over *ush's manly look (in his various tough guy dress up costumes) AND over the executive advice that in response to terror, we should shop.

He definitely swooned over Shrub's codpiece march on the carrier. I remember my stomach erupting in a new Alien eruption. I wrote him off after that.

What an inauspicious way to start leading the country to ruin.

WASHINGTON, DC–Mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of Bill Clinton, president-elect George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that "our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over."

"My fellow Americans," Bush said, "at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in American history that will come to be known as the Clinton Era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas. The time has come to put all of that behind us."

Bush swore to do "everything in [his] power" to undo the damage wrought by Clinton's two terms in office, including selling off the national parks to developers, going into massive debt to develop expensive and impractical weapons technologies, and passing sweeping budget cuts that drive the mentally ill out of hospitals and onto the street.

During the 40-minute speech, Bush also promised to bring an end to the severe war drought that plagued the nation under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years.


Amazing. It really was from January 2001 before Bush was inaugurated.

After reading it I thought it might have been written and then backdated. Nope, they called everything.

Hard to believe so many of us old-timers are probably now on Social Security. Hope you're doing okay.
