		<description>Seriously, his dyslexia makes reading difficult.  That is why he likes others to just tell him a short summary of what they have read.  Plus he doesn&#039;t like people who disagree with him.  Telling him that he&#039;s wrong will cost you your job.</description>

		<description>The detached idiot doesn&#039;t care.  Since when has this freak cared?  He has blatantly lied and stolen from us.  He doesn&#039;t care! Why should he?  The criminal loser Commander in Chief of the failed Iraq War never has cared!  As long as the rich keep getting richer he&#039;ll be in power.  This idiot deserves to be tried jailed and EXECUTED!  

He has decided not to play golf anymore?  Because of the Criminmal War?  He&#039;s afraid he might pop the bubble with a swing!  &quot;it&#039;s very comfortable in the bubble&quot; With all the lies and deaths of innocent people the bubble is about to pop!
Thanks to Bush so many INNOCENT people have died!  

I live to see the day this IDIOT is publicly humiliated and exposed for all his crimes.  All that followed by the most horrible of all deaths.  When it comes to lying, crime, having people killed, and bringing ruin to this great nation, Bush is and has been THE MOST EXTREME!</description>

		<description>Maybe Bush DOES pay attention to the media, and just doesn&#039;t give a damn what is going on with most of the country. His ultra-wealthy and neo-con base are happy, so that&#039;s all he cares about. He&#039;ll make a ton of money doing speeches after he leaves the White House.</description>

I don&#039;t know if this is an option anymore.  Paraguay just took a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.democracynow.org/2008/4/22/bishop_of_poor_fernando_lugo_wins&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;major turn to the left&lt;/a&gt;, and Bush may no longer be welcome.  Unless the jackals get to Fernando Lugo, of course.</description>

<p>I don&#8217;t know if this is an option anymore.  Paraguay just took a <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2008/4/22/bishop_of_poor_fernando_lugo_wins" rel="nofollow">major turn to the left</a>, and Bush may no longer be welcome.  Unless the jackals get to Fernando Lugo, of course.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=4959536', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Here&#039;s one stark example of how effing useless Bush, the GOP and their business-partners in crime have been: 

Whilst Washington argues about the practicality (or otherwise of) of a temporary gas tax rebate in response to the soaring price of oil and gasoline, the UK is starting to build a  wave-power generator in the Severn and a Welsh company is working on another one to be anchored a few miless of the coast. 

Another Welsh company &quot;has invested $24 million in a factory to produce a CO2 emissions-cutting engine component that can be retrofitted to commercial vans. The system saves both fuel and an estimated 25 percent of carbon emissions on diesel home-delivery vans&quot; (This gadget is up for a major engineering prize).

&quot;G24 Innovations makes silicon-free thin film solar cells to charge mobile phones, the company is planning to install a massive wind turbine in its parking lot later this year.
That will enable the factory to run on renewable energy and eventually sell electricity back to the grid _ making it one of the first factories in the world to use renewable energy to make a renewable product.&quot;

(This info nabbed from Raw Story/AP)

The Severn project has a lot of government funding, the others mentioned here are all private enterprises with some Welsh government funding. 

Jobs are being created and SOMETHING is ACTUALLY being done about renewable/sustainable energy production and efficiency of consumption. 

Meanwhile in the US... crickets chirp.</description>
