When people wonder why I suggest the possibility that the whole Iraq war obsession of Bush’s is about showing that he’s a “bigger” man than his father, now I can show them this…
I love the British pres…
Read this. Now.
And then bear in mind that if you closed an editorial the way he does, you’d get a visit from the nice men from the Secret Service… and they say we we have freedom of the press in America?

Arguments in favor of Oregon’s anti-gay marriage iniative 36 include such wonderful tidbits as:

My biggest qualms with what Bush said…
…he complained about relying on the British for the flu vaccine when Chiron is an American company, and in fact located locally here in the Bay Area.
