Bush supporters don't know what they are talking about. (it's a PDF, unfortunately)
Well, it doesn't really say that, but it shows that most Bush supporters have incorrect beliefs about what Bush really stands for are ignore facts that make them uncomfortable.
"So why do Bush supporters show such a resistance to accepting dissonant information? While it is normal for people to show some resistance, the magnitude of the denial goes beyond the ordinary. Bush supporters have succeeded in suppressing awareness of the findings of a whole series of high- profile reports about prewar Iraq that have been blazoned across the headlines of newspapers and prompted extensive, high-profile and agonizing reflection. The fact that a large portion of Americans say they are unaware that the original reasons that the US took military action--and for which Americans continue to die on a daily basis--are not turning out to be valid, are probably not due to a simple failure to pay attention to the news."
Kurt Vonnegut.The best quotes from his book Timequake:
"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country," said
the American patriot Nathan Hale. "Fuck the bums!" said the American
patriot Kilgore Trout."
and
"I go home. I have had one heck of a good time. Listen: We are here on
Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different!"
Good old

John Stewart on Crossfire, talking about the media and how slack they are now. This is a long file, and is somewhat awkward to watch, since they obviously have major friction early in the clip, but Stewart makes some good points. He also calls Tucker Carlson a dick on live tv.

http://www.the-underdogs.org/ is a site full of games that were overlooked but good, or are just old now. The great thing about it is that you can download a lot of full games!
Oregon Trail Deluxe and
Tetris and
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? and tons of games that I wanted to play when I was younger, such as
Wasteland, which I thought had the coolest
cover ever.
It is amazing how often conversations like
