| 66. Because he tells the truth and isn't good looking enough |

Which kinda sometimes makes me blame America. (I know that's the medias fault to a big degree but still..Bush and Cheney deserve to be impeached-he's the only one to bring it up-the country dies before our eyes and he's not PRETTY enough-and he's too TRUTHFUL-because bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahde fucking bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh people in this country might have to look at their ugly ass faces in the mirror and realize yeah, Mr. America I am an enabler-I am the REASON fascism came to town)
I'm channeling some Bruce Springsteen there. Your own worst enemy has come to town.
It's us. Our fear. Our letting things go. Our not being in the streets risking our very lives to have a real open government and not a one paid for by war, made by war, and dying by war.
