A Sad Day in American History

The mood around the city was very somber yesterday. People looked shocked and bewildered, as though trying to make sense out of how things could have gone so wrong. But there is no mystery as to what happened. The Christians put him back in office.

Despite the fact that George Bush lied to the American people about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,
Despite the fact that he lied to us about Iraqi links to Al Qaeda,
Despite the fact that he lied to us repeatedly about conditions in Iraq, including the Abu Grahib prison scandal,
Despite the fact that he continues to tell us that he has made America and the world a safer place when terrorist attacks worldwide have increased,
Despite the fact that his administration’s planning for the war in Iraq was, at best, incompetent, in that we didn't have enough soldiers on the ground to do the job, we didn't have the proper body armor/equipment armor, we never secured the borders thereby allowing thousands of foreign terrorist fighters to stream into Iraq,
Despite the fact that this president has made America a laughingstock among the nations to the point where we are so alienated in the world that no one really wants to help us, at all, to do anything,
Despite the fact that American energy policy was developed in closed-door sessions exclusively with cronies and friends,
Despite the fact that George Bush had the interests of the Saudi Royal Family in mind over the interests of the American people after the 9/11 attacks, when he let a whole planeload of Osama bin Laden's family leave American airspace,
Despite these and many other things, the Christians with their myopic world view, have put George Bush back in office because, by god, we can't have the faggots getting married and we damn sure can't have women in charge of their own bodies.

But hey, I'm not bitter, and if you ask, I'll tell you how I really feel....

Bob Newhart - Comic Genius Passes Away

 A true comic genius has passed away today. One of the first comedy albums I remember listening to as a child is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." 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.

Our Anthem

As you know, dear readers, I am loathe to agree with President Bush on anything; but I'm afraid that I must when it comes to our National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. Perhaps it is a sign that, at forty years of age, I am in fact an old curmudgeon. Perhaps my view denotes a bit of xenophobia on my part, but I cannot lie, I do not think there should be a Spanish language version of the Anthem. As far as the whole immigration issue goes, I think our borders need to be strengthened and illegals kept out. I believe it is a national security issue. I sympathize with those immigrants, both legal and illegal, who say that they are not terrorists. But if we cannot secure our borders against illegal immigrants, no matter how benign their reasons for entering this country, how can we expect that our borders are safe against those who really do mean to do us harm? Illegals and Taxes Illegal immigrants argue that they are in fact paying taxes. But those are just local sales taxes that all...
