The Thief
Le Voleur is French for the Thief. In 1828, during the birth and rise of the newspaper, Emile de Girardin had a novel idea on how to use the newest writing technology, the printing press. He and a friend decided to start a periodical, but since they lacked capital, the weekly was entitled Le Voleur (The Thief) and it reprinted the best articles that had appeared elsewhere during the week, saving editorial costs.

Condie For President
This man has a twisted sense of reality. I really like this line "Since Bush’s success in Iraq has laid the basis for negotiation in the Middle East, there is every prospect that Rice may preside over a diplomatic triumph in catalyzing the discussions between Sharon and Abbas."

For the past 24 years A Bush or a Dole has either held power in the executive branch, or fought for it. I highly doubt a system of politics that encourages dynasty will change any time soon. I think it is a safe bet that someone related to, or extremely close to the family will run in '08.

1980- George H. W. Bush - Vice Pres.
1984- George H. W. Bush - Vice Pres.
1988- George H. W. Bush - Pres.
1992- George H. W. Bush- Runs for re-election- Loses
1996- Bob Dole - Runs against Clinton- Loses
2000- George W. Bush - Defeats Gore- Pres.
2004- George W. Bush- Re-elected President
