[Bluebear]

Fasten your seat belts. In other words, if it ain't Halliburton, you're screwed. Remember, part of the budget includes $1.5 BILLION for a new embassy in Baghdad.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush will call for a near-freeze in the overall growth of government spending not connected to national defense to try to rein in record deficits, a senior administration official said on Tuesday.

Bush will make the proposal in Wednesday's State of the Union address, previewing the fiscal 2006 budget he will send to Congress next Monday...

The senior administration official left open the possibility the cap would be less than 0.8 percent, saying Bush "believes we can even go further" in restraining spending growth.

Having pushed through sweeping tax cuts in Bush's first term as president, "it's now time also to focus on the priority of fiscal discipline," the official added.

15. His face looks like crap

WHAT is wrong with his face? I have noticed that he keeps getting these sores on his face. In 2000 he had them on his forehead. Do you think he has some sort of Herpes? That is what it looks like to me. When I was working in the adolescent substance abuse center, we used to see this a lot.
