I’m sure a lot of readers are pretty sick of this Iran stuff on this blog. It’s called “Peoria Pundit,” after all, not Tehran Pundit.
Well, here’s some more. Look at it. There will be a quiz later.
I found it on Andrew Sullivan’s site. This is what he says about it:

Politics: George Bush is priceless … away from the pesky media
This is the Los Angeles Times take on Bush’s visit to Peoria:
For the first time in 14 years, George W. Bush’s name is not on the ballot. Not in Texas. Not anywhere in the United States.
And, given President Bush’ low approval ratings, Republican John McCain might be forgiven if he hopes the president will...

Media: Another childhood fantasy shot to hell
CUTLINE: President Bush hugs a person dressed as the Easter bunny at the start of the annual Easter Egg Roll, Monday, March 24, 2008, overlooking the South Lawn of the White House in Washington.
You mean there’s no such thing as the Easter Bunny? Damn you , Reuters! Damn you for spoiling my childhood. I...

Politics: George Bush is a megalomaniac?
This post written by Bill Dennis on Peoria Pundit.
That’s the impression I’m supposed to be getting, I think, from this column by Georgie Anne Geyer:
The White House sees terrorists as born, not created by history, bearing the mark of Cain, not the mark of circumstance. There is a scarlet “T” written on their...

Are 32,000 veterans being punished because LaHood told Bush what he didn’t want to hear?
This troubles me:
While there’s no doubt the Bob Michel Department of Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic, 411 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, is in need of a new home, some have concerns that the new facility may no longer be located in the heart of Downtown Peoria, near public transportation and close to those who...

Meet a swing voter …me
According to Political Wire, people like me are the new swing voters:
A new Cato Institute report says libertarians — people who historically tend to agree with Republicans on fiscal issues and Democrats on personal freedom — are the new swing voters. The authors estimate approximately 13% of voters fall into this category.

Specter skeptical, impeachment possible
Add Sen. Arlen Specter to the list of Republicans skeptical of President Bush’s dometic spying program. This is big news because Specter is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, whch will be investigating the matter:
A number of members of Specter’s committee, including GOP Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas, have expressed doubt about the administration’s...

Bush hates the Cubs
President Bush came to Chicago to raise money for the GOP. Considering that Illinois is a blue state, I don’t know how much good it’s going to do any Republican candidate who gets too close to the guy. And you would have thought the advisers who tell him what to say would have warned...

Can you hear me now?
By the way, Bush apologists: “Prickly City” is a conservative, Republican-leaning strip. The president’s policy of listening in on American’s phone conversations without securing a warrant is hurting him among all but his most ardent supporters. As well it should.
But don’t worry. He’s turned the Justice Department loose on the person or persons...

Bush is destroying the Constitution to protect America
I remember September 11, 2001. I sat in front of the television that evening and saw the President of the United States, a man for whom I did not vote, look into the camera and tell us he was going to do everything within the law to protect us. He also told us that...

The best legislation money can buy
Not a fan of the No Child Left Behind law, which allows the feds to cut off funds to schools that just might need help the most? You’ve just got some ammunition to argue it should be repealed:
The administration of President George W. Bush broke the law as it resorted to illegal “covert propaganda”...

‘Taking resposibility’ means taking the blame
One of the knocks against President Clinton was that he didn’t fire Attorney General Janet Reno after she took responsibility after a tank attack on the Branch Davidian compound n Waco ended in flames and mass death.
I know wonder what those same conservative critics think should happen to President Bush now that he...

Remembering Sept. 11, 2001
I didn’t really have a blog on Sept. 11, 2001.
I had discovered HTML and Web pages about a year or two earlier, and had thrown up some static pages.
So I don’t have any blog entries to share. But I did create this static page on Tripod, which is still up, even though I long...

Bush coming to Illinois bearing gifts and burdens for taxpayers
The president will take a break from his vacation and visit Aurora, where he will sign the federal transportation bill. He’ll sign the thing at a Caterpillar factory. The company thinks it’s going to make a bundle from all the equipment contractors are going to buy.
Most of the big Illinois projects seem worthy. Although...

Hitler, Germany and George W. Bush
Ten years ago, I sat in a newsroom reading a wire story in which someone of the liberal persuasion called someone of the conservative persuasion a “fascist.” Twenty years ago, I professor I respect used the term ‘fascist” to refer to science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein as a “fascist.” I grew up a...
