The only bright spot was UCLA squeaking by Alabama. Note to Howland: Free throw practice. Make them shoot 500 free throws every day until Thursday 'cause Gonzaga is gonna be a bitch.

I just finished a fun book Franken - Lies and the Lying Liars. Nothing really new here that we didn't know or suspect about the Bush Administration but it, and other books like it, serve as a reminder of how much manipulation is done by the Bush Adminstration. Just yesterday in the LA Times was a column saying how the Bush Administration is changing the requirements in order to declare a successful outcome in Iraq as if any other outcome were even possible according to Bush.

They will not EVER admit weakness or failure. (And that, right there, is but one of their wekanesses.) There could be nukes going off in Iraq and Bush would declare victory. We could lose the entire Armed Forces and the Bushies would spin it as Clinton's fault. I'm surprised they haven't planted WMDs in Iraq.

Franken proclaims Bush as arguably the worst President ever but I think he was being generous and trying not to incite the Radical Right.

This book is highly recommended.

What happens when there is too many people and not enough jobs?

What happens when there's too many people and not enough food? Interesting article the other day about how our foods - fruits and vegetables - are more abundant but less nutritious than from a few decades ago. That is, you have to eat more to get the same amount of good stuff. Agri-business, of course, uses a variety of chemicals to increase productions. Arguably, they have to because there's too many people. So, in the long run, we'll have a lot of semi-starved people.

Bush is a genius. By acting like a complete psychotic, he's kowtowing other nations into doing what he wants. Who wants a nucular war witha madman. I just hope it's an act.
