On the other side of the truck will be this:

By Peter Fredson January 29, 2006 Part Two: GEORGE W. BUSH AND COMPASSION
I have studied the mannerisms, verbalizations and actions of GWB for some years. I now realize that nothing is what it seems to be.

NEW ORLEANS - Officials and community advocates are quietly planting the seeds for an enterprising program that could give the government temporary control over thousands of privately owned homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

A White House leak revealing astonishing details of how Tony Blair and George Bush lied about the Iraq war is set to cause a worldwide political storm.
A new book exposes how the two men connived to dupe the United Nations and blows the lid off Mr Blair’s claim that he was a restraining influence on Mr Bush.
He offered his total support for the war at a secret White House summit as Mr Bush displayed his contempt for the UN, made a series of wild threats against Saddam Hussein and showed (…)

A bit over a week ago, President Bush and his men promised to provide the legal, constitutional and moral justifications for the sort of warrantless spying on Americans that has been illegal for nearly 30 years. Instead, we got the familiar mix of political spin, clumsy historical misinformation, contemptuous dismissals of civil liberties concerns, cynical attempts to paint dissents as anti-American and pro-terrorist, and a couple of big, dangerous lies.

The passionate interlude of William Clinton with Monica Lewinsky started my computer files of Presidential adventures. Soon thousands of files of interesting escapades filled my computer hard-drive, although none as sexy as those of Bill and Monica.
There was a great moral outrage of Republican Senators over the Presidential blow-job with a tremendous sackcloth-and-ashes routine for months, including (…)
