Freudian slip or just typical bushism? Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people — and neither do we. – George W Bush, 8/5/2004 In the last few days, friends have sent me a few amusing Bush “quotations” that,… Continue reading Quote of the Week

This could be scary. Capitol Hill Blue, quoting “administration aides” and “White House Sources” in a July 28 story, reports that Bush is taking powerful anti-depressant drugs. So far, a Google News search only turns up the Capitol Hill Blue story and a few others that refer to it. According to the story: The prescription… Continue reading Bush on Drugs?

I suppose anybody that dabbles in amateur political commentary should have something to say about the Democratic convention and John Kerry’s official coronation as the party’s candidate. But what’s left to say that hasn’t already been said? I could babble about my own mixed feelings about Kerry, but I think I’ve made that clear before.… Continue reading Political Irony

OK … the stinking fascist intolerant rabid hate-mongering closed-minded illiterate Gestapo thought police in this country have gone too far. We’ve had to listen to assholes like Toby Keith, Darryl Worley, Charlie Daniels, etc. spew filthy lies and racist hatred, while at the same time listen to criticism of “liberal Hollywood celebrities” who dare to… Continue reading Let Freedom Ring – Let Linda Sing

With Bush gathering support from the “religious right” (which many people say is neither) for being a “man of faith”, Dewar compares Bush’s pious words with his cruel, dishonest, hypocritical actions. It would be nice if all those who praise Bush for his “moral… Continue reading Who would Jesus torture?

But reports are circulating among sources such as The Daily Mislead about Seymour Hersh’s recent speech to the ACLU. Hersh, who has previously proven to be a very reliable source on the Abu Ghraib prison… Continue reading The worst is…the boys shrieking

Okay, this item is definitely back in the political arena. Thanks to my friend Liza (and my mother’s doctor … is that a strange source for warped humor?) for passing along this gem, forwarded umptysome times from some unknown source. Sing along to this one – you know the tune!! Black gold that is!

With Dubya’s approval rates sinking to record lows, and polls showing him behind Kerry, is there any doubt that his gang will pull the same kind of vote-stealing shenanigans they did four years ago? Well, maybe they won’t. Apparently they have a fallback plan in case he gets so far behind it doesn’t even look… Continue reading If you can’t steal it, cancel it?

I’m lazy and haven’t posted anything here recently. Somebody sent this to me and I thought it was funny. So here it is. How many Bush administration officials does it take to change a light bulb? The answer is seven.

This is insane. A University of Buffalo art professor’s wife dies of cardiac arrest; the police decide his art supplies are bioterrorism weapons; and they confiscate his wife’s body. My only reaction is incoherent sputtering that doesn’t translate well to the written word. You’ll have to read the story yourself.
