Why would Bush sign a transparency bill? I guess it doesn't really matter, he doesn't follow the law anyway.

Subject: Have a Healthy and Happy New Year!

Only one more year of Bush! I stayed home for New Year's eve. Didn't feel like celebrating much and looked through your archives of the past year. Bush really is nuts! Thank you so much and I hope you have the best year ever. This is my favorite

Happy New Year! Thanks for writing, Gar. I stayed home too and my dog Pierce and I watched TV and fireworks from my balcony. Woo Hoo! Hey, I'm happy and healthy and thank you for the New Year wish.

This is one of my favorites from last year
