Dirk Deppey has a interesting piece on people who don't let facts get in the way of a good witch hunt. By the way, if I were giving french kisses at a comicon, considering the kind of folks you get at one, I'd charge a heckuva lot more than $5.
From Mark Evanier I got a link to an essay about Bush's Interesting Day. Just what did Bush do on September 11th? Not much, if the many reports from the mainstream media are to be believed. This essay is frightening to read, because it implies one of two conclusions: Either Bush was intentionally ignoring the events of the day even though he'd been warned in advance about their possibility, or someone was keeping Bush ignorant of the actual severity of the events. Even worse is how incredibly vulnerable Bush was while the attacks were going on. He wasn't evacuated for over 30 minutes, and no fighters were in the air to protect him or the school he was at from a possible attack. With everything else about September 11th under such a close microscope, I'm wondering why Bush's actions of the day are being virtually ignored by everyone? Is it really not that big a deal?
While the secret service couldn't do much to protect Bush, they sure know how to scare High School Students who try to speak their minds. Tom Tomorrow (This Modern World) provided the link to this particularly frightening story. Freedom of speech in Oakland? No way!
