He signed the law allowing off duty police officers to carry their weapons all across the US. Like an officer from Texas can carry in New York, etc...

Yes, hooray for scrapping scientifically useful missions in favour of impressive-sounding but underfunded manned Lunar and Mars missions, not to mention murdering the HST. Thank you, president Bush! But I'm sure he scared off the space terrorists with his talks about building bases on the moon, or whatever.

I heard the Africa thing is the biggest too -- supposedly the most donated to Africa of any President.

I'm not sure if they factored in inflation. Anyway, money to warlords bites donkey balls, so it might not have had the effect intended.

Just think: if it wasn't for 9/11 the USA could've gone into Zimbabwe and Sudan.

And letting you bring your gun from Texas to my state when you're off duty, assuming that I trust you as far as I can throw you, belongs in this thread how exactly...?
