Bush had less votes. The Supreme Court handed him the election anyway. He was selected by them, not the people of the United States.
By the way, I note you've avoided that whole 3 years of recession, passed every finance measure he wanted (all tax cuts), his party controls both houses and has the first net loss of jobs in 70 years thing. Hasn't the RNC given you the spin sheet on that one yet?
Heck, I didn't even mention budget surplus to largest budget deficit in history!
He didn't have enough votes by the citizens of Florida. An inaccurate vote count was accepted by W's state campaign chief in the state run by W's brother. The SC then decided that W had won and that any recount will cast doubt on their decision that W won.
The fact that I dislike his politics doesn't change the fact that he was selected not elected. Even Rutherford B. Hayes doesn't have an asterisk. He wasn't handed the election by the SC.
Liberation of the Afghan people? Osama in millions of pieces?
Today, we had the US Special Envoy to Afghanistan warn of "spectacular attacks" by the Taliban against US forces. On Sept. 22, we had news about Mullah Omar (you remember how W missed him as well as Osama) having a big meeting with the reformed Taliban in Pakistan. And even the CIA doesn't actually think Osama is dead yet. And liberating the country and handing control of most of it to rival warlords isn't what W said the fight was all about.
As for your "we're recovering from nicely; I know how that must disappoint you" comment on the recession, a jobless recovery with a fundamentals this weak, not to mention the first net loss of jobs in over 70 years, doesn't constitute recovering OR nicely as far as I'm concerned.
It takes an especially bad President * to have every major financial measure he's ever sent passed (all massive tax cuts, of course), control both Congress and the Senate and have an net loss of jobs (the first time in 70 years!).
The asterisk refers to the fact that W was selected by the SC, bypassing the Constitution (and the majority of citizens who didn't vote for him, including the majority in Florida which had the necessary electoral college votes to elect the correct President.
The only problem with that is that it comes with a Doctor Smith and Robot. The two of them go gadding about pestering your teenage son and generally wreaking havoc throughout the galaxies you visit.
I don't wear aluminum foil hats. That would cause Alzheimers.
I personally mine, smelt, forge and press my own tin foil hats. The whole reason I'm living at this "abandoned" tin mine is to get the raw materials I need to be safe. SAFE!
in the set top box so that Disney will be able to watch you watching their content to ensure that you are watching with a respectful level of attention and in a responsible manner, not half watching or touching yourself or the like, is reason enough not to get it as far as I'm concerned.
Now if you'll excuse, I've got to slip into my mid-afternoon tin foil hat (the mid-day one has worn out it's blocking powers by now).
after terminating the license and having SGI continue to sell IRIX (which of course they will keep doing), doesn't that mean that SGI could sue SCO for breach?
If the reasoning behind the license cancellation were valid, then SCO would have to sue SGI for selling IRIX to protect the rights that are in question. Not doing so would seem to indicate that SCO was abandoning their purported rights.
This will be another hit to studios. Part of their efforts have been to restrict the output of artists so as to not flood the market and theoretically devalue music in general. This was a significant factor in Prince's disputes with the various studios he has signed with over the years.
Also, labels have always liked the studios because it facilitated their keeping physical control of the original recordings.
Now, artists don't have to wait for the studio to advance them money to go into the studio (money that of course has to be paid back) and record. They can and do do it any time. And they have physical control over their work which enhances the chances that the music will be released the way the artist intended.
Since neither one of the major Republican candidates has expressed any interest in stopping up the supposed budget deficit with this money and both have said that they will deal with the deficit with budget cuts, I'm asking: Cuts from what? Cuts from where?
That's just silly. Why would Ballmer need to use commercial aviation when he's Dancing Flying MonkeyBoy! As the Wicked Wizard of the Pacific NorthWest sends him aloft, cackling "I'll get those Ruby Hats yet, my pretties!!!! Eyy Hehehehehehehehehe!!!!"
a Federal Crime, that would have placed the SCO executives involved at risk of serious fines and jail time for each instance, and since a group of such mailings would have opened them up to RICO prosecution because it would have constituted a racketeering enterprise, I don't think anybody is all that surprised that those mailings never got sent.

You're welcome.
Don't forget the asterisk.
History won't.
You, like W, must not read the newspapers or watch the news programs.
Reasonable, well thought out, non-extreme methods mean the terrorists have won. Oh, wait. That's a different article.
Anyway, how do you scream at the top of your lungs "MIDDLE GROOOOOUUUND"?
By the way, technically he is the POTUS*.
Don't forget the asterisk. History won't.
Buffy, Faith and Willow? Sunnydale may be a big hole in the ground, but let's not forget it's finest (former) inhabitants.
see what OS they are using. All the good guys in episode 1 and 2 used Macs. All the bad guys (including Nina, it was a giveaway) used PCs.

Aluminum? Amateur.
As a rule, organizations that end in AA are evil. Ones that start with AA usually aren't (e.g. AAA, AARP).

Bush commented "We didn't just have a war for oil to have folks stop using it. Switching to Solar means the terrorists have won."
I guess I'll have to stick to something I can trust: Professional Wrestling.

Where specifically are the cuts to be made?
I live in NYC. I'm just asking where the budget cuts would be coming. Both Arrnold and McClintock say they'll be cutting, but don't say where.
That's just silly. Why would Ballmer need to use commercial aviation when he's Dancing Flying MonkeyBoy! As the Wicked Wizard of the Pacific NorthWest sends him aloft, cackling "I'll get those Ruby Hats yet, my pretties!!!! Eyy Hehehehehehehehehe!!!!"
