President Bush has had what some might consider a bad month. But to look closer at the subject you can see just the opposite.
Starting with the port story. This is a story that frist ran in British papers in October of 2005 and the next day was picked up the WSJ. As the Democrats run around saying "secret deal" it is obvious that it was not. The article clearly discussed Dubai's search fro financing for the deal and their intention to take over the British companied holdings. Again the Democrats have made a mountain out of a mole hill.
The Cheney Story. The Demodrats tried to runit into the ground, but when no traction could be found they left it to become one of the little interesting side bars of history.
Wire Tapping Story. Now that we have the Port story they have abandoned the wire tap story for fresher blood, prving that it was nothing more than a political stunt to tryto drive the President out of office.
Tax cut extensions. This story was heralded as the big mean Rebublicans killing social programs and cost our children their college moneys and old people their medicine. Again, a reduction of increase is not a cut, It is in fact an increase. This fact now permeates the landscape.
The U.S. won it's first ever medal in Curling, a sport that is as interesting as watch paint dry, but a win is a win.
The traffic lights on the 101 became a revenue maker for Scottsdale, dening us the right to meet our accuser in court. This will be a fight that shold turn interesting once enough white people get tickets and can then claim racial profilling.
Our fine Governor still has not signed an education bill that continues to cost us millions per week. She must be hoping that the surplus covers her inability to work with congress. Remember this on voting day.
And the surplus, it still sits there waiting to be returned or burned, less the fines we pay to the Feds for not passing the appropriate education bill. Remember this on voting day.
I have been accused of being at least three different writers this month. I guess that means they are as as bad as I am or I am in good company.
AZ Moderate has proven that he is writing machine and we all look forward to more of his interesting articles in the future.
On a more personal review of the month, I married the best woman in the world, went to Jamaica, inherited a beautiful second daughter and still have not hit the lottery. My life is one of contentment and happiness. Must be why I see the good in the world and not just the bad.
All and all, not a bad month at all.
Almost forgot, we celebrated Black history month. Maybe with the loss of Mrs. King the Black community will open their eyes to the liars who now lay claim to leadership of MLK's dream. I look forward to White history month, Latino history month, Asian history month and all the others (up to 11 more) so we can truely feel inclusive.

As one of a minority that share many of your views, I thank you for your candor and commitment to fact in lieu of passionate rhetoric. Thanks for continuing to educate and to sometimes agitate those who choose newsprint over history books and gut feeling over fact. And finally, thanks for the personal insight. We seem to get wrapped up in political ideals around here and forget that we are all just people trying to live our lives and maybe, just maybe, make a difference.
Sincerely,
Bryan
