"Bush Insults Hosts, calling Australia 'Austria' He continued his blunders by then confusing the organisations of APEC and OPEC. As the audience laughed at him, Bush attempted to cover up by claiming: "He invited me to the OPEC summit next year."" "Last night, President Bush issued a statement wishing “greetings” to those “celebrating Rosh Hashanah." Unfortunately for the White House, Rosh Hashanah does not start until next week — sunset on Sept. 12" Now I'm not saying he's a complete idiot.... but how do you take someone seriously that makes these types of errors very often?

Restore Habeas Corpus

The Senate made a terrible mistake last October, and allowed President Bush to damage one of the oldest founding principles of our democracy. They gave the President the authority to seize people and hold them without ever explaining why -- despite the fact that the Constitution itself says he should not have that power. Now some members of the Senate have recognized how big a deal this is, and they're trying to set it right. This week, the Senate will hold its first up-or-down vote on restoring habeas corpus. Tell your Senators to support the Specter-Leahy amendment to the Defense Authorization bill. http://act.truemajority.org/o/1/t/3/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1183 The amendment offered by Senators Leahy and Specter to the Defense Authorization bill would restore habeas corpus. Without habeas corpus, it's a very slippery slope towards dictatorship. So urge your Senators to vote yes on the Leahy-Specter habeas amendment. Join with me and TrueMajority.org to pressure the Senate to do the right thing and restore this fundamental right. http://act.truemajority.org/o/1/t/3/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1183
