I am so damn sick of looking at that f-ing picture, and am saddened by the fact that it is now associated with me.
Anyway, I think most of us are sort of amused by Bush, though some of us loathe him. Anyway, here is the opinion of someone knowledgable regarding the subject of Presidents and their competency.
That was a great, great article, and not just because I happen to agree with it. Thanks for posting.
Oh, and you can use that wheel in the middle of the mouse to scroll down to that picture any time. Also, use the arrows on the far right of the browser window. I'm sending that dude your cell #.

And I hadn't heard about Bush's administration borrowing more money that all of the other 42 previous presidents combined. In attempts to visualize this, I made some Excel graphs. I'll spare our readers the details, suffice it to say that it appears that Bush has borrowed nothing short of a fuck-ton of money in the last 5 years.

This crap is just for visualization only, it's not based in reality (don't want the Professor on my back)... but here's a graphical representation of what Bush could have spent vs. other presidents. One graph assumes each administration pays a mere 5% more than the previous administration, which I only offer because you can see it on one page. The more realistic 15% and 25% graphs are pretty hard to believe.
In all graphs, the 43rd item is the sum of the previous 42 items. And the last two are so tall because I wanted to stretch it enough so you can at least see the first few data points.
