First heard this on Stephanie Miller this morning, and it seems to be going hot: Mail President Bush a shoe. The address for the White House is: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington DC, 20500.

After all the abuse of office, and the sheer inability of the man to come to grips with the great moral evil he has unleashed on the world, even from a purely secular, even epicurean, even Buddhist viewpoint... he deserves it. He will not go down as our next Truman, loathed upon leaving office only to be rehabilitated by history. He will be the torture president.

In an interview yesterday on ABC with Martha Radditz, Bush made the self-serving statement that "One of the major theaters of war against al-Qaeda was Iraq." Radditz pointed out that al-Qaeda wasn't in Iraq until the U.S. invasion. Bush's response: "Yeah, that's right. So what?"

So what.

So, send him a shoe. You probably don't want to put a return address on it. Think of it as a going away present. Hell, it's not like the country has any money left to pay the mail office workers at the White House anyway.

No WMD's? How about 550 Metric Tonnes of Yellowcake from Nigeria. Look it up.

Thank you, Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/yellowcake.asp):

The removal of yellowcake uranium from Iraq in 2008 proved that Saddam Hussein had been trying to restart Iraq's nuclear program.

Snopes failed to mention that Saddam Hussein claimed to have destroyed this yellowcake and refused to let UN Inspectors revisit the site... just one of the reasons cited for the UN passing a resolution declaring Saddam's violation of the 1991 cease-fire agreement.

I lost all faith in Snopes regarding partisan political issues many years ago. Their liberal bias is obvious to people who do their own research. and compare the facts of what they *don't* include in their articles.

Destroyed 550 metric tons of yellowcake? Sounds easy & cheap. NOT!

Ooops, I am evidently confused.

Wait, are third-party claims of what Hussein supposedly claimed a good source of facts about him? I didn't even know that Hussein himself was a trustworthy source of facts about his government and its capabilities.
