'Agitator' Radly Balko gives out his end of year Agity awards, including:
Agity Disappointment of the Year
George W. Bush. He's very close to a "lifetime achievement award" in this category. Bad on trade. Bad on regulation. Bad on spending. Bad on education. Bad on campaign finance. Bad on entitlement growth. Bad on civil liberties. And I haven't even touched his "humble," "no nation-building" foreign policy.
Runners-Up: Howard Dean. The "maybe I'll vote for him" anti-war, gays, guns and fiscal responsibility governor has morphed into a pro-every-war-except-Iraq, pro drug war, big-spending, re-regulating, tax-cut revoker who found Jesus just in time for the South Carolina primary. Ugh.
Ryan Adams. Released three albums in 2003, all of them crap.
I didn't listen to the Ryan Adams discs. The rest of it looks about right.
