The official BLAME BUSH thread.

[asthmaticeog]

Use this thread to blame Bush -- for anything! Upset about a natural disaster? Blame Bush right here - you have permission! Bad day on the job? Stub your toe? S.O. leaving you? Sensitive body parts smooshed under an anvil? BLAME BUSH IN THIS THREAD! It's all OK in here!

High honors granted for exceptionally tortuous rationalizations as to WHY your grievance is Bush's fault.

1. A picture of Bush was on the news...

when my stomach started getting upset last night. Now I feel like puking!:puke:

2. I blame Bush for my DU addiction

But I assume that's the case for most of us.

I also blame him for my smoking since Nov 2. I had been clean of the evil white cancer sticks for a year, then bam.. I just quit again over the holiday BTW.

3. It's b*sh fault that I have

no S.O.

There's no future, as long as b*sh remains in power...

4. I blame bush for having to put my doggie to sleep

Sonic was sick through the election and after he discovered bush "won" he could not imagine living four more years under the bush regime. Four more years of his mommy complaining about bush, so he just decided to quit fighting and allowed the illness to take over.

I blame bush for my dog's death!

5. My apartment's heating bill was $180 this month.

OK, sure, it's an old duplex; it's a large space with high ceilings and inefficient windows. Chances are, whoever was occupying that space would be paying that much or more for heating.

Still...
If Bush hadn't been inaugurated in January 2001, we never would have gotten as involved in politics as we did.

If we hadn't gotten as involved in politics as we did, my soon-to-be-former spouse would not have run for political office.

Absent that, we may have gotten divorced a couple of years ago.

If we'd gotten divorced a couple of years ago, I could very well be remarried, have a baby on the way and be living in a nice, well-insulated house with a high-efficiency furnace and Energy Star windows.

But because we did the divorce thing this year, I moved into this apartment (which likely would not have been available two years ago). Because I live in this apartment, I am the one who must pay the $180.

Therefore, it is Bush's fault I have to pay the $180.

QED.

6. So it looks like the clenis is vindicated

Finally!

7. Bush caused me to get a B+ in Health Economics!

I would have had straight A's but for him! It's also his fault that I met a wonderful girl just before I have to go off to Washington for four months and not see her! (This one is true, by the way. I met her while I was watching the Daily Show in the lounge, which I wouldn't have been if it wasn't for Bush making me so angry that I needed comic relief all of this past year)
