Politics | Bush is stepping back into public life | Seattle Times Newspaper
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2009021903_bushlife11.html The forgettable yet unforgotten President Bush (remember him?) has resurfaced to announce his memoir plans. At the library, instead of a traditional chronological format, he plans to present his presidency through 20 consequential decisions he made… And instead of a full biography, his book will focus on a dozen key moments in his life, […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081219/ap_on_bi_ge/meltdown_autos_169 The Bush administration is looking at “orderly” bankruptcy as a possible way to deal with the desperately ailing U.S. auto industry, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Thursday as carmakers readied more plant closings and a half million new jobless claims underscored the deteriorating national economy. Has this headline reminded anyone else of Robert Klein’s […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080130/ap_on_re_ca/canada_medical_test_shortage_1 The Canadian “Tory” government is behaving in a short-sighted, rather Republican manner with regards to a nuclear situation from December. A nuclear watchdog agency realised the plant safety feature had been disabled, and ordered a shut down. The government went all Han Solo, PR-wise, and legislated it back to operation, citing a dearth of […]

Another Grim Week in Iraq – New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/10/opinion/10sat1.html Fox News fans, take note. There are a lot of big words in this editorial, but bear with me – this is what we call “shades of gray”. It means that we can disagree with the Bush administrations policies, without taking the side of the terrorists. The “decider” President hasn’t proven himself capable of […]

More Sabers to Rattle, Perhaps Fewer to Thrust – New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/25/weekinreview/25shanker.html Another important yet incredibly depressing article the effect one bad decision – invading Iraq – has had as it ripples through the strength (real and perceived) of the American military engine, the US position in global politics, and the decreasing ability to safeguard homeland security.

Record $622 Billion Budget Requested for the Pentagon – New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/03/washington/03spend.html The Bush administration is seeking a record military budget of $622 billion for the 2008 fiscal year, Pentagon officials have said. The sum includes more than $140 billion for war-related costs. Stomach-turning numbers from the Pentagon. I’m getting heartily sick of seeing numbers in the billions being thrown away on wars and more military […]
