What a catastrophe!
Someone explain to me again why are we ruled by this idiot?
Our Long National Nightmare
For millions of hard-working, middle-class families, life under the Bush presidency has grown less affordable and less secure. President Bush%u2019s record of fiscal incompetence and mismanagement, and Republicans%u2019 close ties with special interests, have helped lead to both lower wages on the one hand and skyrocketing costs for basic necessities like gas, health care, and college tuition on the other. Unfortunately, instead of producing solutions to the problems facing the middle class, Bush Republicans have ignored them and pushed for policies that would make matters even worse.
We are a poorer nation with that wanker in charge.
Mission Accomplished
Fuck, yeah! Please, somebody shoot me.
What a wanker!
I don’t know how anyone could’ve taken him seriously. Ever. Right from the beginning you knew he was a wanker. Dude is the type that you want to have a beer with. Not the type you want to be your president. And even having a beer with him would make you feel uncomfortable, because he’s just a scuzz ball. Fucking America. Bunch of stupid wankers for electing this guy. TWICE.
Netflix defeated
I’m turning out like CapitolSwell. I had Memories of Murder at my house for weeks. Supposedly, I had received it on the seventh of April. I didn’t ever watch it. I put it back in the mail on Monday, April 30th.
It sat on my nightstand for weeks. I had also bought several other DVDs over those weeks, mainly Barabara Stanwyck flicks, which I watched. Twice sometimes.
This is the first time that I didn’t watch a movie from my Netflix queue. Even some of the sucky ones which almost put me to sleep, I slogged my way through. I never let a movie get me down. Perhaps if The Host wasn’t so disappointing I would have watched it quicker.
Anyhow, OneLittleSeedling has ripped it twice. So I’ll just borrow it from him. If I get the urge to watch it.
March Sadness
I’ve been out of my tournament pools since the end of the second round (Louisville and Texas mutha fuckers!), so it was with much chagrin to find out that it’s Flordida-Ohio State in the final.
And the world yawns.
Question. If it’s March Madness why does it end in April?
Spring Break 2007
I forgot to mention spring break.
Girls gone wild and all.
Super Bowl Post
Super Bowl Sunday! A non-sanctioned American holiday. It’s probably the only collective event that almost everyone in America watches.
I am rooting for the Colts. Blasphemy from one Baltirmorean whose father had some season tickets before they slunk out of town twenty some years ago.
I am rooting for them, because they have the least wankery fans. Chicago is the third wanker fan town. Boston first. New York second. Chicago third. It’s like they lord over the other cities who don’t know what it’s like.
So go Colts. Beat those wanker Bears.
Are we still there?
So President Fucktard had his State of the Union Speech last night. I didn’t watch or read it. It would just make my blood boil. All I can think about is that we are left with 2 more years of this fuck. And we’ll still be in Iraq.
What was it he said in the 2000 presidential debates?
MODERATOR: New question. How would you go about as president deciding when it was in the national interest to use U.S. force, generally?
BUSH: Well, if it’s in our vital national interest, and that means whether our territory is threatened or people could be harmed, whether or not the alliances are — our defense alliances are threatened, whether or not our friends in the Middle East are threatened. That would be a time to seriously consider the use of force. Secondly, whether or not the mission was clear. Whether or not it was a clear understanding as to what the mission would be. Thirdly, whether or not we were prepared and trained to win. Whether or not our forces were of high morale and high standing and well-equipped. And finally, whether or not there was an exit strategy. I would take the use of force very seriously. I would be guarded in my approach. I don’t think we can be all things to all people in the world. I think we’ve got to be very careful when we commit our troops. The vice president and I have a disagreement about the use of troops. He believes in nation building. I would be very careful about using our troops as nation builders. I believe the role of the military is to fight and win war and therefore prevent war from happening in the first place. So I would take my responsibility seriously.
(Bold italics mine)
Read it and weep. He’ll use it to fight a war, but when it comes time for peacekeeping missions, not so much. The fucktard can say all he wants, but everyone should’ve known that he would never have been serious about putting a nation back together again. And he did it twice.
He viewed peacekeeping as an inessential aspect of our military. We can blow it up real good, but someone else should clean the mess up. And that is why we’re here today. And will be there tomorrow and the next.
His exit strategy was always blow it up and leave. Why do you think he abandoned the Afghanistan front quickly? And why do you think he pushed quickly through to Baghdad? To get it over and done. “Mission Accomplished?” Yes, since his mission was to break stuff and leave.
That’s all you really needed to have read before the war — his anathema to securing the peace straight from the horse’s mouth. To believe that he would be able to create a stable, democratic state in the middle east is to believe a lie. This fucktard president has always been lying to us. Presidents have been impeached for those kind of shenanigans.
He goes on later in his rebuttal of VP Gore:
BUSH: (snip)… If we don’t have a clear vision of the military, if we don’t stop extending our troops all around the world and nation building missions, then we’re going to have a serious problem coming down the road, and I’m going to prevent that. I’m going to rebuild our military power. It’s one of the major priorities of my administration.
He’s destroyed it. Our military is spread thin and it’s hard to find the soldiers to carry on in Iraq. We are already in that serious problem. Why couldn’t he have listened to his own self?
We are a poorer nation for having him as our president.
Earn your pay
The slug line for this link is, “Culture Shock on Capitol Hill: House to Work 5 Days a Week.”For this let me quote John McClane, “Welcome to the party, pal.”WTF?! is up with the whining here. Can’t manage a five day a week schedule. Poor babies. You know you could get another job. Of course this article only talks about the first month. Little is said about the other weeks of the year that they take off. They’re playing us for suckers.
He’s got to go
George W Bush. Worst. President. Ever. And we are a poorer nation for it.
