> Or are we going to get a moral story about how humans and machines should coexist.

That's it. Bush was right: "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."

Fool me once, or twice, or, ehmm... Matrix? Fish?

Corporations wildly mis-underestimated how the internet would take off.

Who are you? Dubya?.

Well, there's always the test

I don't know about that.

It was none other than George W. Bush who famously said:

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

Perhaps that might translate into a vote for McCain?

Actually, from the listening to the man himself and dubyaspeak I would not find it hard to believe "Bush Disappointed To Learn Chinese Foreign Minister Doesn't Know Karate".

Perhaps it is that the people potentially being taken in by these sort of comments and headlines doesn't say so much about the person, but about Bush himself.

It wasn't a joke - he really said that - he tried to pass it off as a joke a couple of days later. He really is a dimwit.He's used this non-existent word more than once.

I think Bush said it best, or tried to: "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me"
The feckless twit couldn't even get that right! Here's the proof!

Certainly not. However, W is concerened with rumors

Goes like this

No, that's a wrong translation and shows undue sympathy to the USSR.

The translation is generally contested. From what I've read, Khruschev meant "We will attend your funeral" but said "We will bury you." But Khruschev wasn't the only politician with a tendency to misspeak.

They are not just painting political graffiti with light. They are against Bush.

It's unprecedented: There are 44 well-funded groups against Bush. There are more than 3 movies and more than 35 books about Bush Administration corruption.

Magazines like The Nation are against Bush: 100 Facts and 1 Opinion -- The Non-Arguable Case Against the Bush Administration

There are hundreds of web sites like Dubya Speak, that talk about some negative aspect of Bush's personality. Dubya Speak quotes Bush: "It's only fair if other countries treat us the way they treat them." If he meant, "It's only fair if other countries treat us the way we treat them", that is something important about which George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden agree.

Foreign leaders and politicians call Bush a "moron" and an "idiot".

George W. Bush is certainly the most disliked U.S. president in history.

If I remember correctly, there were, in the early years, four major books published about Clinton. They said Cliton was having sex with slutty women. They tried to find something wrong with his small losing investment called Whitewater. They said he may have, at some time during his being governor of Arkansas, associated with people who later turned out to be involved in questionable activities. Someone in his adminstration committed suicide. The books were interesting, but a little lame.

The books about Bush are different. The books about Bush are about major governmental corruption.

I hear there's rumors on the Slashdots

Hey, that was a good post. Thanks for taking the time out.

Yes I criticize a lot - I know. But the 'head of the class' should be the head because he is the wisest, not because he is the biggest. The bully mentality alienates your friends and enrage your enemies. This is already happening big time.

I haven't heard about the election-fraud accusations in Germany, but we've had them in my country (Denmark). There is no doubt nor dispute about who got the votes in neither Germany nor my country though and you cannot imagine a society that has no corrupted individuals. You are right, Italy seems a farce under Berlosconi, and I really do NOT wanna turn this into a 'XX is better than YY' type thing, EU is far from any paradise, and we've certainly got our shit to work out.

However since you do the comparison, neither Germany nor Italy engages in preemptive warfare (thnx in big part to the US), but the US does. At least that is the impression you are left with if you first read PNAC and then consider who the prominent PNAC members are (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz...).

Oh, I don't believe for one second that these guys are stupid. Bonkers they may be - but stupid they're not. They know very well what they're doing. I am not sure they quite realise what their actions might entail (nor do I for that matter), but I am also not sure that they care too much.

No - what I meant when I said bonkers was you guys - the ones who lives in US, the real US. The ones whose votes will determine life and death matters all over the world. The ones whose votes will shape the international climate, the ones who won't vote because they 'it does not matter, nothing can be done anyways, I am not willing to waste my time trying'. That really seems odd.

US is so big, and you're probably right, we don't have diversity in the face the way you do. I am posting this from rather comfortable little DK (best place in the world, then our right wing took over), I am not in Romania or Albania or on the Balkans, I am not even in Italy. It's easy for me to sit here and be high-strung. That however, does not alter the fact that you guys really need to DO something. I just hope that this one time your apathy will be left at home when you go voting and that your election will end with the only reasonable outcome.

US is NOT the moral leader of the world, it's just the biggest military force in existence. A lot of US folks may not realise that, but that's how everybody else sees it. You can change that...

Here's a video for you

I am sorry if I come off staunch, I am just soo fucking amazed by the beast that is the US. The whole Swift-boat-liars-for-whatever affair, FOX news, Bush in general, Fahrenheit 9/11 etc...

Thnx for your post, it was a good read and I'd mod u up if I could.

Here's a link for a load of Bush quotes - it's hilarious !

Now now, stop misunderestimating him. You are lucky he is not a revengeful person.

Maybe Mr. Bush should also. But then anyone who thinks that the U.S. and Japan have had peaceful relations for the past 150 years must be a history expert already.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me

Or as good ol' GWB puts it:

There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once -- shame on -- shame on you. You fool me, you can't get fooled again.

Well, I actually think our two party system is the biggest load of crap ever. In business two competitors is still effectively a monopoly (just look at island hopping flights in Hawaii), so why don't people understand that the same's true in politics. Just ignore the party labels and see what the candidates say, or better yet, what they do. Or is that too hard?

As for links, the convienant side effect of cnn altering stories is that the old stories I'm thinking of are, well, altered. A newer story does dig some recent ones up, which I guess just proves that the media is getting a little fed up with him. And a quick google search pulls up tons of older ones. Here's a sampling:

Liberty is not America's gift to the world, it is God's gift to each and every person. And that's what I believe. I believe that when we see totalitarianism, that we must deal with it.

Events aren't moved by blind change and chance [but by] the hand of a just and faithful God

It's also important for people to know we never seek to impose our culture or our form of government. We just want to live under those universal values, God-given values.

I find the third one particularly ironic. You might not consider them shocking, but I personally don't like my Presidents acting like ministers. They call it a podium instead of a pulpit for a reason. If there's one thing reading the Crucible in high school was supposed to teach us it's that religion and government don't mix (along with giving a healthy critique of McCarthyism). But since you seemed quite ready to jump all over me I bet it'd be easier for you to not think about it and just go ahead and attack me.

Personally, I remember numerous incidents before my second birthday. As I am told that I acquired language at an extremely early age, I guess - in my case at least - the model holds true. However, what happens to those unfortunate persons who never fully acquire language ?

Bush realizes that it has nothing to do with human activity. Bush has a problem here of wanting to stick to the truth while ignorant people who are even dumber than him insist on greenhouse fairytales.

Pretty impressive realization, for a guy who can't speak in complete sentences. Maybe the brain cells in his head that normally help with grammar and keep singular/plural and past/present/future tense consistent are busy performing climate simulations instead.
