Bush on Pat Robertson: FUCK OFF AND DIE, FATTIE!
That's right, Dubya is not a fan of Pat Robertson these days.
"Robertson, in an interview with CNN that aired Tuesday night, said God had told him the war would be messy and a disaster. When he met with Bush in Nashville, Tenn., before the war Bush did not listen to his advice, Robertson said, and believed Saddam Hussein was an evil tyrant who needed to be removed.
"He was just sitting there, like, 'I'm on top of the world,' and I warned him about this war," Robertson said.
"I had deep misgivings about this war, deep misgivings. And I was trying to say, 'Mr. President, you better prepare the American people for casualties.' 'Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties.' 'Well,' I said, 'it's the way it's going to be.' And so, it was messy. The Lord told me it was going to be, A, a disaster and, B, messy."

Don't go to school
Proving how much Dubya wants you to go to school, this piece from the New York Times elaborates on his damage to higher education.
"Tuition at the nation's public universities rose an average of 10.5 percent this year, the second-largest increase in more than a decade, according to the annual survey released today by the College Board. Last year's rise, 13 percent, was the highest.
Private universities and community colleges also increased tuition -- by 6 percent and 9 percent respectively, in a year when inflation has been hovering at about 2.5 percent. The tuition increases at private and community colleges were also among the steepest in a decade."
Draft rumors continue
Proving that a good October surprise won't die, draft rumors continue to circulate.

Condi Rice: protecting us from democrats the nation over
From the Kerry Camp
1) ALL OF RICE'S VISITS ARE TO SWING STATES
After this week, Rice will have given nine political speeches in two months - ALL in battleground states.
2) RICE DID NOT VISIT SWING STATES PRIOR TO THIS YEAR
In previous years, Condi Rice delivered her "outside-the-beltway" speeches in major metropolitan areas like Chicago and New York or understandable locations like her home state of California or Bush's home state of Texas. Recently, her travels have taken her to Oregon, Washington, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
3) RICE RARELY LEFT DC BEFORE THIS YEAR
In September and October of 2001, 2002, and 2003, Rice gave two or fewer speeches outside Washington.
4) RICE'S POLITICAL ACTIVITY IS UNPRECEDENTED
In the past, National Security Advisers have not given more than a couple speeches during presidential election season, and none have traveled into the field to make their boss's case as Condi has done.
