TIMELINE OF TERROR
MahaChronicles A timeline of Terror. ..apparently from 1997 through August and September 2002. Many reference links here. Not sure of who puts this together, but you may find it the starting point for some serious consideration of the failures of the Bushsub2 administration.

LOTT STORY HITS MAJOR NEWS CHANNELS BECAUSE OF BLOGGERS
Bloggers and LottTHE INTERNET'S FIRST SCALP By JOHN PODHORETZ (much sniped here)An enterprising leftist blogger named Atrios (atrios.blogspot.com) spent the weekend digging up interesting tidbits about Trent Lott's home state of Mississippi and its record on the matter of segregation. That included the official 1948 Mississippi Democratic Party sample ballot, which asked residents of the state to vote not for Democratic nominee Harry Truman but rather for Strom Thurmond. A vote for Truman, the sample ballot reads, "means . . . anti-lynching and anti-segregation proposals will become the law of the land and our way of life in the South will be gone forever."

By Monday morning, the blogosphere had gone ballistic. Most impressive was the fact that conservatives didn't circle the wagons, claiming that Lott was being mistreated and he'd already apologized and Bill Clinton did worse. Rather, they turned their wagons outward and commenced firing at Lott. (more sniped here)

"Dry Drunk" Syndrome and.... George W. Bush by Katherine van Wormer in Counter Punch. Katherine van Wormer is a Professor of Social Work at the University of Northern Iowa Co-author of Addiction Treatment: A Strengths Perspective (2002). She can be reached at: Katherine.VanWormer@uni.edu Read the whole article. She concludes with:

"To summarize, George W. Bush manifests all the classic patterns of what alcoholics in recovery call "the dry drunk." His behavior is consistent with barely noticeable but meaningful brain damage brought on by years of heavy drinking and possible cocaine use. All the classic patterns of addictive thinking that are spelled out in my book are here:

the tendency to go to extremes (leading America into a massive 100 billion dollar strike-first war);

a "kill or be killed mentality;" the tunnel vision;
"I" as opposed to "we" thinking;
the black and white polarized thought processes (good versus evil, all or nothing thinking).
His drive to finish his father's battles is of no small significance, psychologically. "
