From Kos<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We know you have a choice in Internets, so thank you for choosing this one. Come back and see us again soon, we appreciate your business.<\/p>\n

And if I may offer a little advise — stay away from those Canadian Internets (damn third-world hellhole). They aren’t safe.<\/p><\/div>\n

From The NY Times<\/i><\/a>:<\/p>\n

[T]he president was utterly incoherent when asked about whom he might name to the Supreme Court in a second term. His comment about how he didn’t want to offend any judges because he wanted “them all voting for me” was a joke – but an unfortunate one, given the fact that the president owes his job to a Supreme Court vote…<\/div>\n

And what was up with that Timber Company exhange? Here’s the deal…<\/p>\n

Bush has been charging that Kerry’s plan to rollback Bush’s tax cuts on the top 1% of Americans — those making over $200,000 a year — would effect 900,000 small businesses. Here’s the exchange:<\/p>\n

KERRY: …And you know why he gets that count? The president got $84 from a timber company that owns, and he’s counted as a small business. Dick Cheney’s counted as a small business. That’s how they do things. That’s just not right.<\/p>\n

BUSH: I own a timber company? <\/p>\n

(LAUGHTER)<\/p>\n

That’s news to me.<\/p>\n

(LAUGHTER)<\/p>\n

Need some wood?<\/p>\n

(LAUGHTER)<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s more news for ya, Mr. “President”, according to FactCheck.ORG<\/a>:<\/p>\n

President Bush himself would have qualified as a “small business owner” under the Republican definition, based on his 2001 federal income tax returns. He reported $84 of business income from his part ownership of a timber-growing enterprise. However, 99.99% of Bush’s total income came from other sources that year. (Bush also qualified as a “small business owner” in 2000 based on $314 of “business income,” but not in 2002 and 2003 when he reported his timber income as “royalties” on a different tax schedule.)<\/div>\n
