"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we,"

George Bush slip-up, Aug 5 2004

Bush is hilarious. I'm almost starting to hope he wins again, just for the comedy value of having him in the White House.

call me Mr. Gullible. I told everyone at work that Maggie Thatcher had died yesterday, after a friend e-mailed me this story from the Guardian :

Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister, died today aged 79. 'Maggie' has apparently been in failing health for some time now.According to insiders, Thatcher has been waking up at 2 AM, getting dressed and summoning her bodyguards to escort her to her next meeting. Thatcher would also ask where her dead husband is. The onset of her condition coincided with the death of her husband last June. Connie Lingus reports from Whitehall that Experts in geriatric illness were called in to examine Thatcher, but she died peacefully before tests were completed. Ex Miner, Warrick Hunt, 57 from Mansfield Woodhouse was with her as she slipped away. “I was just wishing her well,” he said “I hated her for so many years and I decided it was time to let go of my anger and hatred.” Mr. Hunt is also the son of a greengrocer, just like the late Lady Thatcher. “We’ve got a lot in common, she knew her onions.” He added.
