Side by Side by Side

Four articles on the Google News Reader, roughly side by side:


Iraqis Ponder Lessons of............ Mourners Gather at Capitol to
History after Saddam Hangs .........Pay Respects to Ford



Clan plans "Saddam library" ... Muslims celebrate two Eids:
at Burial Site ................................. At A Glance


Interesting juxtapositioning, I thought....

By the way -- those mourners? Doesn't include Bush. Apparently, he's too busy riding his bike and chopping wood, down in Crawford, to flog it back to the Capitol. Nice guy, huh?

Maybe it was that little quote of Ford's that was released about the Iraqi war?? Probably hurt Bushies feelings

Well, thats a two part question. If you mean as in 'lame duck president', not very. Remember that this is the fellow who acted as if he had a strong mandate when he barely achieved a numerical majority. He had the right to govern, but not as he did -- and if the Republicans take back the Senate, I suspect we'll see that attitude resurface. But if you mean 'how lame is this guy', then I'd say 'quite lame'. I cringe when he speaks.
