Because maybe voting will lead at least one mindless idiot to get more involved in the democratic process.

Whatever the outcome of the election, George W. is still president until January--maybe enough time for him to become a leader instead of a "follower of American politics."

An expert recently sent a half-jest letter to the editor of a journal suggesting that Bushisms were an indicator of early-onset senility. Probably just too many youthful indiscretions but you never know.

As for the flaring error in this story's title, you heard it here first. Taco's seemingly-trollish typos are in fact an early sign of his early mental demise.

Why? The president of one of the biggest countries publically says stupid things all the time.

...that it wasn't just George Bush on vacation?

I guess this means we now know which computers George W. Bush and Dan Quayle prefer!

Well, yes. Could it REALLY keep us entertained?

"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."

...from George W Bush.

"Rarely is the question asked: is our children learning?"

"Personally, I hope they misunderestimate Linux[...]"

"misunderestimate"? Oh no... George W. starts using it, and now it's common in American parlance. I guess this is the way standard English is turned into American English. The rest of us just keep misunderestimating the benefits of US cultural enrichment.

hee hee. why be anonymous when you can be cheeky?

They aren't unconfirmed. He was arrested for Driving under the Influence, on coke. There is one story about it here although it certainly isn't an impartial source (although they have some great quotes). You can do your own research to find a better one if you really care that much about it :)

iirc his dad was a local state governer at the time and directly held the local police chiefs jobs in his hands, unsuprisingly the follow up action was incredibly light (wouldn't most people get sent to jail for this?) and later the entire story was dropped from the history books.

I can think of a President of the United States who could use a brain flash. Upgrade him out of the alpha release he's currently using.

I wasn't talking about his popularity.

Or someone's in particular?

Yes, of course we have to do something about places that have unstable, posssibly insane, unelected leaders, maintain massive nuclear stockpiles, regularly violate international treaties, actively block biological and chemical weapons monitoring, fund active space programs and have had a desire to have weapons in space for years (as long as no-one else can have them).

Hello USA,
what have you got in your own eye?

1/ california: deregulation sucks
2/ microsoft antitrust trial: where are the sanctions?
3/ erin brockowich and elsewhere
4/ homeless: so used to it, it must be OK.
5/ enron
6/ georges bush jr
7/ dmca

no amount of self blindedness or hypocrisy will make the rest of the world forget all this and all the rest.
