bush or jefferson?
when george w. bush was elected gasoline was $1.46
george bush told us that the iraqi oil reserves would pay for the war and bring gasoline prices down. today gasoline is over $3.00 per gal. and we are spending 8 billion a month in iraq.
in 2000 on the campaign trail george bush was asked about "dictators" his answer is quite reveling: "i think dictatorships are very bad....unless, of course, i am the dictator." and then he laughed. and the press corps following his campaign laughed as well.
george bush says he never reads newspapers.
thomas jefferson said, "were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, i should not hesitate for a moment to prefer the latter."

I read your most recent post with considerable interest, as I am actually the great-great-great-great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson. I don't mention this very often, because my great-great-great-great grandmother was his black mistress. I do know for a fact that he frequently gave newspapers to all of his slaves, though mostly the comic sections. In any event, thank you for paying tribute to my illustrious ancestor.
