Pig Of The Day: GEORGE BUSH SENIOR
GAHH, here’s an insane joke from ancient oil baron George H.W. Bush about how he ran into “one of the ugliest, angriest women I’ve ever seen,” some lady who loved abortion, the punchline being that he would never in a million years have fucked her.

Crowley: Balance of power trying to find balance - CNN.com

Ahmadinejad: Say Sorry
Former President Bush’s enemies have so far seemed eager to make nice with President Obama (see Russia’s scrapping of missile plans today), but it looks like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is going to spoil the fun.

\"Praise Song for the Day\" Reloaded (Attack of the Inaugural Poem)
With most Americans, I watched the inauguration ceremonies of President Barack Obama last Tuesday. At times I weeped. At others, grinned like the Cheshire cat. And, being a poet, I actually paid attention to Elizabeth Alexander as she recited her poem "Praise Song for the Day," written for the inauguration. I paid attention, but knew I'd have find the video and text, sit somewhere, and be still before forming an opinion. (Poet pictured at right.)Preparing to write this post, I sifted through critiques of
