2. arrrggghhh .... the embarassment tour n/t

[Ganja Ninja]

9. Every tour is the embarrassment tour.

In a lot of rich families he's the relative they send off to live in Tahiti rather then face the embarrassment.

[bdamomma]

3. he is such an imbecile.

what an embarrassment he is, he just does not get it. The world is not going to bow down for him.

6. George Bush has become a buffoon.

The bravado has given way to disappointment. Although he takes no responsibility and offers no apologies, his tone, his bearing and his language communicate loss, defeat and helplessness.

What a loser. What a shame that he doesn't just own up to the American people. He was never fit for the job. The philosophy he espouses is bankrupt. Conservatism is dead. Dead as a doornail. It's time to just put it in a coffin and lay it to rest under the sod of history.

[dkofos]

7. Do his speech writers get paid to write this stupid shit.

Not only is Brazil the leader in ethanol production, they forced Ford to produce dual fuel vehicles.

[malaise]

10. If Bush handlers really had a clue

how he is viewed on this planet, he would not travel overseas. He's a total and complete buffoon.

[Mr. Ected]

19. They Just Wanted Him Out of the Country NOW

Walter Reed, Scooter Libby, Iraqnaphobia.

Give Cheney and Rove a little breathing room in Washington to determine Chimpy's next move.

[bdamomma]

20. the world just despises him

let him go to Europe soon, they will give a welcome he will never forget. But it seems he is so arrogant to the fact, he probably loves being a ignorant/arrogant man.

11. Still miffed over the loss of Uncle George Walker's West Indies Sugar assets in Cuba?

The Bush family never forgets.

[SpiralHawk]

12. Yes, we have no banannas today, too

More wisdom from the Connecticut preppy deserter-in-chief.

[SoCalDem]

13. I halfway expect him to start singing "Yellowbird"

No wonder he's always drenched in flop-sweat :)

[NewJeffCT]

14. I hoped they reminded him that Brazil indeed has black people this time

didn't he ask that several years back?

[rman]

15. To replace all fossil fuel with bio fuel we'd need to sacrifice a lot of food crops

with bio fuel crops, which would mean we'd have a lot less food.

Oh, and it's rather costly energy-wise to make bio fuel out of corn.

Yes, we need alternatives - but possibly more important besides alternatives is efficiency in the use of fuel: not just more efficient engines but also far more local production so that less fuel needs to be spend on transportation of goods.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

16. what an incredible ass . . . n/t

[AnnInLa]

17. The cane farmers here in South Louisiana

will be so pleased to hear that. They will get screwed yet again. (and still vote republic.)

[Beelzebud]

18. We seem to have a fucking brain-cell deficit too Governor Bush.

[troubleinwinter]

21. Found a FASCINATING site.

United Nation Agriculture Statistics: MAJOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES AND PRODUCERS

Pick a commodity!

http://www.fao.org/es/ess/top/commodity.html?lang=en

Seems the U.S. is #1 in almonds, blueberries, pig, cow & chicken meats, cow milk, maize (corn) and cranberries. That's about it.

I had no idea Nigeria was #1 in citrus fruit! Brazil is top in many crops, including some important crops like dried beans.

Overall, looks like China wins.

Guess who is tops in potatoes.

Looks like we lag badly behind in production of ass meat.

[Bill McBlueState]

22. He also referred to his country as "America"

I'm no head of state, but I do know that people in the rest of the hemisphere tend to bristle a bit when the US claims the name "America" for its own. He sounds like a real simpleton when he says that.

[Roland99]

23. I've read that soy-based ethanol is more efficient (and wouldn't drive up corn costs)

24. Japan to receive bulk of Brazil's ethanol exports

Whoooooops!!!!!

http://www.ogj.com/articles/article_display.cfm?article_id=286332

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 6 -- The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to provide Brazil's state-run Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) with $8 billion to help it export ethanol to Japan.

As a result of the aid, annual shipments to Japan by Petrobras are expected to rocket to 3 billion l., with the Asian country taking nearly 90% of Brazil's available exports. In 2006, Brazil exported 3.4 billion l. of ethanol, of which less than 7%, or 225.4 million l., went to Japan.

The JBIC assistance will help Petrobras expand output and sales to Japan, with financing to cover ethanol plants, storage tanks, pipelines, and ports, according to a Mar. 4 report in Brazil's largest newspaper, Folha de S. Paulo, which quoted Petrobras executive Paulo Roberto Costa. Projects to be evaluated include the production and sale of ethanol and biodiesel, electric power plants using sugar cane bagasse as raw material, and carbon credit opportunities.

On Feb. 26, it was announced that Japan's Marubeni Corp. and Dutch grain trader Agrenco Group in 2008 plan jointly to start producing biodiesel from Brazilian soybean oil (OGJ Online, Feb. 26, 2007).

(how come the U.S. public wasn't told about this? hmmm, bury the news, bury the news, bury the news...)
