A Bad Day for President Bush

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Yesterday wasn't such a great day for President Bush. I took a screenshot of the CNN front page some time last night, and as you can see (click to enlarge), the titles of three of the links aren't particular good news for the president: U.S. to pay $2M, apologize for false ...

Five Miles and Some College Football
