I received this photo from my uncle who says, “This came from one of my most conservative, Republican friends. I guy I’ve known for fifty years from Olympia and who has been rabid in his support of Bush until recently.”
So it’s true. Many of the hardcore Bush supporters now agree that Bush sucks. [...]
Born 98 years ago today.
Died in April 1965.
Resurrected last year in Good Night and Good Luck, a great movie.

Harper’s Magazine points out that Bush signed a presidential proclamation in 2004 that bars corrupt foreign officials from entering the United States.

First thing you’ll [...]

Hey Condi! Who’s that guy you’re shaking hands with? That wouldn’t be Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, president of Equatorial Guinea would it?
According to the U.S. Department of State website (isn’t that where you work?) President Obiang rules a country with a list of eighteen human rights violations including:
Arbitrary arrest, detention, and incommunicado detention
