George W. Bush has great disdain for intelligence. And no respect for the CIA.

"Bush" and "intelligence" in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

Of course we have to remember that the very notion that this is all a "terrible mistake" is just another phony excuse. The ME is all about the oil and it has been for 100 years. We went into the ME because world oil production is peaking. Period.

But we'll never see that printed in the New York Times.

Never is a very long time. I could see such talk at some point in the distant future, when the NYT is looking back at current time period retrospectively.

Interesting. I can see a world without the New York Times at all.

Over at LATOC, Matt posted an article called

American kids, dumber than dirt
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2007/10/24/notes102407.DTL

about how student's mental abilities have radically deteriorated over the years. Perhaps kids are being underestimated, though. Perhaps with GHB as a role-model, they know what it takes to succeed in the US.

This is why we have off-shored all of our manufacturing - because we will have all of these future "knowledge workers" to staff our "knowledge economy."

He may not be well educated and he may not be much of an intellectual and he certainly has difficulties with speech but it would be a mistake to call him dumb. Don't underestimate him. When pressed he can be very clever about getting his way.
