"What Boneheaded Design Guides Dubya's Moves?"
How does one explain all the misguided, unwise, sometimes outright boneheaded things the Bush administration has done since taking over nearly five years ago, and continues to do on a pretty much daily basis? How is it possible for a group of supposedly intelligent, experienced individuals to take this many wrong turns? Wouldn't you think that once in a while, even by accident, that George W. Bush and his advisers would make a decision that made sense?

Can this much mismanagement happen totally at random? Would the occupants of the Bush White House have us believe that all these things, these missteps, these miscalculations, these attempts to deceive, that they all, you know, just kind of happened?

I'm not so sure. And I'm not the only one starting to ask questions. More and more, it seems unlikely that mere human beings could make this many mistakes without some sort of misguiding force, a kind of supernatural entity that has trouble remembering where it put its car keys.

That's where unintelligent design comes in.

1. He operates on "Gut Feelings"
which means he screws up a lot....

Remember John Kusak in High Fidelity? When he said that he had finally learned, "Anybody who acts on gut feelings has shit for brains."

How true, how true how true....

3. Greed fuels these clowns.
I don't think the guys at the top, with the exception of Bush are stupid.

Now, the ignorant ones are those who vote for them

6. Right - ideology that rewards greed
NO matter how damaging and stupid the idea is, if it fits the ideology they just "Stick to principle"

4. There's that German video someone posted
before the last election which showed a little man going up a ladder into Bush's ear and then having him perform during the debates. Of course I can't find it now. It was very funny.

7. "Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste..."


Many folks benefit greatly from "mistakes".
