Voodoo set free in Haiti: "The government of Haiti has recognised Voodoo as a religion."

Also, on Short Attention Span Theatre (from skreidle via various people):

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
-- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
-- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

Watched The Sting last night. (1973, like I thought.) Excellent movie. It's not deep cinema, but it's a lot of fun and has a few good twists. Well written, spectacularly acted.
Other than that, life goes on.

Looked for the second quote. All the links were to left-leaning sites. The most popular being democratic underground. Another called "Nazis and Newsies." Never Trust a Monkey. Make Them Accountable, etc.

Apparently one of the sites linked to a Bush speech and no where in the article was the above mentioned.

Now then. I can say that my first concern is to find a murderer and then six months later notice someone standing in front of me threatening my life and who is known to support the first murderer. Do I ignore him because I need to pay attention to the first one because I said so? Oh sorry Mr. Saddam, you broke the rules and financed al Qaeda and we know it, but I will let you keep on keeping on because I have to get this other guy first.

But hey! He is Bush and is obviously a moron to everyone who is oh so much smarter and speaks oh so much better. Too damn bad they didn't run for president. I would love to have an academic scholar and someone who speaks well and who has been in politics all their life and never held a real job run the country.

Hit hot button with me! I will calm down now.

Not for long, I imagine.
Tell me something- if all it takes to 'know' someone has financed Al-Queda is a series of accusations, then what's to stop me from saying we all know that YOU have financed it? The administration has yet to show even the slightest shred of proof of Saddam's financing Al-Queda.
Bush sounds like a moron because he is a moron- compared to the others who've held the office. He is, however, quite the inspiration- after all, he showed us you don't have to be elected to be president.

Well then obviously I am a moron according to your post. So I will shut up since this is Tucker's journal and not mine. And since I am a moron for believing what I read, see, and observe I cannot convince you of anything.

Sorry Tucker.

There are a lot of people who are both educated, well-spoken, and have held down real jobs. Look at the (oh god, a democrat) state governor, for example. Regarding Iraq, I'd be happier if the government would just present the evidence (I really want to believe) they have and justify themselves. Surely that kind of evidence isn't a security risk anymore.

On the other hand, I certainly think that Iraq and the entire world will be a better place with Saddam deposed, and hopefully tried, convicted and locked up to suffer alone for the rest of his life.

Or he could just go to Hell and become Satan's lover... (I hope you get the reference). =)
