The emperor's new veto

Bush's first veto of Congress marks the collapse of his imperial presidency -- and a crisis for the paranoid style he and his party have mastered.

    Grope for power

    Unfortunately the world is a very scary place to live in. The president is a child who has never grown up and he has very scary uncles and aunts to look after him seeing as he does not consult his father on vital issues. His behaviour around the German leader yesterday reminded me of a video clip I saw on YouTube recently where POTUS was in a TV studio between commercial breaks and failing to find a piece of tissue handy to wipe his spectacles he instead chose to wipe them in the tail of a female TV assistants jacket! He found this to be quite humorous and seemed to convince everyone else to go along with his childish behaviour. I wonder if he is doing drugs again?
