George W. Bush's Presidential Library

What a waste of money and space. A presidential center in honor of idiot George W. Bush.

If they want to build something else we don't need, how about another McDonald's or Kentucky Fried Chicken?

I like the sound of one of the exhibits though. Some kind of $100 million holograph of the Constitution continually going through a shredder. Just like during his failed presidency.

Raising The Threat Level Against Tom Ridge

Does anyone know the nature of the threat against Tom Ridge? Did they threaten to castrate him? Does anyone know?

The way he announced he'd raised the terror alert because of politics, then the way he's feverishly backpedaled ever since, lets us know something's up.

He's surely still got 'em, OK, because if not, we're sure he'd be free to speak his mind. And his voice doesn't sound that much different than usual. But if anyone belongs to the same fitness club as Tom Ridge, or if you're, say, his wife, could you take a peek while he's showering and let us know?

We're pretty sure everything still has to be intact. And as long as he plays ball, he'll have something to play with.

But we think the threat level against Tom Ridge is high enough -- and all politics aside -- we're raising it to RED.

Sorry About That

I've been regretting yesterday's outburst against George W. Bush. Yes, he wasn't my favorite person. But also he's gone. There's no real reason to be venting my spleen against him now.

It's not healthy either to just be insulting and derogatory, even if in many ways he obviously deserves it and perhaps worse. I have to think of me, though, and my psychic health.

We'll try from now on looking ahead, not looking back. Being positive, not negative. And if the subject of George W. Bush comes up, which we hope it won't, we will gracefully bow out, biting our tongue (if that's what it takes), and head for the exit.

His reign, his regime as president was full of terrible things. We have been seriously riled up by him and his inability to serve as a president with any sense or decency. But aren't we only prolonging our agony unnecessarily by dwelling on him? This is a time for breathing, for a new start, not for lamentation and bile.

It feels good, really, to look ahead, and to let the past recede. That feeling is what we want and what we will seek as we press on into the future.

That Rubbish Called George W. Bush

Isn't it great to finally be rid of our National Joke, George W. Bush? Mr. Poking His Nose in Everyone's Business, Defaming and Trampling on the Constitution At Every Turn Bush?

I feel for President Obama, having still to deal with Human Scum (congressional Republicans), but everyone needs a devil. God made the actual devil, keeps him around. So apparently Republicans are going to be hard to exclude as well.

Yesterday it was reported that Obama had to tell these Wasteoids that he won the election and that things are going to happen with or without them. It's amazing to me that they think they can breeze in, having been crushed, and expect to continue with Bush's perverted policies.

As for the brush-cutting Bush, good for little else, I haven't heard much about him since his worthless speech the night of the Inauguration. And it'll be fine with me if it stays that way. We don't like you, we don't want you, stay gone.

We'll carry on with Obama, reversing some of Bush's ideological craziness and putting the Republicans in their place. Don't let them get you down. If you have to roll over them to govern in a common sense way, let 'em have it.

Another Speech By George W. Bush

I was clicking back and forth between MSNBC and CNN most of the day. If they got too pompous or too silly on one, I'd go to the other. Then if there was a commercial, back to the other.

There came a time or two when I checked out Fox, like if both the others were at commercials. I have a policy of avoiding Fox, and feel quite a bit happier for it.

Toward evening was one of these times, two commercials, so a quick peek at Fox, and who do they have but former President George W. Bush! I thought, that figures. We're finally shut of this crook and his travesty of a presidency, and what are they playing on Fox, but the same stinking guy!

Bush was giving a speech at Midland, Texas, having arrived there from his plane ride (escape) out of Washington. And he was burning down the barn, justifying himself, all to approving calls and applause. He wasn't apologetic for his eight years of criminal behavior, in fact he put quite the positive spin on it. It seems that he liberated 50,000,000 people. (Does anyone remember the build up to the Iraq war? Was it ever his aim to liberate people? Something about WMD, if I recall.)

Anyway, he had some humorous parts. Folksy stuff that the (probably handpicked) audience ate up. Like him tomorrow making coffee for Laura, part of his new "domestic agenda."

Uggh, why is this evil man on TV again? Please go away.

Civic Compliments

Once in a while I find myself in a situation where I have to hew right down the middle of the road, such as speaking about civic duty, then being complimentary to all mainstream political persuasions.

You see this on TV, or it will come up at the Inauguration, for example, where someone has to pay tribute to political opponents. Maybe it's like we used to hear about professional wrestlers. They may be trying to kill each other in the ring, but outside they're having coffee and inquiring about the kids. We do see it in Congress, "My esteemed colleague and good friend from Alabama."

It's a tough thing to do, let's say if the subject happens to be George W. Bush. But you know Obama's going to have good things to say about Bush. You have to. It stinks but many necessary jobs stink.

So what can you say about Bush in a complimentary way without getting in too deep or being too much of a liar? I almost Googled it to find out, because I'm nearly at a loss. He loves his wife? He loves his country? He lead us through tough times? He made tough decisions?

Bush: "A Total Failure"

Nancy Pelosi, bless her heart, in an interview with CNN, had some interesting things to say about President Bush:

"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, the president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject."

She also said the Congress was busy "trying to sweep up after (Bush's) mess over and over and over again ... The president knows it. He needs something to talk about. Because he has no ideas."

Every once in a while someone says something that boils down the argument to just a few words, and puts the truth out there in as plain a way as it deserves. This is one of those times.

Bush on Clinton and Obama

George Bush weighed in Friday on the Democratic candidates in an interview with an Italian journalist.

"I thought it was a really good statement, powerful moment when a major political party nominates an African-American man to be their standard bearer. And it's good for our democracy that that happened. And we also had a major contender being a woman. Obviously Hillary Clinton was a major contender. So I think it's a good sign for American democracy."

This is the kind of thing our pathetic president should have been saying over the years. He's been such a partisan hack, so oblivious to the notion that he's the president of the entire country, that you just don't expect to hear anything of graciousness or a sense of things coming from his lips.

One of my biggest objections to Bush is that he chose to go it alone, not caring for the rest of us.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Term

George W. Bush -- A Mistake

Louis is on the right track with his new blog, George Bush: A Mistake. "My goal is to convince the Republicans to vote for Democrats, and anyone else to go for Democrats," which is a worthy goal.

I would put this blog in the category of "It shouldn't be necessary for an ordinary citizen to have to do this, because the obvious should be obvious to everyone." But the feeling is real -- why can people (media, whoever, lifelong Republicans) not see this?

You have to wonder about people sometime. If they were bit by a snake a hundred times, would they still reach in the hole and say, "Nothing bit me." In other words, it's best to recognize what's going on with our government, and vote for change.
