1. Very appropriate to read today! I liked

it all, but this. . .

"Bush concluded his speech on a note of healing and redemption."

"We as a people must stand united, banding together to tear this nation in two," Bush said. "Much work lies ahead of us: The gap between the rich and the poor may be wide, be there's much more widening left to do. We must squander our nation's hard-won budget surplus on tax breaks for the wealthiest 15 percent. And, on the foreign front, we must find an enemy and defeat it."

was a great re-cap and I particularly liked the phrase "banding together to tear this nation in two."

Thanks, John!

2. Chilling. That's from January 2001

and it has this:

During the 40-minute speech, Bush also promised to bring an end to the severe war drought that plagued the nation under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years.
