September 25, 2003, The Fool on the Hill
Amidst polls showing (finally) that the Bush Administration's approval rating has finally dipped below the magic 50% mark (and polls show Bush losing to many Democrats), Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld trekked up to Capitol Hill to testify before the Senate Appropriations Committee pitching why the United States should lay out $87 billion (that's merely over $300 for a year for every man, woman and child in this country for additional expenditure on the Iraq adventure).
Well, what can I say? The number is so staggering, it alone may have shaved 3 or 4 points off Bush's approval rating. But these guys will not admit error-- no matter how obvious it is that they don't know what they are doing. And Rumsfeld is the worst of all. As I said after 9-11, many in the government should have been fired. Ultimately, the only officials fired were the economics team, because they had a bad habit of telling the truth, even if it didn't make the boss look good.
At this point, Rumsfeld has clearly established that he should be fired. Now 5 months after the fall of Baghdad, we can safely declare Iraq a debacle. And yet, the current course will be stayed, even as soldiers return dead or wounded daily. Apparently, being a Bushie means never having to say you're sorry, or aaving to dmit you might have made a mistake.
Free advice to the President: this level of arrogance will not help you with swing state voters.

I am in a moral quandry.
My friend searches for http://www.any1in.us/cheating-girlfriend.html cheating girlfriend on google to screen potential roommates.
He found any1in.us , but did not visit.
I, on the other hand, searched for http://cheating.any1in.us/private-eye.html private eye and found any1in.us.
I went there and found that http://detectives.any1in.us/catholic-charities.html catholic charities were easier to find than on google.
Should I tell him that his potential roommate is a http://cheating.any1in.us/infidelity.html infidelity ?
