"As yesterday's positive report card shows," Bush said, "childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured."
That, and because he's spending a billion dollars a day swapping blood for oil and claims he's fiscally responsible with our tax dollars.
Say what you will about Bubba, I think he and Gore put this country on track. They weren't perfect, but there was a positive, forward momentum. I don't consider myself a full-blooded democrat. In my first presidential election, I voted independent. But when Clinton was elected after eight years of Reagan and four years of George H, I felt, literally felt, a weight lift off my shoulders. It was exiting and a time of growth. Now, every day, when I read the news, I am just bewildered. How can this be happening and why are those with heart and a true moral compass so impotent to stop the madness?
I don't know. I do believe it will change with the next election, but I'm impatient and I want change now. I want justice now.

THE BS NEWS QUIZ OF THE DAY
Yesterday, I asked...
"A man at the Oklahoma State Fair prevented a horse stampede by doing what?"
34% said "Giving them cotton candy"
- Sure. Calm them down with sugar. Works for children, too. Not!
16% thought "Singing songs from 'Oklahoma!'"
- No, but the western ballet dream sequence almost put them to sleep.
8% picked "Tasering them"
- Isn't that the answer to everything, bro?
42% got it right with "Biting one of the horses in the ear"
According to the Associated Press, the coach of Oklahoma City's minor-league hockey team helped prevent a possible stampede of Belgian horses at the Oklahoma State Fair by biting one of the animals on its ear. "That's how you stymie a horse," he said. "You bite as hard as you can, and it won't move." This also explains the Mike Tyson-like ear chomps his hockey team's opponents seem to mysteriously suffer.
