If you’re sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign. – US President George W. Bush


Well, I really think he shatters the myth of white supremacy once and for all. – US Congressman Charlie Rangel when asked what he thought of President Bush

The (grand) kids are worried that there won’t be any flowers this Spring. Global warming, that is what it is."

Cherry blossoms in January! Thomas Friedman also wrote last week of daffodils blooming in his front yard. "They now form a nice bright yellow cluster at the bottom of our driveway. Temperatures of 65 degrees in Washington in January will do that."

Bush lumped Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as "axis of evil". As later events unfolded, Dubya Bush is an accurate pulse taker. Iraq's Saddam Hussein got Dubya's top priority due to CIA intel-fed blunder on weapons of mass destruction nowhere found later.

Bush finally saw the light and declared America an unfortunate oil addict. He must have read a report in Fortune magazine about discussions in Davos on the subject which opened with this lead sentence: Be afraid. Be very afraid. And Dubya took the message to heart when he delivered his State of the Union address last week.

Bush ride out the storms? - II [Summary] => More than the domestic rocky weather buffeting Pres. Bush, the mother of all storms spawned by the Iraq invasion and occupation out-storms the "Desert Storm" of elder Bush.

With the heavy toll of American lives and logistics now hounding the coalition forces almost daily, the post-Desert Storm criticisms against the elder Bush for not occupying Iraq then, gave way to plaudit for the stroke of brilliance of the father.

[Summary] => I was glued to CNN and BBC for most of my free time last week. Even the mess in our own House of Representatives being covered live by ANC became irrelevant in the context of this human drama of massive proportions in New Orleans.

Through it all, I was very disturbed by the thought that the nation calling itself the only superpower in the world, one that’s able to invade and take over Iraq in a matter of days, is unable to take care of its own people from the impact of a natural disaster.

Bush mention the Philippines.

In his speeches since we abandoned the US-led "coalition" in Iraq to save Angelo de la Cruz from the terrorist headsman’s axe, Dubya had pointedly ignored our country and his ex-phone pal, La Gloria.

(NAPOCOR) to raise its power rates, provisionally, by an average of P0.98 per kilowatt-hour is far from enough to enable NAPOCOR and the government to stem the multibillion losses incurred monthly by "subsidizing" power rates so extravagantly.

The new power rates are supposed to be effective next September 26, ERC Chairman (and former Congressman) Rudy Albano has announced.

Very interesting. Nope. It wasn’t about Erap’s cronies, nor about the late Ferdinand E. Marcos’s cronies. Nor even about our current La Presidenta’s cronies.

The Bryce book (Public Affairs, New York, 2004) was about Dubya’s "Cronies" and its subtitle gives the gambit away: "Oil, The Bushes, and the Rise of Texas, America’s Superstate."
