"9/11 is No Joke"

Hosting an anti-Bush blog, I would be totally remiss to not include an entry on the 6th anniversary of the infamous September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the U.S. Anyone who saw Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" knows that Bush was in a classroom reading a children's book about sheep or goats to a class of young children while "the attack on America" transpired. After Andrew Card whispered in Dubya Bush's ear that the country was under attack, Bush had a deer in the headlights look in his eyes and continued reading to the class for several critical minutes. In spite of Bush's initial failure to lead or act Presidential, Dubya basically owes his so-called 're-election' (he wasn't really elected to begin with) to what happened on that September 11. Paraphrasing from Abe lincoln, "You can fool some of the people all of the time...", but in Bush's case all that counts is to fool enough people to get elected or the first time out to be appointed by the Supreme Court.
According to a recent article, the federal government has declared nearly a quarter of a million documents or similar items as classified, supposedly in the name of "National Security", the standard excuse to hide governmental incompetence, malfeasance, deception, lies, and fraud.

As for possible Republican successors to Bush's egregious legacy: Although I loathe the possibility that Mitt for Brains Romney might do for the nation what he has done for Massachusetts and I have little or no respect for how John McCain has kowtowed and shown deference to Bush's blatant lies and mistakes, I think it is shameful how Rudy Giulliani is exploiting the events of 9/11/2001 to try to reach the highest office in the land. As I see it, they all basically suck. Hopefully, the next President won't be so secretive and will honor FOIA (the Freedom Of Information Act.). The more the government does in secret, the less it benefits the Common Man and the individual citizen.
