If George Bush is so simple-minded, how is he getting away with it?

The final question is just how large the disparity between the very rich and the poor can be before someone picks up a pitchfork and walks toward Washington. Let us hope that this is figurative and that it will be done at the ballot box.

The evil movement that calls itself conservative makes war on the poor. I'm glad someone's talking about it.
