Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today.
Over the last couple of days I've become more convinced than ever that Dubya has gone right round the twist. First there's this:

And now:

Nominating your own lawyer, who has no experience being a judge, to the highest bench in the land? Even putting aside her legal qualifications, it's a lousy political move right after the whole Mike Brown-FEMA thing.
Being aware of the possibility of an outbreak of bird-flu or any other disease is a good thing. Witness the relatively minor problem we had with SARS the other day. Suggesting that the military come in to be used for law enforcement? That's the start of a VERY slippery slope.
Still three more years to go...hoo-boy.

None of this surprises me. Lets review the Dubya record:
- As Governor of Texas, he presided over more executions than took place in the other 49 states combined during the same time period.
- Bush is allied with the bigoted extreme right who want to deny equal rights to homosexuals.
- He refuses to sign the Kyoto Protocol agreement on global warming even though Canada and 177 other countries did.
- When Bill Clinton left office, there was a surplus of $235 billion. Since Bush took over, the surplus has been depleted and his administration's 2003 reflected a $400 billion federal deficit.
- Bush has no respect for the United Nations. When Bush couldn't secure the necessary votes on the Security Council, he subverted the process and invaded Iraq regardless.
- George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, gets his news from Andrew Card and Condoleezza Rice. He doesn't watch the news on television, read newspapers or read the news online.
- The man has taken far more vacation time than any previous President, which is probably a good thing.
- His actions and inactions are directly to blame for the horribly inadequate response to Katrina.
- Osama is still at large. Many believe it's because Dubya took his eye off the prize and prematurely invaded Iraq which had nothing to do with 9/11.
I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of stuff, but I have work to do and can't spend all day recounting Dubya's failures. This Harriet Miers instance is yet another example of Bush putting his pals and cronies in spots that should be reserved for the more qualified. She's another Brownie. The man is grossly incompetent but the greatest over achiever in the history of the world.
