Wow, What a Dork

Yesterday, Bush told us "Time are kind of tough." Thanks, Dubya, I was under the mistaken impression that we were living in a boom time.

Today we learn he is "unlikely to attend" an important environmental summit. The strangest thing about this is that a conservative group, big on "competitiveness," is applauding Bush for sending Colin Powell in his stead. Said the president of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, "The fortunate thing is when 40,000 goofies get together, not much happens." "Goofies?" Yes, I'm sure the World Summit on Sustainable Development, held only once every ten years, and attended by more than 100 world leaders, is a popular event for "goofies." God forbif the United States should be responsible in any way for the pollution and destruction perpetrated in the name of competitiveness. Goofy, indeed.
