Don't Believe the Newspapers. Believe Us! We Would Never Lead You Astray. Right?
"I'm here to tell you that the American people stand with our troops. No matter what you might read in the newspapers, people do appreciate the gift of freedom." U.S. first lady Laura Bush told hundreds of American servicemen and women gathered at an air terminal in Kuwait.
Huh? What was she talking about?
I never thought freedom was a "gift", I thought it was my constitutional right. I'm so glad Laura set me straight!
No wonder W married Laura - they admire each other twisting the English language.

The Effects Of Bush's Visit
Jay Jeffcoat said the
president promised to replace a baseball that famed pitcher Nolan Ryan had
autographed for a namesake, Jeffcoat's son, Ryan.
“The president says he's going to call Nolan Ryan from Air Force One and get
that ball,” Jeffcoat said.
...Still covered in
ashes, firefighters Danny Chandler and Chris Cortright from Mount Laguna waited
on the back of a pickup truck. They could see the showers and the food tent, in
the distance, but the president's visit kept them and dozens of other
firefighters from moving. Chandler had been fighting the fire in Ramona for 24
hours. Cortright had been at it for 48 hours.
“I appreciate him being here,” Chandler said, drinking Gatorade as he waited in
the sun, “but they could have organized this better. I'd just as soon eat.”

"I will follow Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell and I will shoot him with
your products," John McCain said.
McCain told reporters afterward he was joking when he made the comment at
Thompson Center Arms in Rochester.
"I certainly didn't mean I would actually shoot him. I am certainly angry at
him, but I was only speaking in a way that was trying to emphasize my point,"
McCain said.
"I would not shoot him myself."

Who's In Charge In California?
As
wildfires were charging across Southern California, nearly two dozen
water-dropping helicopters and two massive cargo planes sat idly by, grounded by
government rules and bureaucracy...It
took as long as a day for Navy, Marine and California National Guard
helicopters to get clearance early this week, in part because state rules
require all firefighting choppers to be accompanied by state forestry "fire
spotters" who coordinate water or retardant drops. By the time those spotters
arrived, the powerful Santa Ana winds stoking the fires had made it too
dangerous to fly.
A day? It would be nice to know just how much those
fires grew in that delay. And did anyone call the governor to cut the red tape?
My God, California was inept at the start of the fires and sat by while they
surged out of control for a
DAY!

Q And one more. You mentioned that there are health benefits to climate change. Could you describe some of those?
MS. PERINO: Sure. In some cases, there are -- look, this is an issue where I'm sure lots of people would love to ridicule me when I say this, but it is true that many people die from cold-related deaths every winter. And there are studies that say that climate change in certain areas of the world would help those individuals.
