Is the President an idiot? That was the question that caused a bunch of heat when Joe Scarborough asked it a couple of months ago. Well consider Bush’s latest signing statement and then do the math: President Bush this week asserted that he has the executive authority to disobey a new law in which Congress […]
Of course Bush would take his weekly radio address to try and prop up his image on Katrina: Nearly one year after Hurricane Katrina created a humanitarian and political crisis, President George W.

More like Homeland Waste: The multibillion-dollar surge in federal contracting to bolster the nation’s domestic defenses in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks has been marred by extensive waste and misspent funds, according to a new bipartisan congressional report.
