Junior Birdman's Exciting New Vision of the Future
Quick, how many here guessed from the headline it was the same dreary crap about tax cuts for the rich and privatizing Social Security?

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Bush, hoping to build on recent momentum in the White House race, delivers the biggest speech of his campaign on Thursday in the city where the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks transformed his presidency.
It will include new domestic policy proposals, aides said, including possibly a renewed call for broad tax reform or to add private accounts to the Social Security retirement program. Bush also will spell out ideas in health care and plans to promote a new "ownership society." "

a new "ownership society"....which will actually amount to a "Halliburton repos it when you miss a payment" society
