Question of the Day: Why is it the more we talk with you the more we miss being with you?

Tom Engelhardt writes about what will be the real Bush legacy, torture and a trampling of the Constitution. We are all guilty of the Bush Administration crimes because we did not rise up and stop it. It will take years, if not decades, to undo the damage to America's image. If we don't hold these criminals accountable, we are truly lost as a country. Shame on us.

The US economy is in a slowdown and heading in the direction of a full-blown recession, according to Labor Department figures. The only growth areas in employment - and these were modest - were health care and food service. The cost of oil even reached $100 a barrel. However, this won't affect Americans, says President Bush, because they buy their oil in small cans. (Stolen from Jay Leno, the WGA scab.)
