grow some oil

I figured out why W is faking denial of global warming – he hopes the rest of the country will eventually become similar to Texas and therefore grow some oil under it.

an innocent slip of tense

I will heard this morning that President Bush said when he says before the November elections that “we are winning the war” (in Iraq) he was really said that we “will win the war” in the future, like yesterday. Why will everyone so picky picky picky?

And now a Christmas message from President Bush:

 

What’s with the Targetesque header?

I think the juxtaposition reflects the way it is. We celebrate Christmas at home while you “fight for freedom”. Thanks a lot. Now if you will excuse me I must run off to another party.

The last time we fought a war on two fronts it was a necessary evil, and the whole country got totally involved. The civilian population became an extension of the military.

Nowadays we are revenue streams for corporate-as-usual america. Be patriotic – buy shit you do not need (mostly made in china). Let the corporations run this war. Let the Corporate Commander make all the decisions; after-all he was a successful business man! We can privatize our way to victory! Charge! Debit!

Sorry

I apologize for neglecting this site by not posting at least a post saying I am not posting for awhile.

An Inconvenient Goof

I saw the Al Gore film An Inconvenient Truth.  It presents the argument for the existence of human induced global warming and the impending consequences. The statistics and their graphics were compelling.  Too bad they were wrapped in subtle yet transparent political trite.  The extraneous off task stuff is just what makes the true message unheard by those who should be hearing it.  The facts are irrefutable, the presentation – regrettable.

Too bad the production played to the choir instead of the resistant. We don’t have much time left.

How Not to Lead

Put the maximization of profit above all ideals
call it the American dream.

Invite lobbyists to secretly make policy
declare it executive privilege.

Listen only to people who agree with you
pretend you do otherwise.

Paint all who dissent with a broad pink brush
label them traitors

Intimidate rather than dialogue
blame it on evil.

squander a surplus
build a deficit

outsource torture
ignore law

fatten the rich
squeeze the poor

call yourself a Christian.

Hello? Mr.President?

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are make believe sir … I’m very sorry… good night.

poo poo head diplomacy

you call people “evil”,
then someone calls you “the devil”!
go figure…

It is sad… it always begins with Ego

It is sad, these guys always claim to be (and are believed to be) righteous leaders. What can angry vindictive men tell us about forgiveness and love?
