this is an article that you can send to your friends and relatives who are still clinging to BushCo for whatever reason. if it can sway Justin even a tad, perhaps it can sway anyone.

From foreign to economic to social policy, Bush's record is a lesson in the limits and perils of conviction. He's too confident to consult a map. He's too strong to heed warnings and too steady to turn the wheel when the road bends. He's too certain to admit error, even after plowing through ditches and telephone poles. He's too preoccupied with principle to understand that principle isn't enough. Watching the stars instead of the road, he has wrecked the budget and the war on terror. Now he's heading for the Constitution. It's time to pull him over and take away the keys.

i'm going home to see my parents tonight, i think. mostly so i can use their TaxCut software. the last time we went to visit them, it was a lesson in mediocrity. i hope that this weekend will be better. as we discussed, i have to take a proactive approach to getting their asses in gear. i figure i will make my dad go for a walk, make my mother take me shopping, make my brother take me to play pool and make my sister jog around the neighborhood with me. at least, that's the plan.
