Is that Osama as in "get him dead or alive" or as in "I don't think about that fella?"
It's hard not to get angry at this administration for not like, oh, I don't know, actually CATCHING the people responsible for the attack on our country. But money's been made, and will continue to be made...from disaster after disaster. And I pity the victims. But then we're all victims here, aren't we?

For years conservatives have lectured America about fiscal responsibility and Republican prowess at foreign affairs, not to mention how much more patriotic they are than the rest of us. With control of all branches of the government, they’ve managed to hand over our financial future to China, lie us into a disastrous war that's destabilizing the Persian Gulf, and implement an official policy of torture that defiles the essence of what made America the hope of the world. Are they deliberately doing this, or is this just criminal incompetence? Why do they think they’re so damn moral? “The Book of Virtues” by Bill Bennett? If they are as pious and righteous as they claim, then where’s the moral outrage? When a detainee of the US government is tortured to death, the protest from the religious fundamentalists who gave us the Bush administration, sounds like autumn leaves falling to the ground.

The decline of the "Happy Days" TV sitcom started when Fonzie "jumped the shark" while water skiing.
George W. Bush jumped his shark when he invaded Iraq unnecessarily since we already had UN sanctions on Saddam and were able to flyover most of Iraq anytime we wanted.
Disrupting Iraq's oil supplies has escalated worldwide energy costs, the war in Iraq has balooned our deficits, stretched our military and allowed Bin Laden and worldwide terrorism to roam free.
Pile on natural dasasters at home and the unwillingness to consider tax increases and George W goes down as a monumental blunderer.
Nor were John Kerry and the Democrats offering anything better a year ago.

As long as we're playing the alternative game: When John McCain won the New Hampshire primary in 2000, the country got a chance to see the true Bush in action. His group of sleaze merchants went after a Republican war hero in South Carolina to get their dry-drunk Daddy's boy into the White House at any cost. Rather than throw this pathetic charlatan out of politics, the Bush puppy-love set drew him to their bosom for a long suck. Well, now we're here, with the worse case of sore nipples in recorded history.

By the bye, awhile back if you didn't notice, right after Katrina hit, a radical Israeli rabbi claimed Katrina was God's punishment of the US for supporting the pullout from Gaza. Mr. Bush didn't respond...so far as we know...just as he didn't with Katrina.

Interesting stats on the public debt. If Clinton supposedly left us with a surplus, why has the public debt increased every year since 1987? Just wondering.

Wow. I should open up a tinfoil hat business for some of you guys.
Free grape kool-aid to all our customers. If you can get here before Bush ends the world.
Gotta run...I can only blog while the satellites are not over my house or they can scan my brain.
