"If he's—the inference is that somehow he thinks slavery is a—is a noble institution. I would—I would strongly reject that assumption, that John Ashcroft is a open-minded, inclusive person."

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.

Bushism - Inaugural

Bushism - Certain and Uncertain
"This is a world that is much more uncertain than the past. In the past we were certain—we were certain it was us versus the Russians in the past. We were certain, and therefore we had huge nuclear arsenals aimed at each other to keep the peace. That's what we were certain of... You see, even though it's an uncertain world, we're certain of some things. We're certain that even though the 'evil empire' may have passed, evil still remains. We're certain there are people that can't stand what America stands for... We're certain there are madmen in this world, and there's terror, and there's missiles and I'm certain of this, too: I'm certain, to maintain the peace, we better have a military of high morale, and I'm certain that under this administration, morale in the military is dangerously low."

More On The Economy
I've written quite a bit lately about my fears for the economy. This video is from a Dutch television station. See what you think...
Ooooooh - we've made him mad now...
It didn't work this way for me during the Clinton years, but maybe for you?

I'm not sure of the point of this - but it IS thought provoking...
Obama worries me a bit - but he is charismatic...
Bush visits his friends - and if there were justice in this world, he and a whole lot more would be incarcerated as well...
