Normally, I don't like to talk about politics, but in honor of the upcoming Republican convention, I thought I'd provide this convenient list of links to read about G.W. Bush...

Actually, I am not most incensed about the poor economy or massive loss of jobs, or being misled into the Iraq war, or the Swift Boat smear job, or the ignorant ban against stem cell research, or his poor performance as a military strategist, or anything else that Michael Moore accuses the Bush administration of. I find myself most upset about the Valerie Plame matter. I find it shocking that a senior White House official would be willing to commit treason - by outing a CIA operative and endangering her life as well as her entire network - just to do yet another political smear job. When will it end?

Hopefully, this reign of the Bush empire will end this November. I know two Americans who are over fifty and have never voted and are lifelong political apathists... who have actually shocked their families by registering to vote... against Bush. I don't know if the pollsters reach these kind of people, but I think that 2004 will have the largest voter turnout in history, all coming out to give GW Bush the boot, and a going away present of a one term legacy, just like his father.

This November, may the best man win.
