This is what drunk will do.

The New York Times chart of Bush’s approval and disapproval ratings, resembles a Christmas tree, appropriately enough considering his religious ties. Despite being Jewish, I adore this “Christmas tree.” It represents the American people’s growing awareness and disillusionment with all the doublespeak and propaganda Bush’s cabinet has been feeding us.

Is that God?

Chilling.

“It’s a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.”

“Excuse, sir, can we see your passport?” the Chinese conductor said in broken English. “Sure, one moment,” I said as I searched my money belt. I patted my waist, looked through my bag and anywhere else it could have been, but to no success….

George W. Bush is not that different from Osama Bin Laden, and that scares me.

Purchasing textbooks from overseas distributors has been called unethical by some entities, namely those affiliated with the National Association of College Stores (NACS).
