I don't know where to start...

...since these all pretty much speak for themselves:

Bush Was Clearly Warned About Katrina

Bush Brokers Landmark Nuclear Deal With India (personally, I think this is a good thing; I don't really hold with the critics' claims that this will encourage Iran to pursue its nuclear program...not that they really need any more encouragement, anyway)

Vehicles banned in Baghdad, 36 killed
(You know you've won the war when they have to ban cars so your diplomats don't get blown up)

In a poll conducted amongst US troops in Iraqi bases, 72% of the soldiers said the US should withdraw in 2006, more than a third of the troops said they should leave immediately. (Anyone else remember Mr. Bush, in his "Plan for the rest of the Iraq war" speech a couple months ago, saying he's going to rely on the military to say when it's time to leave?)

A federal jury in New Jersey convicted six animal rights activists on Thursday using an anti-terrorism law for the first time (5 years ago, everything was a "hate crime." These days, everything is "terrorism." Give me a break.)

And finally, apparently Fox News now has its own school district (This guy puts it much more humorously...and the link at the end of his page is a must-visit)

"Cultured Americans"

In a recent a survey of 1,000 Americans by the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum in Chicago, less than a third were able to name at least two of the freedoms granted in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In comparison, 52% were able to name at least two of the cartoon Simpsons, and 41% could name two of the three "American Idol" judges.

The Freedom Museum opens on April 11 on Michigan Ave. If it plans on displaying any paintings, it may want to keep an eye on a certain 12-year-old boy from Holly, Mich., who last Friday took a piece of chewed Wrigley's Extra Polar Ice from his maw and planted it on a painting on display in the Detroit Institute of Arts. The painting, Helen Frankenthaler's 1963 abstract "The Bay," is worth about $1.5 million. The museum said it expected to completely restore the painting. The boy's permanent record, on the other hand, may not be come out so clean; he has been suspended from his charter school.
