I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.

Obviously George W Bush is the worst president we've ever had. What a lying liar he is. Now he's told another BIG LIE, saying that he would be in Texas for Thanksgiving, then sneaking off to Iraq. Important Journalists were understandably indignant:
several of the editors, news directors and producers responsible for directing coverage of the Bush administration said that they found aspects of the White House strategy to be deceptive, excessively secretive and disruptive of the relationship between writer and editor.
One editor objected , for example, to a briefing that Claire Buchan, a White House spokeswoman, gave to reporters in Crawford early Wednesday afternoon.
"The president will be spending Thanksgiving at his ranch here in Crawford." Ms. Buchan said. "If there are updates, additionally, to what he does on Thanksgiving, we'll try and keep you posted."
Ms. Buchan said yesterday she learned of the president's plans to go to Baghdad only after that news briefing. Mr. Allen, in a report to his colleagues in the White House press corps, quoted Mr. Bartlett as saying that the president signed off on the Iraq trip several hours before the briefing.
To Philip Taubman, the Washington bureau chief of The New York Times, that briefing appeared to constitute "deliberate deception."
Mike Abramowitz, the national editor of The Washington Post, said he did not learn that Mr. Allen had gone to Iraq until after the reporter contacted the newspaper's foreign desk from Air Force One on the ride back. He said he found it troubling that the White House had made it hard for the journalists to apprise their editors of their travel plans.
How DARE the president slip out without consulting Mike Abramowitz, national editor of The Washington Post?
So there's the POTUS personally serving Thanksgiving dinner to the troops in Baghdad, showing his gratitude to the troops, talking about serious national issues, and looking presidential.
Meanwhile, the best any of his opponents could come up with was John Kerry, who apparently thought he somehow looked presidential by driving onto Jay Leno's Tonight Show set on a motorcycle.
Pat Boone looked considerably hipper riding his hog onto Leno's stage to sing "Smoke on the Water" a few years ago- and even HE wasn't enough of a Dukakis to wear a helmet.
It's not FAIR. The president should have taken the Democrat presidential candidates along to share the glory. How are they going to look presidential if Bush won't help them?
Enough, I say. Impeachment NOW! BUSH LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. He said he was going to be in Texas, then suddenly showed up in Baghdad.
HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS WILL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE STAND!!!????
What more do I have to say to convince you that Bush is evil personified, and must be removed from office? Alright, here it comes:
NO YELLOW CAKE - SELECTED NOT ELECTED - RIGHT WING EXTREMIST - HITLER - GLOBAL WARMING - JACKBOOT - DEPRESSION - LIAR - COCAINE - FRAT BOY - STUPID - SPECIAL INTERESTS - CHRISTIAN - NAZI - COWBOY - NAZI - ENRON - NAZI - FASCIST HATEMONGER
See? That proves it!
And if you don't impeach him NOW, I'm going to hold my breath till my face turns blue.
