I didn't know GW was the least bit introspective. Nevertheless, the Guardian has a story discussing Bush's struggles in trying to come to terms with "his legacy." In the wake of Pete Domenici's defection, the Guardian says:

More defections are expected, and Mr Bush cuts a lonely figure, holed up in the White House fretting over his legacy.

My Views on his legacy appear after the jump...

What with the White House's issues with torture, war mongering, and the like, doesn't it seem funny that document retention should begin to hog the spot-light. While one case has begun to erupt, another simmers on a back burner...

The internet has often been referred to an an enabling technology. Here at daily kos, we have seen the power that internet based communities can bring to bear on such things as social problems, politics and even economics. But beware the new puritanism.

University of Houston Professor of Law Jordan Paust has written a brief missive for Jurist agreeing with the "growing chorus" supporting the firing Alberto Gonzalez. His column takes a welcomed, and slightly different tact from those of the MSM, however, by arguing that he should be fired not merely for lying about the the firing of U.S. attorneys, or the subsequent cover-up, but because Mr. Gonzalez is "reasonably accused" of responsibility for war crimes.

Because I took a class in International Criminal Law from Professor Paust, and because I greatly respect him, I was very glad to see him write this.

In the Science Fiction classic, A Mote in God's Eye, humans encounter their first alien civilization. The moties, while welcoming humans with open arms (all three of them), attempt to hide the secret of their past. This secret is so profoundly disturbing that once the humans discover it they become determined to either wipe out the moties, or keep them bottled up in their own system forever. I'll tell you what that secret is, shortly, and you'll see why the story below reminds me of the book.

One might think that protecting consumer rights would be a priority. After all, everyone is a consumer. But alas, it is not so...recent years have not been good ones for consumers.
Congress has pushed through legislation advocated or crafted by their Corporate masters, and the rights of consumers have been greatly weakened. Here's how to begin reversing the damage.

Prophets and pundits
are losing their souls
as the rites of the righteous right
lose their meaning.
The thunder in their voices
cracks;
lightning has struck.
The iron curtain is shredded--
tinfoil.
The German wall is chiseled away
brick by red brick.
As towers topple in the East,
victory is here,
and defeat is but a breath away.
Whom do we hate now?
Whom do we hate now?
Surely they must wonder,
cannot the situation be righted?
From 1988
