The Nightmare Really is Over.
I love The Onion.

I think this article just about says it all. Scary!!!
Learning to love Big Brother
George W. Bush channels George Orwell in the San Francisco Chronicle.
One thing this piece points out is why we don't hear more of this (stating what is obvious to those of us paying attention) in mainstream media. Sometimes it's easier to look at scary things with a little humor.

Sometimes I sit and think to myself that everyone who voted for Duh (or Nader) deserve the losses they accrue due to Dummya's occupation of the White House. They do. What about the rest of us? Most of us probably won't even come out with an "I told you so" to people we tried to warn. Too bad. I'm sure most folks wouldn't hear it anyway. Between their rationalization and their projection, there probably won't even be much of a learning process for most of them (and I don't even want to think about their displacement and their reaction formation).
I've been waiting for Al Gore to really chime in. It's about time he said, "I told you so." I'm tempted to say such to a few people I warned as well.

I'm no big George Michael fan, but watch his new
"banned" video!!! That stupid laugh slays me! It shows Duh as a buffoon who needs his foreign policy explained to him by a sock puppet. Britain's Tony Blair plays Bush's little puppy dog.

I was just thinking of people who voted for Duh and qualities about those folks who led them to do such a thing. In my mind the groups must be divided by descending numbers into the following: stupid, ignorant, misdirected, presbyopic (elderly in Florida), myopic (well, I guess that actually describes all who weren't presbyopic and kind of fits in there with ignorance), and greedy (or any combination of the above). Defense mechanisms are interesting. Rationalization will be the big one for anyone still saying they'd vote for him again (for any of those who don't fall into the stupid or ignorant categories). I wish I had all the emails I sent to family and friends in 2000 telling them the potential for all that has already transpired if Bush was (s)elected (many of my worst nightmares). I'd be tempted to say, "I told you so," but that doesn't help matters.
George W. Bush...I didn't vote for you when I lived in Texas in either gubernatorial race (still can't believe you beat Ann Richards) or for your run for White House Resident in the 2000 Selection after we left Austin (where I was employed by a TX state agency for from '96 to '00 and didn't like your impact on policy there) and came to California (where I thought maybe I would be done with hearing from you). I didn't vote for your daddy either (although I saw him once at Molina's in Houston and he was rather personable to my friends & me; much more personable than your momma). I never even voted for any of your daddy's bosses.
As for the folks who voted for Nader...I believe most were well-intentioned. If I lived in a state where there was an obvious sweep for one of the others, I may have voted for him myself. But I blame some of what will happen during Duh's term on him. Nader should have taken his name out of the running in states where numbers were close. I also blame the folks in those states who didn't have enough snap or didn't care and voted for Nader anyway. Nader's crusade continues as he goes into states to support Green Party candidates who will prevent an incumbent Democrat from regaining a seat. If Nader succeeds, Duh, et al will own your ass.

Have you ever noticed that the Olsen Twins look like the gelfins in the Dark Crystal?
This is a post from July 7, 2002 that was wiped out. Thank you, Blogger.
Okay, on the tube early today we saw some ad or PSA or something for one of those international hungry children funds. I thought of something people should have available to contribute to before there are more hungry children. I think there should be an International Vasectomy Fund. It could later become the International Sterilization Fund, but starting off with vasectomies would involve lower expenses, less risk, less technology, less manpower, etc. and is reasonable since men have greater biological capacity for increasing the population and are generally less likely to use contraception. It is a physician's office procedure, only requires a local and recovery period is very short. Well, it's less radical than The Church of Euthanasia.
