I'm very much on the same lilly pad as Sir Frog here.
I've become EXTREMELY uncomfortable in the years since I've watched the Bush
dynasty flourish.  It all makes a thinking American either very paranoid or
disdainful of the American system's spiral downward.  I don't think the founders
of this nation would be pleased, as I am not.  Things just look far too sinister
to me.
The only good Bush,
Is a Burning Bush.
