Speaking of Chicago, I could not believe one of the letters printed in today's Chicago Tribune. It's no secret that the extreme left likes to blame George Bush for everything they can, but there's got to be a limit. Apparently not, as letter writer R. Conrad Stein has now put the blame for Chicago's screwed up transit system on - you guessed it - George W. Bush!

Never mind the fact that the CTA is a wasteful bureaucracy with lazy over-paid workers. It's actually that evil George Bush's fault; because we invaded Iraq, the CTA is screwed up. And his proposed solution? More Federal tax dollars! Let's pump more money into an inefficient, wasteful system. And not just money from Chicago tax-payers, oh no -- let's reach our hands into the pocket of all American tax-payers to fix a regional mess that should be borne by people in Illinois.

Typical liberal tripe. Let's see, what else can we blame on Bush? If there's something in your life that is not going right, I'm pretty sure it's George Bush's fault. Car won't start? It's that damn George Bush! Broke your shoe lace? George Bush! Spilled your coffee? Bush! ad infinitum...
