Bush: Worse Than A Blind Pig.
I was listening to the news this morning and I thought: is Bush the Antichrist? I mean for real. Because the amazing thing is, whenever a sentence begins with "The Bush administration announced its new policy of..." there is a 100% chance that what comes next is going to be pure evil.

Seriously. Even Reagan probably sometimes did something that wasn't *totally* evil, just by accident, or because he wasn't paying attention. You know the old saying that even a blind pig occasionally finds an acorn? Bush has been in office for years now and he has not ever found a single acorn. Every single thing he has done has been awful. And not just ethically awful, I mean bad-for-the-country awful.

It's a friggin' joke. I don't get how these newsreaders can talk about the "Healthy Forest Initiative" and suchlike things and take it all seriously. We are one step away from, "Today the White House spokesperson announced the unveiling of Bush's new plan to stimulate the economy by randomly flogging American citizens in the public squares on a daily basis. The 'Leave Skin On No Behind' initiative will revive the flagging tourism industry by drawing curious onlookers to the public ass-whippings, thereby revitalizing crumbling urban downtowns and creating 3 billion jobs by September 2004." And I swear to God when they do institute the "Leave Skin On No Behind" plan, the NPR bastards will deliver it in the same approving, official, this-makes-perfect-sense tones they're using now.

ARGH!

I have my disappointments with all the Democratic candidates. But I swear to God, even a ham sandwich would do a better job. If we can't hope for positive good, even the absence of deliberate evil will be a step up.

1. What you say is so true and...
....perfect I feel it would almost be blasphemous to try to add anything.

4. "is Bush the Antichrist? "
I ask myself that question almost daily, when I hear about some absurd revisionist explanation of why everything they do has to work backwards like Seinfeld in Bizarro World:

We have to cut down the forests to save them.
We have to bomb the Iraqis to protect them.
We have to restrict American freedom so we can protect liberty.
We have to protect the overseas outsourcing of jobs to create new jobs.
We have to save money on the war by privatizing and providing a profit.
I can't even lucidly convey the concept of how there were no Al Queda terrorists in Iraq until well after the US occupation of Iraq.

My head is spinning.

don't forget the clean air initiave by easing restrictions on heavy polluters or making the country more secure by bypassing the UN and pissing off all our allies.

IT IS ENDLESS!!!!!!!!!!

as a child my mom used to buy zest soap, i hated it. always felt like there was a film all over me yet their commercials advertised how it left no film, zestfully clean. since then i have noticed numerous similar examples in the advertising world, where they take a products weak point and lie 180 degrees and stress it as a strong point. watch carefully, it is out there. this admin is doing the exact same thing!!!

on edit: UP THE HAM SAMMICH!!!!!!!!! :toast:

12. I thought I was nuts. I wanted to like Zest but it did feel like I hadn't
rinsed off and had a film on me. I liked the smell of it but back to Dial for me. The darned ads though. We went right out and got that Zest. Same with Duz. A soap, and not a detergent. Duz does Everything. Halo Shampoo added two words to its label and made double their money. "Repeat and rinse."

Ah, the good ole days. :think:

Notice that the pace of this retrograde devolution is accelerating as the bipolar Whistle Ass realizes that his time as POTUS is almost up? So many favors, so little time!

6. A ham sandwich.
:-) You make me laugh. You are right. This man is beyond criticism for incompetence only. His administration is evil. Even if it isn't himself alone, it's the aggregate whole and it gets worse as dissenters are replaced by more pliable toadies, or is that piggies.

14. Wait!
You're not a telemarketer are you? Didn't he start the "Do not call" database?

I'll admit it's a damn small accomplishment measured against the incredible evil, but it's something...

...as long as the Supine Court doesn't declare the law "unconstitutional" (just this once) and give our phone numbers to MCI!
