Why Cement Bad People In Photos?

That's a great question to ask myself. Mostly because it forces me to think on an issue that I consider a non-issue. Let's back up. Why Cement Bad People in Photos? I posed the inquiry because my internet home page is http://www.NYTimes.com. Earlier this afternoon, the site sported a centered photograph of President Bush(ido) in a blank-faced pose as he spouted off about why those who oppose him are fear-mongering. I happen to agree with a policy embued with a healthy dose of amnesty. I do not appreciate Mr. Bush(ido) appropriating a term (in a negative sense) that basically embodies what his administration has meant for the country.

How can he wear a straight face while criticizing others for fear-mongering? He's got the gall of a man who is accountable to no one. We elected him, on whatever pretences (although I, myself, am self-righteously excluded from that group of 'we electedites), and so must deal with the stomach-churning consequences.

The issue that got Mr. Bush(ido)'s panties in a wad concerned immigration policy. Look up his initiative. Think about Mr. B's past comments on the subject. Discuss. We'll talk irony in the morning.
