Political test

Who do you think said this?

"Imagine a world in which Saddam Hussein was there, stirring up even more trouble in a part of the world that had so much resentment and so much hatred that people came and killed 3,000 of our citizens."

--George W. Bush, yesterday!!!!!!!!!

Hey, more than three years after we invaded on the false grounds of chem/bio/nuculer weapons, it's good that our fucking PRESIDENT is still lying about ties between 9/11 and Iraq.

At least we live in a country that would elect an avowed atheist to public office, allow a woman to decide what's right for her own body without moral judgement from the State, the right to love and marry whomever we want, freedom from state-sanctioned execution, the maturity not to rename French Fries, trusts its people enough not to listen to their phone calls, read their e-mails or monitor their banking transactions.

... OK, this part isn't a test, just a frightening-the-soul kind of thing:

For context, Alabama's per capita income was $18,189, according to the last census.

Thx (i think) to Al's Morning Meeting on poynter for finding that.
