Well, it’s only two days away from the election, and probably too late to really change any set in their ways voters, but here’s yet another piece of dirt on Bush to add to the procuring abortion/DUI/IQ pile.

A bit of trivia: I was a member of the fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon as was George W. Bush. Other famous DEKES include Teddy Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, George Bush Sr., Dick Clark (heh!), Dan Quayle (zoiks!) and Mr. Doonesbury himself, Garry Trudeau, who must have been at the same house at Yale at the same time as Dubya. If Trudeau is considered something of a black sheep at DKE these days, then so am I cuz I’m on his side, but looky here: [http://dke.org/doonesbury.html](http://dke.org/doonesbury.html) ---
