Picture of the Day
















Tell me, what are your true feelings towards Big Brother?'

'I hate him.'

'You hate him. Good. Then the time has come for you to take the last step. You must love Big Brother. It is not enough to obey him: you must love him.'

(1984 Part III - Chapter 4 from the incredibly useful Literature Network.)

(Picture - Bush speaking Thursday at the National Conference on Faith Based Intiatives.)

  • I dunno about 9-11 but he talked alot about Katrina.

    The headline out of this event is that he's seeking greater pre funding for religious aid groups so that they can better be able to cope with disasters. He's requesting 4 Billion to church groups.
