16SepBush on sovereignty

Does Bush know the meaning of the word “sovereignty”? Let’s find out!

Host: “Mr. President, you’ve been a governor and a president. You have unique experience, looking at it from two directions; What do you think tribal sovereignty means in the twenty-first century, and how do we resolve conflicts between tribes and the federal and state government?”

Bush: “Yeah,..tribal sovereignty means that; It’s “sovereign”.it’s…y’ you, you’re a…you’re a …you’ve been given…sovereignty and…you’re…viewed as a…sovereign…entity…” *Pause*

(*audience laughs*)

Host: “Okay…”

Bush: “…and…therefore the relationship between the federal government and…tribes…is one between s-…sovereign entities!”

    dude, I have some questions about magnablog

    If I wanna make a new page a new link (except for the blog section) is it possible? Like I wanna put in a “info” page. Can I do it trough the admin panel or do I have to make a php file manually?

    also, can I install it on a different section (fol?der) in my site (even if I have that mambo thing installed) just for testing purposes you know, and how easy is it to uninstall it?

    You can answer to my mail dinoklopic@hotmail.com

    also.. duuude where are you!? Still working on that project? =/
