on time, you know.

7. Woken people up.
I've never been so informed or education about the history of this country and its doings in the world.

Still, ignorance -was- bliss and I would prefer not to have to go down the first part of the road to so many extinctions.

14. I'm thinking; I'm thinking.....


Nah. Can't think of anything.

Seriously. I can't think of a single thing this administration's done right, or in the best interests of the country. Nothing.

Surely there must be something, but I honestly can't think of anything.

15. As much as we criticize them for all their vacations and short
working hours, I think inadvertently it's a good thing they have done. If they were workaholics imagine the disasters they would have done multiplied three times.

20. Motivated people who usually don't pay attention to politics
to get involved in the process.

I am a political junkie and have been all my life. I am amazed by the number of people who really care who gets elected now. I have met more people in just the last few years who are working on campaigns, active in political groups (many in leadership capacities) who tell me they didn't pay any attention to politics until 2000, when el pretzeldente was Selected.

21. A few things come to mind...
He's tripled financial aid to Africa, the influx of funding on alternative energy is good, and friends of mine who are teachers are of the opinion that if only one thing the admin's done is good, it's the 'No Child Left Behind' act.

26. Didn't I read that in Africa...
the clinics the money supposed to go to can't say the 'A' word? I thought the funding for alternative energy was a drop in the bucket compared to the tax breaks and subsidies the oil companies get.

Oh, and I don't know a single teacher who thought 'No Child Left Behind' was a good idea. The superintendent of the school district here thinks it's a joke. He told me that himself.

Wait. Just give me a minute. I'll think of something.

He had a colonoscopy! That's something I haven't been brave enough to do!

http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/06/28/bush.tests/index.html



Yeah, the Bush Administration successfully pulled off George W. Bush's colonoscopy!

Okay, Cheney was in charge for a few hours, but what the hell...who knows what they found in there? His fucking head, maybe?
