			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_bullet_theory">What are you talking about?</a></p>
<p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/WC_Vol18_CE903_SBT_alignement.jpg" alt="Arlen Specter" height="341" width="484" /></p>
<p>There&#8217;s something fishy to me about how quick Bush&#8217;s reaction is. I know, I know, while Dick Cheney has been carrying out the duties of the President for 8 years, Bush has been in the gym or on his mountain bike, so I have no doubt that the guy is in great shape and probably has quick reflexes. Still, he seems to start ducking before the thrower even raises the shoe. I wonder if this is just another headline-stealing diversionary tactic to avert America&#8217;s eyes from the fact that the Bushies are basically emptying out the Treasury as they sneak out the back door.</p>
