So, what have you got to say for yourself? Post your comments, reminisces, or just say “hi” to someone you used to know!

Please enjoy the Bulletin Board -- have fun, take that walk down memory lane, get reacquainted and don't say anything about anybody you wouldn't want said about yourself (in public, anyway). Before you send anything, please review it to see whether it is respectful and responsible. The views on the Bulletin Board are those of the person who posted it and not the alumni of Edison or Edison High School as a whole, so we do not allow anonymous postings.

And remember, please, keep it clean!

Dennis Nolan My sympathies to Glenn Byron (remember Miss Fredericks!), defending the Bush record on the eve of this historic election (or at any other time) is a Herculean task. Some say W is the worst president in U.S. history (Hist. News Net.), but I say just because he didn’t have his first Cabinet meeting on al Qaeda until one week before 9/11 (despite Richard Clarke’s “urgent” memo requesting a meeting eight months earlier), or just because 9/11 could have been prevented had the intelligence community and W’s administration been paying attention (CBS News, USF Oracle), or just because he was planning to invade Iraq well before the World Trade Centers went down (Sunday Herald, Guerrilla News Net.), or just because he depleted the National Treasury, grossly underestimating the war’s fiscal and human costs (Int’l Herald Trib., Iraq Coalition Casualties, Seattle P. I., Nat’l Priorities Proj.), or just because he had no exit strategy and mislead the public as to the true reasons for initiating this unprecedented, unnecessary “pre-emptive” conflict (Middle E. Info. Center, Guardian UK), or just because the author of the U.S. Army War College study of the war concluded that "the invasion of Iraq was a diversion from the [] narrower focus on defeating al Qaeda[,]" or just because the International Institute of Strategic Studies reports al Qaeda is now 18,000 strong, inhabiting more than 60 countries, with many new recruits joining as a result of the war in Iraq, or just because W feels his path to war was charted by God, although no one can presume to speak for God because, as Lincoln observed, “The Almighty has His own purposes,” or just because W repudiated the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty, the International Criminal Court, and failed to sign two international treaties designed to curb terrorism, or just because W’s administration has conducted such a masterful campaign of disinformation that most of his supporters – present company excepted, I trust – have lost touch with reality (PIPA),

Dennis Nolan or just because he’s run the most clandestine administration in history (NPR), or just because he has little regard for civil liberties (US Civ. Rts. Comm., ACLU), or just because he has orchestrated a staggering assault on the environment (NRDC, Sierra Club, Rolling Stone), or just because he has taken cronyism in government to a new level (Old Am. Century), or just because as governor of Texas he set the record for executions (152 – several cases were used by law professors as examples of justice gone awry despite the fact that W spent an entire 15 minutes reviewing each file) and mimicked Carla Faye Tucker’s plea for clemency (“Please, don’t kill me,” he whimpered in mock desperation), or just because his “favorite” Supreme Court justices, Scalia and Thomas (the latter was daddy’s pick), are the Court’s most reactionary members in the extreme (and the Court should have vacancies to fill during the next four years), or just because he has ignored the most extraordinary human rights disaster since WWII – more than 3.3 million dead in the Congo in four years, about 40,000 women and girls raped – which is to say nothing of the genocide in Sudan (if only those nations had more oil … Amnesty Int’l, Inter Press Serv.), or just because the man apparently has no soul (E. Hampton Star), that doesn’t make him the worst president ever. After all, our history as a nation isn’t over yet (is it?), there could be other, more incurious, apocalyptic, Messianic, calamitous, divisive, dim-witted presidents still to come: Jeb may run in 2008.

We could do what other sites do and make this as long and painful to read as possible, get a bunch of lawyers involved and find the most obscure English words possible, but why?
