Sites Holmquist trys, and often fails, to go no more than a couple of days without visiting (some of which Holmquist regularly swipes links from without attribution)

Yesterday Bush attended a fundraising luncheon where he said, "I want to thank Ric Flair, professional wrestler. He's with us today. Big Ric, I'm proud you're here. Thank you for coming."
Some might say that Bush's comments were in poor taste given these events, but what they don't know is that Bush had planned to say:
I remember one time me and Big Ric were taking a flight from Atlanta GA. We drank our asses off and showed those stews a little bit of fun. Goddamn we had a good time!
Say what you will about the Bush Administration, but I think they are really nothing more than a bunch of harmful jokesters. And while the comedy might not be worth the cost, so long as the world is paying it, you might as well enjoy the fun. And none of their shenanigans are more amusing than when members of the Bush Administration impeach the credibility of one another.
However in a March 22 Washington Post piece, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said, "The al Qaeda terrorist network posed a threat to the United States for almost a decade before the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Throughout that period -- during the eight years of the Clinton administration and the first eight months of the Bush administration prior to Sept. 11 -- the U.S. government worked hard to counter the al Qaeda threat."
