Recent pronouncements from our leader
Got a bit of coke lodged up there, George?

"It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on the word of — and the allegations — by people who were held in detention, people who hate America, people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble — that means not tell the truth." —George W. Bush, on an Amnesty International report on prisoner abuse at Guantanamo Bay, Washington, D.C., May 31, 2005 (You gotta listen to the audio)
"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." —George W. Bush, Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005 (Listen to audio)
"We discussed the way forward in Iraq, discussed the importance of a democracy in the greater Middle East in order to leave behind a peaceful tomorrow." —George W. Bush, Tbilisi, Georgia, May 10, 2005
"I think younger workers — first of all, younger workers have been promised benefits the government — promises that have been promised, benefits that we can't keep. That's just the way it is." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 4, 2005
"It means your own money would grow better than that which the government can make it grow. And that's important." —George W. Bush, on what private accounts could do for Social Security funds, Falls Church, Va., April 29, 2005

Mark Crispin Miller studied Bush and his speech patterns in the excellent book "The Bush Dyslexicon". He found that Bush only stumbles and speaks like a moron when he's talking about things he really doesn't care about.
Yet when he talks about revenge, killing people, making people pay, the words flow out perfectly.
Ever since I read that, I realize that it's true.
Corn Husker. Crispin Miller's "Bush Dyslexicon" is indeed a good book and I recommend picking it up at the library or bookstore. He's since written "Cruel and Unusual, Bush/Cheney's New World Order", which I've read as well.
(Go to Amazon and search in books on "crispin miller" to see his stuff.)
Other recommended books can be found by clicking on the "View my complete profile" link up at the top right of the page. I list some excellent books there that I have read.
I've also set up a web page where I hope to create a "book club" of sorts where people who enjoy reading politically themed books can recommend and review them and share with others.
I'm not certain how to set it up or if anyone would be interested.
Does that sound worthwhile to anyone?
An alternative would be to create a "perma-link" in the sidebar to my previous post about books. That would give people a place where they can leave comments about books they've read and/or recommend and other book related stuff.
