That sounds really official, doesn't it? I hope you didn't get your hopes up too high. ;) Between the two of us, we managed to get the vegetable garden planted after getting home from the lake early ...

Grateful for My Family Bush
November is one of my favorite times to be on Facebook. All throughout the month, people post their "thankfuls" each day. Because I like to be slightly rebellious about some times (while being a joine...

Terror tactics spur probe
The Obama administration launched a criminal investigation Monday into harsh questioning of detainees during President George W. Bush’s war on terrorism, revealing CIA interrogators’ threats to kill one suspect’s children and to force another to watch his mother sexually assaulted. At the same time, President Barack Obama ordered changes in future interrogations, bringing in other agencies besides the CIA under the direction of the FBI and supervised by his own national security adviser.By By Devlin Barrett and Pamela Hess, The Associated Press , August 25, 2009
Mr. President, are we still torturing?
On Dec. 26, 2002, Dana Priest and Barton Gellman broke, in the Washington Post, the first undeniable story of American torturing of suspected terrorists. In a CIA secret prison at our Bagram air base detention center in Afghanistan, prisoners were being subjected to the by now all-too-familiar ways of “breaking” suspects during the Bush-Cheney “terror presidency.”By Nat Henthoff, First Amendment , July 22, 2009
Feinstein: CIA concealment broke law
Six months into Barack Obama’s presidency, his Democratic allies are pushing for twin investigations into Bush-era torture and anti-terrorism policies. Two senators including the head of the intelligence committee suggested Sunday that the prior administration broke the law by concealing a CIA counterterrorism program from Congress.By By Pete Yost, The Associated Press , July 13, 2009
Report says Bush surveillance program was massive
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration built an unprecedented surveillance operation to pull in mountains of information far beyond the warrantless wiretapping previously acknowledged, a team of federal inspectors general reported Friday, questioning the legal basis for the effort but shielding almost all details on grounds they’re still too secret to reveal.By By Pamela Hess, The Associated Press , July 11, 2009
Defender Wilson receives Vision Award
The Bush Foundation announced on June 15 the 2009 recipients of its Enduring Vision Awards, focused on propelling the artistic investigations of mature artists. Kevin Locke (South Dakota), Michael Sommers (Minnesota) and Mary Louise Defender Wilson (North Dakota) each will receive $100,000 over the next three to five years to encourage their continued influence on present and future generations of artists, audiences and their chosen field of work.June 18, 2009
Unquestioned authority
A criticism heard during the early years of the Bush administration was that the media were “in the tank” for Bush, fearing to question his foreign and domestic policies in the aftermath of 9/11 because of his then-high approval numbers and concern that they would be labeled unpatriotic.By Cal Thomas, Tribune Media Services , June 12, 2009
Bush, Obama waltz with states’ sovereignty
In the waning days of the 2009 session, the North Dakota Legislature passed House Concurrent Resolution 3063 proclaiming state sovereignty and demanding that “the federal government halt its practice of assuming powers and imposing mandates on the states for purposes not enumerated in the Constitution of the United States.”By Lloyd Omdahl, Columnist , June 01, 2009
Obama, meet President Reagan
President Obama is strongly disinclined to support an independent investigation of possible criminal violations of U.S. laws and international treaties by the highest levels of the Bush-Cheney administration. He also has no personal interest in going after those Justice Department lawyers who, in 2002 and later, declared “enhanced interrogation techniques” lawful. Says Obama: “Nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past.”By Nat Henthoff, First Amendment , May 27, 2009
Letter to the editor: Don’t forget Republicans’ actions under Bush
So many people, mostly Republicans, are concerned about an Obama deficit. They have forgotten some recent financial history of this country. Now let’s rewind to the beginning of the Bush administration. The time: January 2001. The U.S. had an operating surplus of a few hundred million. That is a surplus left after paying the current cost of government operations.By Ernest Hubacker , April 10, 2009
They were only following orders
It’s unlikely that the United States will ever live down the shame of torture during the Bush-Cheney administration. It’s history now, and all the piety and wit of those former U.S. officials responsible for this horrendous chapter cannot wipe out a word of it.By Helen Thomas , March 26, 2009
Bush, top aides are apparently home free
Can Americans face the truth about the Bush administration’s abuse of power? I believe so, but clearly President Barack Obama and some Democratic lawmakers think they can’t. Or possibly they don’t want to be bogged down in a search that could be viewed as vindictive against the former regime. Too bad.By Helen Thomas , March 12, 2009
Court turns down Fargo man’s appeal
A federal appeals court has upheld the conviction of a man accused of telling a fellow inmate he wanted to kill former President George W. Bush.By By Dave Kolpack, The Associated Press , February 26, 2009
Like Bush, Obama disables our privacy
After testimony by our new Attorney General, Eric Holder, on Jan. 14 before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I have regained my skepticism about how much of our Constitution President Barack Obama intends to restore — for one example, our privacy rights under the Fourth Amendment. Holder declared that the Obama administration will defend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments of 2008 immunizing and protecting America’s telecommunications companies from many lawsuits about their involvement with the Bush administration’s mass surveillance of Americans’ telephone and Internet communications.By Nat Hentoff , January 28, 2009
Gone but not forgotten
George W. Bush admits to some “disappointments” during his eight White House years, but he hesitates to call them “mistakes.” At his last news conference as president, Bush cited Abu Ghraib — the notorious Iraq prison where U.S. soldiers abused and tortured prisoners — as a “huge disappointment,” even though he had approved of harsh interrogation techniques.By Helen Thomas , January 22, 2009
Bush’s lessons for Obama
OK, how many of you are going to miss the George W. Bush years? Can I see a show of hands? There is little question that President Bush became an extremely valuable, if involuntary asset to Barack Obama’s long march to the White House. I think Bill Maher was the first comedian I heard joke that President Bush messed up the country so badly that the voters felt they had to send in a black man to clean it up.By Clarence Page , January 20, 2009
