The Bush Library

   It looks like the Bush Crime Family is making plans for his presidential library to the tune of $500 BILLION dollars! He wants it built at SMU in Dallas, TX.

    I wonder if he'll put up any of the illegal executive orders that he has signed over the past six years?  What about the minutes from Cheney's meeting with the oil executives when  they were plotting our energy policies?    What I'd really like to know is how big his "My pet goat" section will be!

   The legacy-polishing centerpiece is an institute, which several Bush insiders called the Institute for Democracy. Patterned after Stanford University's Hoover Institution, Bush's institute will hire conservative scholars and "give them money to write papers and books favorable to the President's policies," one Bush insider said.

The half-billion target is double what Bush raised for his 2004 reelection and dwarfs the funding of other presidential libraries. But Bush partisans are determined to have a massive pile of endowment cash to spread the gospel of a presidency that for now gets poor marks from many scholars and a majority of Americans.      The article

Iraq going down hill

   My how fast the climate in Iraq changes.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The bloodiest bombings in Baghdad since the U.S. invasion in 2003, and the reprisals that swiftly followed, show that Iraq's sectarian conflict may be too far gone for leaders to stop, even if they want to.

The killings of some 250 people in just a few days last week marked a "high-water mark", analysts said. It demonstrated with savage clarity how little control Iraq's government exercises, with a security force accused of sectarian bias and a series of peace plans doing little to slow the pace of killing.  More From Reuters
