"If Congress increases VA funding above the President's request and does not offset this increase with spending reductions in other bills, the President will veto any of the other bills that exceed his request until Congress demonstrates a path to reach the President's topline of $933 billion." This is Bush politics at its dirtiest!

A radio station in Chicago played The White Stripes new album without their permission. The copy of the album that was played on the radio was a bootleg version and now a version they received from the White Stripes or their record label. Lead singer, Jack White, personally called up the radio station and ripped on the studio and the DJ.

In the past year, lawyers for President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney directed the Secret Service to maintain the confidentiality of visitor logs, declaring them to be presidential records. The decision made the logs exempt from a law requiring their disclosure to whoever asks to see them.

It's worth noting that President Bush's threat to veto a 3.5 percent pay raise for U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan came just two days before Armed Forces Day (May 19), the "single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country."

It doesn't much matter whether President Bush was the one who phoned Attorney General Ashcroft's hospital room in 2004. It matters however, whether the president was willing to have his aides try to strong-arm him into overruling the DOJ's legal views. It matters whether the president, once that failed, was willing to proceed with a program.
