A whole article on Bush's attacks on the media, focused on the new GI Bill. It doesn't mention repeated explanations by PROPONENTS (including McCain himself) that it would keep soldiers in longer by giving people who only served a couple of years much less.
The Washington Times has a pretty new layout, but the same coverage.
You can probably reach me (David Weisman) at davidwei at optonline dot net, but my spam filter is set at ultrahigh because of youthful indescretions with pay per click rewards programs. I live in New York state near the coast, and my wife and I share a co-op. I'm usually somewhat left of center, but I try to think things through and not parrot anybody's party line. Besides politics I spend a fair amount of time playing computer games, and am interested in science and the Global Brain as well.

'Eat Your Words, Mr. Bush!'
"These comments are brazen admissions by the industrialized West that their levels of prosperity are dependent on poverty and malnutrition in the developing world."

President Bush: Inciting much of the world's population against himself ...
WHITE HOUSE VIDEO: In Missiouri, President Bush discusses energy, food; India comments at 00:40:00, May 2, 01:02:57
George W. Bush’s proclivity to tread on the absurd is amazing. Recently, he sought to blame the Indian people for the global food crisis by saying, “[India’s] middle-class is bigger than our entire population ... When you start getting wealth, you demand better food ... and prices ... go up.”
Not false, but considering our comparative standards of living and counterproductive ethanol incentives, shows a lot of gall.

They Told Him
Usually Instapundit uses this formula ironically, only to point to draconian measures taken by Democrats. Oddly enough, he refers now to the enforcement of a McCarthy era anti-communist oath. Maybe he figures liberals are to blame because its in California.
THEY TOLD ME THAT IF GEORGE W. BUSH WERE RE-ELECTED, we'd see college professors fired for refusing to swear loyalty to the state. And they were right!
