Viva El Presidente

You'd think that I, as a liberal and a Bush-disliker, would have known about this. It turns out that there is some sort of legal loophole that allows the president to sign a bill into law while at the same time signing another statement affirming that the law doesn't apply to him. Bush has done this 750 times, far more than any other president. Is anyone surprised?

I thought we used to try to export democracy to banana republics. Now it appears we're importing their fascism while putting armed guards on our borders to keep the people out.

What a bunch of dopes we have running our country, and it starts at the top.
