Bush laughably claimed a "mandate" in 2000, when 5 members of the Supreme Court stopped the Florida vote recount and appointed him president. Is it surprising, then, that after eking out the narrowest margin of election victory since Woodrow Wilson, and having a record number of Americans (51 million) vote AGAINST him, that Bush again claims a "mandate" for his neo-con/ultra-right wing policies?

Fu**ed up is our world; Iraq kills climbing.
Such weirdness of the mind, that Shrub is defining.

War's the Right Wing's dream.
Troop families mourning.
Halliburton sleaze.
War pain appalling...
