  1. Bush is also the coal industry by js7a · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    Some of Bush's closest friends are big players in the synthetic fuels industry, which makes liquid fossil fuels from coal and shale. The correct solution, however, is wind power, which directly mitigates such damages.

    You have to wonder about a politician who doesn't tell voters about his drunk driving conviction, because, he said, he didn't want to set a bad example for his children and then doesn't tell the Secret Service to keep them out of bars underage. Maybe he thought it went without saying. I guess you've got to be very precise when you've got pardoning powers.

    Neither precision nor accuracy are Bush's strong suits.
