Bush resigns!!!
It's true, 'cos Yahoo said so! First it was The Associated Press who fucked up last week when a White House Official, Tim Goeglein, who - Wouldn't you know, acts as a middleman to conservatives and fucked up Christian groups - Resigned when it turned out that twenty columns he'd written for an Indiana newspaper consisted of shit he'd ripped off from old issues of the Dartmouth Review. Someone at AP fucked up big time when they issued a bulletin with a headline saying Bush had resigned, they corrected it an hour later, but not before Yahoo splashed it all over the fucking place. Why am I not surprised that Goeglein was the top aid to Karl Rove? Wanker!
.
Microsoft will stop this shit!!!
In a perfect world that would be an authentic headline. Actually, in a perfect world we wouldn't have that asshole in the White House...alas....

Couldn’t one argue that Bush has been plagiarizing for nearly eight years, as he’s incapable of generating original ideas or words on his own?

The serious issue - amidst all the other serious issues - is the fact that Bush & Co. have done NOTHING to further and/or support research and development in the sciences while he's been in office. We've made no significant progress in medicine, science, space exploration, etc. It's no wonder the economy has slowed. The current batch of crooks in the White House have certainly lined their own pockets but in that process have done nothing to move this country forward and therefore, by definition, we've fallen behind.

If you depended on Presidents for original ideas, you'd probably have to go back to Woodrow Wilson whose ideas wouldn't have made anyone's short list.
But anyway:
see today's New York Times week in review----Michael Kinsley has an amusing short remembrance of William F Buckley Jr.

My son looked over my shoulder and said I was being unkind to the idea-generating ability of presidents after Wilson. So:
Harding had the idea of a a money scandals, Tea Pot Dome.
Coolidge, with his Indian Head dress photo op, paved the way for Obama in mufti.
Hoover brought in high tariffs (Smoot-Hawley).
FDR was against immigration turning away a shipful of European evacuees and sending them back to Hitler.
Truman got to use the bomb first, twice.
Ike played golf; Kennedy played touch football; Johnson started recording converations in the oval office; Nixon put in wage and price controls; Ford freed the Poles; Carter lusted in his heart and introduced the Misery Index; Reagan traded arms for hostages (not a bad deal); Clinton pushed for NAFTA which he still pushed for when he's not doing the Cleveland, Akron, Columbus run; Bush spent 2005-2006 solving the Social Security Crisis.

ROFL
"Bush spent 2005-2006 solving the Social Security Crisis."
Yes, I'm sure it's all solved. Another "Mission Accomplished", no doubt.

Exactly. Bush has resolved NOTHING!! Arguably the worst president in our history. No one expected him to have an actual idea re: science, medicine, space technology, etc. - but simply to support those that did have ideas..and he didn't...

Hey...
Bush is taking us to Mars. There's a hell of a lot of brush needs clearing up there!

You mean the social security crisis isn't solved?
What are we going to do, George?
