A little scary... if the facts were verifiable, I might be miffed.  For now it's just another internet list (a LOT of things circulated about Bush online are embellished/untrue-for example, the vast majority of Bushisms were made up).

Maybe this will turn into a "let's all bash Korporate Amerika" thread.  Ooh boy would that be fun. ::)

What happened to the no politics rule

The no politics rule has to do with voicing your opinions, pushing your ideas about government and being overly aggressive to another person's political beliefs.

If you "steer" it in another direction, you would be a prime example of why politics are banned at this forum...  ;)

Now play nice!
