lumber) (votes first)

up”).

em bulldog my gas now 1.65 per gallon)

Market at Work”)

Please guys! Be nice.
Return our plane. “I regret it”

Each month a new warning. When BOY?

humanitarian help
in event a slaughter is done in Afghan. (Sounds
like Reagan?)
11. NYT-1-23-03—Bush (Man of steel will)
“rescinding” old policy and implementing a new policy that allows
managed care organizations to limit and restrict coverage of emergency
services for poor people on Medicaid. This was after criticizing HMO.s for
refusal to allow treatment. If this is a Devout
Christian I am Jesus Christ
.

now willing to consider agricultural and energy aid. (Hold
on! This is EVIL of axis)

starts) Military pay increase of 2% then 4% Stars &
Stripes-12-30-02—Bush asked Defense Dept. to lower the announced pay raise
for the military from 3.7% to 2%. Finally got 4 in 2004 budget.

over five years. (Sounds like Clinton was the Educated
educator to me.)
16. Wash Post-12-2-02—In June 2002 Bush promised 500 Million to
fight mother-child transmission of Aids . In Aug he vetoed the first
transfer of the 500 million. In 111 days since his promise 222,000 babies

have faith in him”. (your faith lasts two weeks

not quite “any”)

knew a damn bunch (but I was too busy on Vacation and
looking for more to blame on that President who stomped my dad. Darn it is
tough being dumb, inarticulate and following such a brain and great success)
30.“I am in excellent physical condition.” (Darn,
staying up till midnight in Paris zapped all my energy—Boy—try conditioning
your mind)
31. "I am on top of everything." (Why did
you say twice on TV—“I am not in control the Pentagon is running the War
(Afghan)—You have a White House base—same as Al Qaeda. Only more secretive)

retirees (Yep! He was a war hero).. 6-20-02
