Here Are 99 (Referenced & Easy To Read) Failures Of The Bush Administration Published Today
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x334669

Well, 104 technically speaking. At any rate, this is required viewing before tonight's SOTU and in general. Most of us are aware of some or even many of these things, but not ALL of them. I mean, so many things have happened since 2000 that's it's easy to forget!

And when you debate and argue with conservatives or relatively uninformed/misinformed moderates (who may think we go too far with disliking this administration simply out of bias/partisan reasons) this is an amazing resource to have so that you can whip out short nuggets of devastating information *with the source* right next to it.

Enjoy and pass it on!

4. It's hard to say which is the worst thing on the list
I was hoping more of a discussion would be sparked and people would compare the worst items and or say "Oh yeah, I forgot about that one...!"

There are so many interesting items on the list I was totally unaware of. For example, while I was aware of the tainted toys and the incredible story of the Aquadots in particular, I didn't know *this* problem from the "Kids Problems" section:

"Problem: Kids Playing with Poisoned Toys
Last year, in the wake of date-rape-drug-filled AquaDots and Elmo dolls laced with lead, the White House-appointee head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Nancy Nord, sided with manufacturers and fought against measures in the Senate that would require the toy industry to tell consumers which toys were under investigation or to increase penalties against companies that knowingly violated toy safety laws."
