Human Darkness

I suspect the reason why Cheney chose to "break his silence" on Fox news is because Fox, of the major cable networks, is most sympathetic to the White House's politics. A calculated decision, knowing the anchors would be easier on him than Anderson Cooper would be, for example.

For the first time I heard the word "arrogance" associated with the Bush presidency today, and it really struck a chord. I think it's an apt description of Bush's regard (or lack thereof) for the average American. Katrina was the last straw for me; it demonstrated that Bush does not care about poor citizens; they are not even on the radar screen for him.

I honestly don't know why he ran for president; it does not seem to mean much for him--maybe just another opportunity to appoint friends to high places, like an extension of frat life.

Shame on him! He is ignoring what it means to be American. I daresay he is not an example of what it means to be American; he epitomizes what happens when "The American Dream" is turned on its head: elitism, nepotism, weakness, corruption, greed, indifference, arrogance.
