"We recently found two mobile biological weapons facilities which were capable of producing biological agents." - George W. Bush, fibbing on 6/5/2003

Sometimes it seems that it would be far simpler to catalog the truths that the Bush Administration has told about Iraq;  nonetheless, Congressman Henry Waxman of California (one of my faves) has compiled Iraq On The Record, a useful list of "misleading statements" (i.e., lies) told by the Bushies in their quest to prove their collective manhoods.

A fantastic new Bush parody song, to the tune of "I am the Walrus".

The Decider-in-Chief is now claiming government responsibility for inventing the iPod:

"the government funded research in microdrive storage, electrochemistry and signal compression. They did so for one reason: It turned out that those were the key ingredients for the development of the iPod."

Thanks to Engadget for bringing this to my attention. 

After the Constitutional Convention, A lady asked of Ben Franklin:

"Well Doctor what have we got - a republic or a monarchy?"

Senator Russell Feingold has introduced a resolution to censure our president for violating the law. The violated law in question, as we all know, is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).  Harry Truman said that "The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know".  Bearing this in mind, what does history tell us about our presidents violation of FISA?  Is it a trifling to be ignored?  A molehill that Feingold is trying to turn into a mountain?  Or is it a dangerous new milestone in the path toward the end of the Republic?
