  • Back to the Future – What Bush would do if he were president

    Recession. Unemployment. Corporate fraud. A war based on false premises that has cost us $200 billion and nearly a thousand American lives. They’re all hills we’ve “been given to climb.” It’s as though Bush wasn’t president. As though he didn’t get the tax cuts he wanted. As though he didn’t bring about postwar Iraq and authorize the planning for it. All this was “given,” and now Bush can show up, three and a half years into his term, and start solving the problems some other president left behind.

  • Bush by numbers: Four years of double standards – mostly sad, but also some scary statistics

    70m Estimated number of Americans who describe themselves as Evangelicals who accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour and who interpret the Bible as the direct word of God.

    23m Number of Evangelicals who voted for Bush in 2000.

    50m Number of voters in total who voted for Bush in 2000.
