He’s getting ready to fuck us all again, of course.

That’s really unfair.

To Hoover.

True dat. Hoover actually accomplished quite a bit in the private sector before presiding over an economy that turned to liquid shit overnight. It does seem that some of the same putrefying reagents are being cycled back into the pool. It’s truly uncanny, really, the ability of these clowns to completely ignore any history that might prove inconvenient to their preconceptions.

That’s what she said.

The FDIC had to use their own dough last week to bail out Indy Mac, because there are now literally zero US banks in good enough shape to pony up the collateral … yet another Historic First under President Botch. Remember the good old days, when everyone was bitching about how the banks were making way too much money? Shrub sure put the boots to that problem, with bells on. Fuck free toasters – they’re gonna be holding bake-sales & buying air-time for PBS-style pledge-drives in another six months, at this rate.
For anyone that thinks offshore drilling is The Answer To Everything … it’s an excellent way to permanently bugger up the ocean floor’s ecology, even when the well comes up dry … it’s also expensive as hell, even when they don’t … & oceanic oil-spills are pretty much impossible to clean up, which is why there’s a ban on the drilling that produces them them to begin with – I can hardly wait to see how awesome that Cunning Plan looks after the first really bad year for hurricanes … would you like your tuna with High-Test or Regular?

Am I the only one who thinks that a Bush presser would be way better with a laugh track?

No – but my personal choice would be making him give it over a dunk-tank stocked with hungry piranha … & invite the families of dead US soldiers to attend, with as many baseballs as they can carry.

To Jaded Metal Head: Laugh track- good idea. Or a rude noises machine, you know, farts and burps and such.

Is wildebeest some new-fangled slang I’m unaware of? Cause, you know, with cougars…

(An ideal) is a standard of the highest possible excellence that informs decisions, planning and actions…

Bush’s standards are of the highest possible excellence. Ambrose actually fucking wrote that.

D. N. Nation: thanks for that link – that is truly spectacular drivel.

“I readily concede it won’t produce a barrel of oil tomorrow, but it will reverse the psychology,” Bush told a White House news conference.

Um, if it actually did “reverse the psychology,” I can only assume he means that it will increase people’s confidence in our economy and we’ll start buying stuff again. So, they start drilling, we all feel like we’re okay, so we . . . start buying SUVs again? Stop trying to conserve fuel in order to save money, ’cause we figure this is just a short-term thing to ride out?

So, we “reverse the psychology” and STOP trying to do anything that would actually maybe make a difference, and instead we start making them worse? But feel better about it?

That’s really unfair.

To Hoover.

Bush’s library should be made of dried shit.

He deserves nothing more.

Well, come November, at least we will have a shit processing plant named after him:

But there are some who say that it’s unfair and insulting to sewage treatment plants:

All it takes is a dollar and a dream!

If you’re going to troll, you have to use troll grammar. Lions will lay down with lams, OK?

We will be crushed by the weight of this goal

Yep.

we will interfere where we shouldn’t

Yep.

we will have to go to war everywhere

No, surprisingly. The weight of public resentment actually does stand for something. Though damn if Ambrose and his Bushies don’t actually want to do this.

we will alienate allies

Yep.

we will exhaust our national treasure

Yep.

we will be perceived as the arrogant fools we are.

And yep. Especially you, Jay.
