Have You Seen the Ads for the 'W' DVD on Fox News?

It is so hilarious because they are so desperate to make money that they are actually marketing this as a pro-Bush, pro-American, patriotic epic. These people hate Republicans, but they don't mind tricking some of us out of our cash.

Minnesota Recount May be Unconstitutional

The 2000 Supreme Court decision may have an effect on the 2008 (going into 2009) Minnesota senate race:

By a vote of 7-2, Bush v. Gore (2000) ruled that Florida's recount violated the principle that all votes must be treated uniformly. Applying precedents dating to the 1960s, the Court found that the Equal Protection Clause meant that ballots must be treated so as to give every vote equal weight. A state may not, by "arbitrary and disparate treatment, value one person's vote over that of another." Florida's lack of standards produced "unequal evaluation of ballots in several respects." The state's supreme court "ratified this uneven treatment" and created more of its own, and was unconstitutional.

31 Percent of Americans View Bush Presidency as Good or Very Good

My take on this is that his first term was very good, his second term was very mediocre (unfortunately, mediocre is not an option in this poll).

How would you rate George W. Bush in comparison to other presidents in U.S. history? Would you say he is the best president the U.S. has ever had, very good, good, poor, very poor, or would you say he is the worst president the U.S. has ever had?

	Dec. 2008	Aug. 2008	Nov. 2007
The best	--	--	1%
Very good	5%	9%	8%
Good	26%	29%	32%
Poor	23%	22%	20%
Very poor	17%	14%	15%
The worst	28%	26%	23%

Bush Lifts Executive Order Banning Offshore Drilling

But the move, by itself, will do nothing unless Congress acts as well to lift its own drilling ban. There are two prohibitions on offshore drilling, one imposed by Congress and another by executive order signed by the first President Bush in 1990.

Rumor: President Bush to Convert to Catholicism

The two men spoke for half an hour in the 12th century Tower of St John, a private area in the Vatican gardens which is used by the pope for private reflection.

The usual protocol for heads-of-state is a meeting in the pope's library in the Apostolic Palace, but a spokesman for the Vatican said Benedict wanted to reward Mr Bush for the "warmth" of his reception at the White House earlier this year.
