I don’t fucking believe it.

More in U.S. Say Bush Did All Possible to Stop Sept. 11 Attacks

After Richard Clarke’s forthrightness, and the administration’s spin, evasions, personal attacks on Clarke, and outright lies, MORE people think Bush did the right thing? I think the whole damn country has gone stupid.

Oh yeah, he did all he could. After all, he ignored the warnings of his counter-terrorism advisor, put together a panel that never met, appointed a cold war expert on the Soviet Union as his National Security Advisor instead of somebody who understood the current threats, and concentrated on settling old scores in Iraq to the exclusion of all other foreign policy.

And 43 percent of the nation is buying this line.

Ok, action taken, nobody killed.

In Rants and Revelations: Remind me again why I do this? I ranted about the abuse I get because I ask people to not send HTML email to my mailing lists. The usual rejoinder, after they finish being rude or calling me unprofessional or a luddite is to say “Where does it say I can’t send HTML?” So as of right now, it says it on the list info pages. Check out the LUGOR newbie SIG page for an example.

Note that I word it as a request, not a demand, and I even link to a page that shows you how to configure a bazillion mail clients to not send HTML mail. Damn, I’m too nice.
