And two little girls figure out the secret to saving the world from both of its enemies (and it isn't by using energy-efficient light bulbs or biodiesel fuel). As the World Burns will inspire you to do whatever it takes to stop ecocide before it's too late.<BR/>Seven Stories Press - $14.95 - 9781583227770Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989112228749810477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25825996.post-84888593580620403172008-05-07T11:59:00.000-04:002008-05-07T11:59:00.000-04:00Oh and I forgot that incomparable "Mission Accomp...Oh and I forgot that incomparable "Mission Accomplished" stroke of genius.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989112228749810477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25825996.post-83798198925046310962008-05-07T11:58:00.000-04:002008-05-07T11:58:00.000-04:00He sure closed down Iraq.

Although it puts idiots in a bad light and I apologize to any idiots who are offended.<BR/>I got a magnet that says 'More Trees, Less Bush' after seeing him introduce his 'Healthy Forests Initiative" in a lumber lot with a chain saw.

And as for Bush, there was a bumper sticker around here (in Texas!) one time that I just loved: It proclaimed Bush as a Texas village idiot. I have apologized to bloggers in other countries when they have to suffer Bush "and his entourage" coming to their city and closing everything down. I didn't vote for him, but still feel chagrined that I am from a country that still managed to vote in "the village idiot."<BR/>BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
