It's The Axis of Evil, All Right
File this item under "Well, duh!":
A majority of people in three countries with close ties to the U.S.—Britain, Canada and Mexico—consider President George W. Bush a threat to world peace, ranking the U.S. president right up there with the leaders of two countries he has labeled part of the "axis of evil"—North Korea's Kim Jong Il and Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Ottawa-based EKOS Research conducted the study. The International Herald Tribune has the story.

It's not that no one sees the straight line to Doomtown we've been on since Reagan, it's that there's big profits in it. The most superficially Christian and Other-Worldly-Yearning nation in the developed world is the one most likely to kill you for your shoes. -- Doghouse Riley
The true purpose of education is to try to foster in students a kind of critical cosmopolitanism, such that they learn, among other things, to question any notion that one’s nation or tribe is favored by God or destiny. -- Michael Bérubé
It is not enough to decry the existence of the Spectacle. We intend to use both art and theory as a battering ram against Capitalism and its false opposition, tribalism, in all of its mystical forms. We believe it is possible to move beyond the inexcusable savagery of everyday life. -- The Anti-Naturals

Bush is definitely part of the Axis Of Evil.
Once again I totally agree with Professor Shortell. Bush is definitely a threat to world peace. As far as I'm concerned Bush is part of the Axis Of Evil. Bush is an evil bastard and he's too dumb to realize how evil he is. I feel that anyone who still believes that this war in Iraq is for freedom better get their head examined immediately. We must all get out there and vote liberal on Tuesday! We've got to get those damn conservatives out of office before they try to take over the world and destroy it more than they already have.
Professor Shortell, I recommend the movie V For Vendetta to you.
Professor Shortell, I recommend the movie V For Vendetta to you. If you have not already seen it, I think you should check it out. I think you'll like it. Its about England under a right wing fascist government. The character V who is in a Guy Fawk's mask in the movie starts this big revolution to overthrow this right wing fascist goverment. Its a really good movie. I've seen it twice and I really enjoyed it.
It looks like the Republicans are losing. This is so great!
It looks the Republicans got their butts kicked today. Bush can take his agenda and put it you know where. Hopefully Bush won't be able to get what he wants now the Democrats are taking control again. I hope the Democrats fight for left wing causes. Lately they have been acting and thinking like the Republicans. I hope they don't do that. They need to fight for left wing causes and change this country for the better. I hope they can stop Bush, since he is a huge threat to world peace.
Better, but not Great
The House has swung big for the Dems but it looks like the Senate will be 51-49 or 50-50 for the Rethugs, so things won't change there. Still, symbolically, it is a loud and clear rejection of BushCo.
Well...
I may have blogged too soon. The Senate might end up 51-49 for the Dems. I expect a great deal of right-wing media frenzy about Virginia, but the numbers look like a very close victory for Webb. I think the Montana race will be a two or three percentage point victory for the Dems.
If that proves to be the case, it was a remarkable political victory for the Dems, and a resounding "No!" to the incompentence and extremism of the Torture Party.
The Bush Administration
The Bush Administration should have been put on the Axis of Evil. The lies they fed the world regarding Iraqi WMD's, Saddam's part in 9/11, and condoned torture techniques qualify them on this list. I am glad this administration is gone, and we have a President who will hold himself responsible for his policies.
