"This business about graceful exit just simply has no realism to it at all."
- Bush, on the US leaving Iraq, late last year
Read this on my Chimp-O-Matic widget on my iGoogle this morning and got to wondering if Bush is planning to do the same thing with his administration as he continues his lame-but-dangerous-duck impersonation.
Working some bizarro hours this week so not sure what kind of posts I'll be able to make and when. Stay tuned.
"Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Go with this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess. Why would I wanna watch you...

What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die"

Oh yeah, I keep meaning to link this to you.
Tired of the morons always winning? Tired of reality TV and know-nothing celebrities? Tired of kids idolizing the dregs of society who contribute nothing to the betterment of the world?
Want to participate in an empty jesture just to get some of that frustration off your chest?
Good, then head over here and sign yourself up on the Send Paris Hilton to Jail petition. If nothing else, read the comments of those who posted and realize that people just don't like this vapid little piece of street trash.

Turns out reconstruction in the Gulf Coast has another hurdle: FEMA. After being asleep at the switch as Katrina unfolded, the agency is now withholding funds to local communities that paid for debris removal services.
To be more blunt, the government that did away with minimum wage laws to screw over local construction workers is complaining that communities paid too much when all that was left was either waiting for the Corps of Engineers - who were overwhelmed - or pay contractors either feeling the squeeze or just blatantly robbing folks.
To be even more blunt, why is a government who handed the keys to the Treasury to their corporate pals when rebuilding Iraq busting the asses of American citizens who are just trying to get their lives back together?
