Good works

The Clinton Foundation has brokered a deal to deliver drugs to children infected with HIV at dramatically lower costs.

After reading the article, I couldn't help but wonder...what will George W. Bush do for the good of the world when he leaves office?

Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are all over the place...using their influence to try to make the world a little better...hell, even George Sr. has been pitching in a little...

I'll guess that G-dub will probably return to his ranch in Crawford (as he won't have to use The Google on The Internets to look at the blurry image) to clean up brush and ride his new bike...

"Vroom vroom! Look at my new bike, Mom! It's red!"

.what will George W. Bush do for the good of the world when he leaves office?"

I think the question answers it self.
"When he leaves office."

It seems like there's one or two reports a day now of good things coming from the Clinton Presidency. In my mind there's no doubt the state is reaping a lot more benefits after that Presidency than during it.

I guess if you think about it, that's logical, but I hadn't realized it before. Thank you Bill Clinton!

Apropos of nothing . . . . an afternoon word problem:

Say you are making $140,000 as an employee of a city (any city) that is in perpetual budget crisis, but you want a $15,000 raise. How many cigarettes will it cost you to make the Mayor your prison bitch AND get the raise. I make a few projections on my blog page-- click my name.

Yea I guess his conscience finally got to him for selling that prison, HIV infected blood all over the world.

Clinton Strikes again.

Strange. The front blog page indicated that there was only one post here, yet I found not one but five--well, four plus an accidental double. Even after returning to and refreshing the front page, it still showed only one, yet there are definitely five. I'm only posting this to see whether the number changes.

Nope. It didn't. When I hit "Post", though, I got an error message from Moveable Type--something about a "date-based archive"--but upon re-entering the site, the number still appeared as "1", but my post was now here, as well as the snarky new one from CJ.

Bill Clinton could find and fund a cure for cancer, and the right-wingers would still hate him. There is nothing so good that he can do that it won't generate criticism from those who still worship the Gods Bush, Cheney, Falwell and Limbaugh.

The thing about Bill is that he will keep doing good things like this, which will deepen his worldwide admiration, thus heaping coals of fire upon the heads of his haters.

That's really the only thing to do.

Maybe if he does enough good works, it will counterbalance the lingering images that follow him concerning the disreputable moral actions he gave into during his earlier political career.

I'm not rehashing his past - I am agreeing that there can be redemption in how a person responds subsequent to moral failure. Just as you seem to expect Mr. Clinton's public perception to be uplifted by substituting his subsequent good acts in place of his prior bad acts, the same privilege should be extended to other well known figures, provided they demonstrate a sincere willingness to help others without returning to repeat their moral failures.
