He noticed! He finally noticed! After only six and half years in office Bush finally noticed there is a discrepancy between the salaries of CEO's and those who have worked for minimum wages for the past ten years. Wow! Do you suppose he figured this out on his own, or did someone tell him that now that Democrats controlled Congress he might want to pretend to care about this utterly disgusting, disgraceful, and perfectly obvious problem? In any case, just watch as he leaps into action and does absolutely nothing about it (unless, of course, he can figure out how to get more tax breaks for business).
My advice to those running for President: watch your tongue. Try not to say anything. If you talk your words will be used for the next 24 to 78 hours of "news." Joe Biden announced he was running for President and in the next breath tried to compliment Obama. This resulted in hours upon hours of discussion as to what he meant (even though it was perfectly obvious what he meant). The same thing was true of Hillary who was foolish enough to try to make a joke. Man, you just don't joke around the Press. Hillary, who suggested that her background made her understand how to deal with "bad and evil men," unleashed a barrage of "news" coverage that still threatens to never end. This was a kind of "in" joke for women. But there were those to insisted she was talking about her husband (remember him). This was even sillier than the Biden situation. While she might think that Bill was "bad" in the sense of naughty, she clearly does not think he was evil (whereas she might well reasonably think that some Republican men like Newt Gingrich, Starr, Barr, and others really were/are evil). And of course there was the case of Kerry who also tried to make a joke that failed (even though, again, it was perfectly obvious what he was trying to say). I don't know how one would run for President without talking at all, but whoever can figure it out will be a winner. I suppose our MSM can even make sign language into something it is not. In some cases you don't have to talk or not talk to be dismissed by the MSM. They have already, for example, described Kusinich as a Leprechaun, sure to boost his chances for the Presidency. You know what? We'd be a lot better off without the MSM. Happily there seem to be signs they will soon cease to be so important. CNN signed their death warrant when they signed Beck (who has now been signed by NBC), MSNBC made a similar mistake when they signed Tucker Carlson, and now some of the other ultra-right standbys are running out of audience. You want real news - go to the web or other countries, that's where it's at.
Following the Libby trial it is clear that everyday Cheney slips farther and farther down into the pit of slime he has created. Can anyone doubt that the treasonous outing of Valerie Plame started in his office? Do you think he may be one of those "bad and evil men" Hillary had in mind? In his case there is little doubt that he is both bad and evil (and I don't mean naughty and mischaracterized). "There is a cancer on the Presidency," and its name is Dick Cheney. Of course he is the VP and we are not. Spiro Agnew was a paragon of virtue compared to this evil and slimy bastard.
