Bush and the Bush Administration - Not Talking
Today has been an awful day in
Anyway, I want to talk about something else instead. A large uproar has erupted in the media and in Congress over the plan to allow the change of ownership of a number of our country’s largest ports to a company that is owned by the
Bush has replied that everything has been checked out, and has accused the opponents of the plan of being racist. He said that he doesn’t understand why anyone would have no problem with a British company running our ports (which they do) while objecting to a

That makes my blood boil, and scares me to death. What other decisions are they making that we never find out about?
