How many arms does a man need?

… gun ownership in the United States remains strong compared to the rest of the world and the debate over gun rights protection versus gun control has grown more divisive than ever before.

‘Bushism’ from the ‘misunderestimated’ president

I think, never in the history, the president of the USA had such a legacy like that of George W. Bush. The “Bushism” has become a phenomenon in the media. I found some of them on BBC News. But I quote here only my favourites.

“Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN’s aren’t able to practice their love with women all across the country.”
Poplar Bluff, Missouri, 6 September, 2004

“Those who enter the country illegally violate the law.”
Tucson, Arizona, 28 November, 2005

“And truth of the matter is, a lot of reports in Washington are never read by anybody. To show you how important this one is, I read it, and [Tony Blair] read it.”
On the publication of the Baker-Hamilton Report, Washington DC, 7 December, 2006

I believe the intelligence report on Iraq was one of those “a lot of reports in Washington”. The world would have been different, if “anybody” had read it, too.
