    40. The Pat Tillman "friendly fire" fiasco.

    41. The Moussaoui trial.

    42. The 2004 election problems including corrupted voting machines, diverted data in Ohio, caging, deleted voter registrations and other voter suppression, etc.

    43. The 9/11 Commission report and its recommendations ignored(and the "investigation" that was an underfunded whitewash).

    44. The Iraq Study Group - whose recommendations were ignored.

    45. Gasoline prices over $4 a gallon in the midwest and higher on the coasts.
