A few new facts in the "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention" category:... A recent audit of the Iraqi "oil-revenue" money found that a mere 13% is being spent in Iraq on "reconstruction"!! No mention of WHERE THE OTHER 87% IS GOING!! The U.S. Congress, under TOTAL Republican control has passed LESS legislation than any Congress in U.S. history. PLUS, at least 25 % of the bills-passed were "name-change" bills.... those IMPORTANT bills that change the name of some already-named Federal building, park, or ship. NO attention to Health-care, NO serious scrutiny of the 600 BILLION DOLLAR FEDERAL DEFICIT, NO immigration-reform, NO scrutiny of "War-profiteering", etc. Incoming "Speaker-of-the-House" Nancy Pelosi has stated that she will NOT support any attempts to impeach George Bush; obviously because impeachment would then make Dick Cheney President!! Question: is it possible to impeach the Vice-President? Without Dick Cheney, George Bush COULDN'T TIE-HIS-OWN-SHOES!!If Cheney were "removed-from-the-picture", Bush would "self-destruct" MORE than he already is!! Recent photos of Bush have been seen during his meetings with foreign leaders... Instead of an articulate, insightful "Leader", he looks much like a grade-school kid waiting to be reprimanded by the principal.. a sort of bored and annoyed, impatient look; like he's waiting for class to be dismissed. The DIXIE CHICKS were, unfortunately, wrong when they stated that Bush is an "embarrassment to Texas". Hell, he's an "embarrassment" to our government, our country, and much of the human-race!! He has stated that he won't respond to the "Iraq Study Report" until after the first of the year, 2007. He undoubtedly needs that much time to have his "puppet-masters" prepare his response..... either that, or maybe it's going to take him that long to READ it!! (After all, it is 73 pages!!)
