I mean really how many times has bush actually answered questions to reporters in a conference on tv? Two in 4 years?
And isn't it hilarious how 90% of the time, his answer has nothing to do with the question or he just repeats the question as a statement? wtf.
anybody gonna read john dean's new book?

I'm not a Bush supporter but yes, it makes me very alarmed.

The Patriot Act should have never flown through Congress in its current form. Sure some was needed, but the parts about search warrants no longer needed and wire taps being "essential to government security" are 100 percent Orwellian.

Ha, that'd work as well. Orwellian is just one of my current favorite words when describing a secretive government ploy. America is slowly actually becoming what everyone hates - a police state with little or no help for the poor.

The government is now pressing for all broadband internet providers to build in a back door so the fbi/cia have an easy way to moniter and track all internet information for any given user at any given time. This combined with the fact that Bush is also pushing for every American house to have broadband by 2005 kinda bothers me.

Oh yes. I am talking about Orwellianism though. London's biggest bragging right is that it has cameras on every streetcorner.
