"Behold, the Bush Administration in chart form: Federal spending on paper shredding has increased more than 600 percent since George W. Bush took office. This chart, generated by usaspending.gov, the U.S. government's brand spanking new database of federal expenditures, shows spending on "contracts for paper shredding services" going back to 2000. Click here for the full, heartbreaking breakdown. In 2000, the feds spent $452,807 to make unpleasant truths go away; by 2006, the "Cheney Effect" had bumped that number up to $2.9 million. And by halfway through 2007, the feds almost matched that number, with $2.7 million and counting. Pretty much says it all."

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

just keep counting the days til the next election.
Do about what? you mean impeachment?
This isn't an impeachment thread. I would have titled somewhere along those lines if it was. If shredding paper was an impeachable offense every president thus far would probably have been be impeached.
It's more of things that make you go hmm thread.

I'm not a Bush fan, but this really is too insignificant to speculate on in my humble opinion.
Cheers,

No lets not speculate on the insignificance of what is being shredded.
yes ... living our lives is much easier that way ... speculate too much and i might actually see something i don't want ... best to stay in the dark ...
My personal opinion, however, says you may have a point. But it's just an opinion.
