Junior seems to be under the impression that the closer he can get the doomsday clock to midnight the higher his ratings will be. We can only pray that something happens to change his thinking on this. Dwight D Esienhower made perhaps the greatest contribution to world peace in the past 100 years by keeping Douglas MacArthur from becoming president. Al Gore may have done more than even Dwight did only to have it stolen away from him.

Interesting informtion at Bush watch. Baldur pointed the site out to me. I wrote to Baldur: (Good Site. I didn't see the article about W and the pretzel but at least I found reference to his drug use. bushwatch.net ) boston.com Still, the puzzling gap in Bush's military service is likely to heighten speculation about the conspicuous underachievement that marked the period between his 1968 graduation from Yale University and his 1973 entry into Harvard Business School. It is speculation that Bush has helped to fuel: For example, he refused for months last year to say whether he had ever used illegal drugs. Subsequently, however, Bush amended his stance, saying that he had not done so since 1974. AND "The ease of Bush's entry into the Air Guard was widely reported last year. At a time when such billets were coveted and his father was a Houston congressman, Bush vaulted to the top of a waiting list of 500. Bush and his father have denied that he received any preferential treatment. But last year, Ben Barnes, who was speaker of the Texas House in 1968, said in a sworn deposition in a civil lawsuit that he called Guard officials seeking a Guard slot for Bush after a friend of Bush's father asked him to do so." Above are excerpts from the article, "One-year gap in Bush's National Guard duty " No record of airman at drills from 1972-73 By Walter V. Robinson, Globe Staff, 5/23/2000 boston.com
