Today, while he's in the Bay Area, President Bush will speak on his record and his philosophy of "compassionate conservatism." Bush has much to crow about. He won a tax cut that brought relief to American families. The Euros had dismissed him as "a cowboy," only to be dazzled by his methodical response to global terrorism. As a governor, Bush showed how a focus on results can improve literacy. As a president, he wants that approach to guide increased foreign aid to the world's destitute.

| Just got back from Amsterdam and a few other places in Europe. On the back of the official tourist map for Amsterdam is an ad for Madame Tussaud's, the famous wax museum. It's a wax figure of our current Bush, saying "Amsterdam: My favorite country"! sounds like he's getting the respect he deserves :) [ Post Comment ] |

| "The Euros had dismissed him as "a cowboy," only to be dazzled by his methodical response to global terrorism." Yeah, right. With the Bushlette posturing and spouting his 'If you're not with us, you're against us' rhetoric, it seemed like everybody loved him. The world is now seeing him as the iniquitous insipid weasel he is. [ Post Comment ] |

Now, under cover of the USA Patriot Act, passed Oct. 26, the FBI is poised to
intrude once more on library confidentiality, this time with an arsenal of surveillance
that even our library confidentiality laws may not be able to prevent. It allows the FBI to compel production of library circulation records, Internet use records and registration information without demonstrating "probable cause." The agent can simply express his belief that the desired records may be related to an ongoing investigation related to terrorism or intelligence activities. Librarians served with such a search warrant may not disclose, under penalty of law, the existence of the warrant. Even the patron cannot be told that he or she is the subject of an FBI investigation. http://commondreams.org/views02/0429-02.htm In his campaign he said that he respected "plain-spoken" people and that he was the sort of guy who did not care to 'sit down and read a five-hundred-page book.' What he calls "plain spoken" I see as ignorance and depravity. With the library surveillance program, the US publicly and officially joins the former Soviet Union and the Third Reich in the contempt for truth and the promotion of ignorance as an ideal. Ignorant people are easier to control and intimidate. Our leaders are barbarians fearful of an educated public. I'm taking a copy of this article to the local librarian. I hope it makes her angry.
