GW Bush Is Always Good For A Laugh

By Published on
I received this from a friend via e-mail:
Donald Rumsfeld was giving the president his daily briefing.
He concluded by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaimed. "That's terrible!"
His staff sat stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching
as the President sat, head in hands.

Finally, the President looked up and asked, "How many is a brazillion?"

(This is what happens when we elect a President who was able to garner only a 'C' average at Yale....)

The Cover-Up By Peter C. Frank ,   The Bloomfield Dispatch BLOOMFIELD, Conn. , December 4, 2025 — In Part 3 , we exposed the financial chaos: the "Material Weakness," the phantom OPM savings, and the exploding legal bills. But there was one question we couldn't answer: Why is the Administration hiding the truth about the delay? Today, The Bloomfield Dispatch is releasing documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act that the Town hoped you would never see.
