In a speech at the state Republican convention in Greensboro today, the gubernatorial nominee received one of the loudest ovations as he called himself "a change agent" in his race against Democratic nominee Beverly Perdue, Jim Morrill reports.
Change agent. Hmmmm. Let us count the ways.

When I first heard that Vincent Bugliosi was coming out with a new book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, I was skeptical--to be sure, Shrub's actions are impeachable ten times over. Bugliosi argues that since Bush took us into Iraq under false pretense, the deaths of every American soldier in that conflict amount to murder. He also argues that even if he isn't prosecuted at the federal level, any state attorney general or district attorney in any state (including here in North Carolina) can indict him for the murders of any soldier from their jurisdiction. However, one piece of evidence Bugliosi outlined was enough to convince me that Bush's actions were more than just malfeasance in office. They amount to criminal conduct which should be punished after he leaves office.
Update: In response to concerns expressed by others, I wish to stress that any prosecution should take place after Bush leaves office, as a president cannot and should not face criminal prosecution while in office.
Front-paged by James, because in any just world, George W. Bush would be behind bars by now.

Now, I know all you unfeeling, uncaring liberal jerks out there look at President Bush and see a man who knows nothing of sacrifice. But, you're wrong. Our president suffers, he gives up, he cares. Look no further than what W has sacrificed as a way to personally show his solidarity with our men and women in the military. No, it's not a financial contribution. No, not a bill or executive order. No, Barbara and Jenna aren't joining up or even going on a USO tour.
Our Commander-in-Chief has given up golf.

 How little press coverage has Senator Elizabeth Dole received over her six year tenure in the United States Senate? Some North Carolina polling numbers on Dole's voter approval ratings may help answer that question:
Very Favorable - 26%
Somewhat Favorable - 35%
Sixty-one percent of North Carolinians in this poll think that Liddy Dole, who has been a Bush loyalist in the Senate throughout her term, is doing a pretty good job. Contrast that with only 28% of Americans who think the President is doing a good job, and you're left with a fuzzy disconnect that begs the question, "Why do folks look unfavorably upon Bush but look favorably upon a Senator who has been one of his staunchest allies?"

On April 6, 2006 George W. Bush convened a town hall meeting at Central Piedmont Community College in downtown Charlote, North Carolina. He expected a very favorable, controlled setting for his own self-glorification.
If different in any way from fourscore and seven similar gatherings elsewhere in the country, Bush expected the people of the central Carolinas area to be especially welcoming of his talk of necessary sacrifices and defense of freedom.
He expected a Norman Rockwell moment. Boy, did he get one.

"The era of rampant lynching is a shameful chapter in American history. The noose is not a symbol of prairie justice, but of gross injustice. Displaying one is not a harmless prank. Lynching is not a word to be mentioned in jest. As a civil society we must understand that noose displays and lynching jokes are deeply offensive. They are wrong and they have no place in America today."

One more year folks. That's right, just one more year of this miserable failure in the White House. On January 20, 2009 I hope we will be inaugurating a Democrat as President of the United States. I hope.
So many people I speak with are overconfident about our chances of winning the White House that I'm just plain nervous. I'm especially nervous because it looks like the two men rising to the top in the GOP race are the likable, goofy Baptist minister and the aging war hero who was once a social moderate. Both men will appeal to southern conservatives regardless of party.

Bush is visiting King Abdullah.
I'm sure the Israelis are pleased:
Several years ago, Israel received reports of the interrogation of al-Qaeda captives who admitted that their organization had penetrated the Saudi Arabian air force, and that it was planning to take control of several Saudi F-15s based at Tabuk in north Western Saudi Arabia, near Eilat, and fly the fighter planes into sky scrapers in Tel Aviv," Gold said.
Poor bastards. And we're supposed to be their friends.

If you are bored with my reading of The One Percent Doctrine, just wait; I'm almost done.
It really is one hell of a book. After painting a damning picture of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice running an outlaw regime under the nose of maybe the stupidest man ever to have held the office; and after telling an incredible story of how the CIA, and George Tenet's personal dialogues with heads of state, particularly the Saudis, used Western Union to follow financial transactions in real-time and rolled up terrorists all over the Middle East; we come to find out that George W. Bush is also a very mean person.
