RESUME - GEORGE W. BUSH

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE


LAW ENFORCEMENT:I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been"lost" and is not available.

MILITARY:I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.

COLLEGE: I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.PAST

WORK EXPERIENCE: I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS: I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union.During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became president after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.I set the record for most campaign fundraising trips by a U.S. President.I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron. My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history.I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.--this is true.I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.--actually what happened is the World Court is changing into the International Criminal Court--because the US wants to be a part of the court, but notbe open to having the US have charges brought up against them, they have temporarily ceased negotiating with the countries involved in and taking part in the establishment of the ICC. So, in other words, the US wants to be able to establish the laws within the ICC, practice those laws within the ICC, but not have those laws applied to our country.I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.--Guantanomo Bay.I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).I set the record for fewest number of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period.After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most disliked country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in worldhistory.I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind.I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, preemptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families - in wartime.In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," WMD. I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein to justice.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view.All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

Ananova - Top doc backs picking your nose and eating it: "Top doc backs picking your nose and eating it

Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor.
Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies.
He says society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking and encourage children to take it up."

New Jersey Governor Resigns, Saying 'I Am A Gay American'
08.12.2004 5:28 PM EDT

New Jersey Governor James McGreevey resigned from office Thursday, stating, 'I am a gay American.'

McGreevey spoke at a press conference in Trenton, New Jersey, Thursday afternoon (August 12), following allegations of corruption made by several of his political aides. The governor, who had served two years of his term, cited a 'consensual affair with another man.'

With his wife standing by his side, McGreevey announced his homosexuality. 'From my early days in school until the present day,' he said, 'I noticed something that separated me from others.'

'I have grappled with my own identity,' McGreevey continued, describing how he struggled to align himself with what he felt were values that would make him part of a 'traditional community.'

'My truth is,' he said, 'that I am a gay American.'"

A sad day for a major portion of the worlds population. Gay rights/issues took two steps back today, but no matter what is said or done the issues will not go away. Gaydom is NOT just a human choice or mistake but part of the natural process. It exsists in the animal kingdom (which let us not forget, humans are animals too) among most if not all species. And just for the record, no I'm not gay and if I was, it should not matter.

The California Supreme Court said on Thursday that the nearly 4,000 same-sex marriages authorized by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom in the last year are null and void.

The court ruled that Newsom overstepped his authority as mayor, and that the city of San Francisco violated the law by issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in a monthlong wedding spree that began February 12."

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) � Ralph Nader's bid to get on the state ballot in November apparently got some help from Republicans who gathered to see President Bush during a campaign stop Friday. "

How pathetic that the Republicians feel that they must use such underhanded methods to win a few votes. The Oil Twins (Bush and Cheney) must be scared, and they should be! I really think & hope that Americans are starting to see threw all the smoke and mirrors (Terror alerts based on outdated info., an improving economy (of course unemployment rates have dropped, once your benefits runout you are no longer counted as unemployed you just disappear from the count! Does that make sense?)moving the election date because of some vague/made up threat....PLEASE!) to the truth of it all. Bush and Cheney want to be President for their own good not yours or mine! NUFF SAID!

Tyson's Lastest Defeat Follows Familiar Pattern IBOP Boxing News: "HBO broadcaster Larry Merchant was an original investor in the Cloverlay Corporation. The Cloverlay Corp bank rolled Joe Frazier's career from 1965 through 1974. Merchant also covered Mike Tyson's career from his pro debut through his prime 1985-90. I once asked him to compare Frazier and Tyson. His exact response was as follows.
'Joe Frazier was a mile wide and a mile deep,' Mike Tyson is a mile wide and an inch deep.' Nothing I have ever heard or read sums up Mike Tyson's shortcomings as a fighter as profoundly as Merchant�s words.
For the record, I've always felt that Tyson was overrated at his peak by many writers and fans. If talent alone determined greatness, then Tyson is among the greats. However, talent is only a part of what determines an athlete or a fighter�s greatness. That being said, Mike Tyson is not one of the top-ten greatest Heavyweight Champions of all time. However, if excuses count, then maybe a case can be made for him?"

Being thirty six I remember watching Tyson in his prime. (or at least trying, I remember a fight in the late eighties I turned to fill my beer and the fight was over. I forget who he was fighting but it lasted 30-45 seconds only. I had paid $20 to watch the fight in a bar..... gggrrrr I was so mad) I was really pulling for Mikes come back I feel that he has had some bad turns/luck in life. Maybe next time.... and with his fame dwindling I think that he has only one or two more chances. In my humble opinion Mike needs to go back to basics and fight on some minor cards to prove to himself and his few fans that he still has a few fights left. Forget the big payouts and declare bankruptcy Mike (in case you don't know he is like $28 nmillion in debt! and broke.), maybe just maybe you can make enough then, to start over.

DNC Special Reports: Top 10 Bush Lies: "The Bush Record: Top 10 Bush Lies
Bush on Iraq
1. 'Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.' [Bush Remarks, Cincinnati OH, 10/7/02]
Fact:Saddam Did not Have Chief Requirements for Nuclear Weapons
The Washington Post reported, 'What Hussein did not have was the principal requirement for a nuclear weapon, a sufficient quantity of highly enriched uranium or plutonium. And the U.S. government, authoritative intelligence officials said, had only circumstantial evidence that Iraq was trying to obtain those materials.' Inspectors in postwar Iraq have 'found the former nuclear weapons program, described as a 'grave and gathering danger' by President Bush and a 'mortal threat' by Vice President Cheney, in much the same shattered state left by U.N. inspectors in the 1990s.' [Washington Post, 8/10/03, 1/7/04]"

TheStar.com - Justifying torture brings shame to U.S.: "Justifying torture brings shame to U.S.


The Bush administration assures the country, and the world, that it is complying with U.S. and international laws banning torture and maltreatment of prisoners.
But, breaking with a practice of openness that had lasted for decades, it has classified as secret and refused to disclose the techniques of interrogation it is using on foreign detainees at U.S. prisons at Guantanamo Bay and in Afghanistan and Iraq.
This is a matter of grave concern because the use of some of the methods that have been reported in the press is regarded by independent experts as well as some of the Pentagon's legal professionals as illegal.
The administration has responded that its civilian lawyers have certified its methods as proper � but it has refused to disclose, or even provide to Congress, the justifying opinions and memos."

President Reagan dies at 93: "WASHINGTON - Ronald Reagan, the cheerful crusader who devoted his presidency to winning the Cold War, trying to scale back government and making people believe it was ``morning again in America,'' died Saturday after a long twilight struggle with Alzheimer's disease. He was 93.
He died at his home in California, according to a family friend, who initially disclosed the death on condition of anonymity. The friend said the family has turned to making funeral arrangements. A formal statement from the family was expected later."

Even as a staunch anti republican I must mourn the passing of a great man.

Google News: "Bush's overall job approval rating has fallen to 50 percent, a career low. His rating for honesty and trustworthiness is likewise at a new low. "

Rating for honesty and trustworthiness..mmm... -10.
