Liberals were right on Iraq, balanced budgets, environment, energy regulation, clean fuels, diplomacy, how to fight wars, ethics in congress, bipartisanship, honesty in government, you name it. I can't think of a single thing Bush turned out to be be right about. Can you think of one? Go back to his 2000 campaign promises and find a single one which was either honest or right. You can't. None of them were.

Burger King recalls 'sacrilegious' desserts JOHN INNES THE fast-food chain, Burger King, is withdrawing its ice-cream cones after the lid of the dessert offended a Muslim. The man claimed the design resembled the Arabic inscription for Allah, and branded it sacrilegious, threatening a "jihad". The chain is being forced to spend thousands of pounds redesigning the lid with backing from The Muslim Council of Britain. It apologised and said: "The design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone." The offending lid was spotted in a branch in Park Royal last week by business development manager Rashad Akhtar, 27, of High Wycombe. He was not satisfied by the decision to withdraw the cones and has called on Muslims to boycott Burger King. He said: "This is my jihad. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? If you spin it one way to the right you are offending Muslims." A Muslim Council spokesman said: "We commend the sensitive and prompt action that Burger King has taken." news.scotsman.com littlegreenfootballs.com
