Apparently this is still newsworthy

Says the Missoula Independent, “Western Montana’s weekly journal of people, politics and culture”:

If it’s acceptable for the president and his cabinet to lie on a regular basis, why should CEOs, government officials, or citizens feel any compunction against doing likewise? In the end, as the bright light of truth is abandoned and our country’s credibility collapses around us, we will be left like rats, skittering through the twilight of our once-great nation.

Hopefully not.  2004 is shaping as a monumental chance to throw both Bush and Howard from power and restore some kind of decency to our once proud nations, and the expanding realms in which their influences are felt.
