I Don't Understand

The poll numbers are still showing Bush with a lead on the issue of national security. I don't understand how this can be. Every commission, every body assembled to look at 9/11 and the war in Iraq have produced statements saying Bush is a liar. The 9/11 Commission said Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and there was no link to Al Queada while Bush maintained there was. In Afghanistan we let Osama get away. North Korea and Iran have been allowed to pursue nookyooler weapons programs unchecked, and the U.S. is presently more isolated in the world than it has been since before W.W.II, this time, though, its not by "our" choosing, but at the behest of the rest of the world, primarily because our president is (rightly) percieved to be a moron.

I don't know, man... I have been consumed since Thursday by an overwhelming sense of despair because I think Bush is gonna win.

Last week I was watching Lou Dobbs on CNN, and his question of the night was: If your candidate does not win, will you be able to get behind and support the President blah, blah, blah? The response was almost 100% "no." I have to say I agree. Whoever wins, 50% of the country will hate them.

God I'm depressed..................................

I've been overwhelmed by a sense of dispair ever since this morning when Bush DID win... you're right, you know the situation is completely dire when half the nation has a pit of dread in their stomach. not to mention probably half the world. and it won't go away for the next four years...
the cow bike is at least funny.

His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.

Republican Desperation

Consider for a moment: The republicans have already resorted to vote fraud in both the 2000 and 2004 elections, engaged in illegal redistricting in Texas in order to gain more seats in the House of Representatives, and propagated the most vile smear campaigns against Democratic party candidates at all levels, just to name a few things. Now consider that the republicans have to know that the Democrats stand a very good chance of regaining the upper hand in both the House and the Senate in the up-coming elections. If this happens, the Democrats will have subpoena powers to compel the release of documents that will undoubtedly show the world exactly what kind of thuggery the republicans have been engaged in. The republicans have to know that impeachment procedures will be initiated in the Senate against President Bush for his crimes against, and lies to the American people. These things being true, I am very concerned about what the republicans will be willing to do (and what they are per...
