jianantonicI didn't write what you are about to read. It is from the website of Colin Mortensen, author and TV personality. It can be found at www.colinsworld.com. I don't necessarily think that George W. Bush is single-handedly responsible for all the things listed below, but it's certainly difficult to say he's not involved. I love this, by the way.
Bio of George W. Bush
Sep 30 2003
accomplishments as a human being:

> I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history.
> I've made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history.
> Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. (The poorest multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her).
> I am the first president in US history to have all 50 states of the Union simultaneously struggle against bankruptcy.
> I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud in any market in any country in the history of the world.
> I am the first president in US history to order a US attack and military occupation of a sovereign nation, and I did so against the will of the United Nations and the vast majority of the international community.
> I have created the largest government department bureaucracy in the history of the United States, called the "Bureau of Homeland Security" (only one letter away from BS).

> I am the first president in US history to refuse United Nations election inspectors access during the 2002 US elections.
> I am the all-time US (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations.
> The biggest lifetime contributor to my campaign, who is also one of my best friends, presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation).
> I spent more money on polls and focus groups than any president in US history.
> I am the first president to run and hide when the US came under attack (and then lied, saying the enemy had the code to Air Force 1)
> I am the first US president to establish a secret shadow government.
> I took the world's sympathy for the US after 9/11, and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).
> I am the first US president in history to have a majority of the people of Europe (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and stability.
> I changed US policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.
> I set the all-time record for the number of administration appointees who violated US law by not selling their huge investments in corporations bidding for gov't contracts.
> I have removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than any other president in US history.
> In a little over two years, I have created the most divided country in decades, possibly the most divided that the US has been since the Civil War.
> I entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in less than two years turned every single economic category heading straight down.
> RECORDS AND REFERENCES:

> I was AWOL from the National Guard and deserted the military during time of war.
> I refuse to take a drug test or even answer any questions about drug use.
> All records of my tenure as governor of Texas have been spirited away to my fathers library, sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.
> All records of any SEC investigations into my insider trading or bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.
> All minutes of meetings of any public corporation for which I served on the board are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.
> Any records or minutes from meetings I (or my VP) attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.
> PERSONAL REFERENCES:
« For personal references, please speak to my dad or Uncle James Baker (They can be reached in their offices at the Carlyle Group where they are helping to divide up the spoils of the US-Iraq war and plan for the next one).
Still not convinced that I'm the Devil? I don't know what else I can do to make it clear.
Meg again. I think that every administration has its flaws, most of which are excusable given decent leadership...for instance, I don't give a shit if Bill Clinton got head from some non-wife chick, because I didn't vote for him to be faithful to his wife. Would I vote for him for husband? No. President? You bet your ass. That said, both W's personal and presidential records are disturbing, to say the least. Left out from this list is the sabotaged election of 2000, but whatever I think the list makes a good point. I still don't understand how people can just be Republicans...I'm not saying everyone should be a Democrat (Socialist would be so much better!), but what kind of ignorance does it take to think that being a republican is the way to go? That's a rhetorical question; I really don't want a million replies. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the list. Peace.

A Few Things
Date: 2003-10-10 05:23 am (UTC)Okay, anyway - We have set Sunday night as our date for camping. Can you come?! It would be really cool - I know you'd love my housemates and the extra two Bulgarians who are coming (and Stan would be there!) - Also, your farm is like so cool, and I don't mean to sound like a user but if you were coming camping with us we could have that as our destination point! So anyway, let me know what your work schedule is like or whatever - if you have to work Monday morning or whatever or if you just don't want to or something, it's cool. But it'd be cool. Oooh, umm, actually, I'll tell you we'll probably want to have a beer or two - but nobody getting drunk, just like enjoying it as a beverage - I know you're not always thrilled about that so just to tell you. Umm, anyway.
Oh yeah, I was gonna call you earlier but I didn't know when you go to bed (I was gonna call at like 11) but thought maybe you would have it off. So for future reference - Do you turn your phone off when you go to bed? Like, with me you can always call; I just might not answer. So anyway.
I'm a very articulate person.
Umm, that is it. Ooh, if you can come then maybe my good friend Ben Chambers can too. Everyone loves Ben as well! Umm, whatcha think?
Did you watch the Dems debate? I didn't. I suck. I like NBC better.
Spokojnoj nochi! (surely you see some etymology hidden in that second word!)
Re: A Few Things
Date: 2003-10-10 01:50 pm (UTC)Forgive you for what on Wednesday? I have no clue what you're talking about...but I'm glad that you would do all those nasty things for my forgiveness...?
Anyway, as it stands right now, I'm scheduled to work at 9:30 on Monday morning, but I'm NOT working Sunday. I'm supposed to go canvassing for Lowell Fulk until 4 that day, but I think I'm going to try to get out of that, actually. Shh, don't tell. So I'll ask at work today if it's okay if I come in at like 12 or 2 or something (it totally should be). Even if it's not, I'll come down and hang out with you kids that night or something. So yeah, totally use my farm! There are just a few rules that I must enforce:
No smoking. If someone has to smoke, they can smoke in their car and use their own ash tray, but if I so much as see a cigarette, I'll be really mad. I've developed a really terrible allergy to cigarette smoke lately and also it's bad for the animals and stuff.
Drinking is fine, but preferably no drunken antics...I have lots of family living in and around the farm and we can't be acting like maniacs, y'know? I know you'll be responsible about it, though. I'll probably bring a bottle of Boones for myself;)
If you've gotta go, there's woods.
And basically clean shit up when you leave (I will probably leave before you since I'll have to get ready for work).
Oh last rule is this: you have to go visit Crabtree Falls and go hiking on Monday, cause it's the shit.
:)
You can call me anytime, my phone is almost always off, but when it's on, I'm available to answer it. If it's between 2 and 6 or 9 and 6 on Saturday, it's perfectly okay for you to call me at work, which is 540-434-3899. Everyone gets personal calls there all the time. Most of my coworkers even leave their cells on to take calls at work.
Oh wait, I just remembered about Wednesday...are you talking about the grammar thing? Hehe. Anyway, it's all good.
Ok so yeah, about my farm, I totally want you to come, and I'll ask Ben about it but I'm pretty sure he's got class on Monday. I think a good time to plan on getting there is like 2 or 3, because there's lots of stuff to do before it gets dark that's totally fun:)
Give me a call or I'll call you tonight. I'm so excited about this!
Peace.
