Thanks to Memere’s email delivery service…. with a couple of slight corrections… The George W Bush Presidential Museum is now in the planning stages.

The Museum will include: The Hurricane Katrina Room, which is still under construction. The Alberto Gonzales Room, where you can’t remember anything. The Texas Air National Guard…

Republican senator John Warner of Virginia has announced that he is retiring and won’t seek re-election. I wonder if that has anything to do with his recent comments about Iraq. Here’s him trying to clarify/backtrack/whatever – maybe that wasn’t good enough. White House Spokesman Tony Snow is resigning in September – “I feel terrific. It’s not a health matter.

President Bush won’t fire his long-time friend U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales… he has too much to lose. He’s used to being able to say – “Here’s how I want it to be – you figure out the legal stuff.” On Monday President Bush once again expressed his support: “I stand by Al Gonzales.” He accused Senators involved in the push for a no-confidence vote against Gonzales as engaging in “pure political theater,” despite the fact that many Republicans as…

Bush declares himself absolute ruler: It’s ‘my government’ August 8, 2006 6:28 AM Once again, President George W.
