His nickname was "Kennyboy" afterall.......... Then the scandal came in from the northwest with a high chance of thunderstorms/showers, and Dubyah claimed "Past supporter".

Well here in Canada were dealing with a similar buisness scandal concerning newspaper tycoon, Conrad Black... As he's going through trial, he's of course having to sell of his newspaper companies, costing thousands of people their jobs as well. It's just a daily lesson that if you give some people an ounce of power, they'll go raving mad with it since to them, "the sky is the limit" :-\ |
