A long hot, bitter piss in Ronald Reagan's Face

by slippytoad

Eighteen months ago, I relieved myself in Karl Rove's Cheerios on the morning of a resounding Democratic victory in Congress. It was a great relief because a lot of pent up distress was finally done. The conversation of "what is America doing?" finally got away from topics chosen by George W. Bush and his no-talent assclown friends. But it was a short-lived relief. Soon I was being disapointed in ways I had only previously dreamed of as Nancy "Offtabler" Pelosi quickly cleared her workspace of any instruments that might be seen as a threat to the minority party whose asses her constituencies had just kicked out of power.

Today I come before you after a steady evening's drinking of vinegar and asparagus, bladder once again swollen and tender, to relieve myself in a different way as we contemplate the REAL closing of a sordid chapter in American Politics. And how things have changed in that time. The price of oil, for example. The value of the dollar. Sure, there's hope. And it's a good thing, or I would be beside myself right now at what's become of our nation.

slippytoad's diary :: ::
I told my very conservative boss, during the run up to the 2000 election, that I thought George W. Bush's nomination (before it happened) would kill the Republican Party. I said "If he gets to be President, he's going to be the last Republican President ever. He's got such a history of screwups behind him that he's got no chance in hell of being adequately prepared to run this country. And when he's done screwing it up, no Republican will be able to run for President after him."

I was mocked. There were those of us who mocked right back.

4. Yup, it is a fun read, indeed! Love it!
Here's a fun whole web site on Bush and the South American Left, that I turn to for solace and refreshment, when I get really depressed about these topics.

www.BoRev.net.

The wonderful thing that happens in the human mind, when a truly funny thing is said about a truly awful thing, is going to get these fuckwads, in the end. Humor will triumph!

it's cosmic because I mentioned Grover (although not that Grover) and the Muppets in the Manliest President Thread the other day, that's what I love about the Internet!

Thanks for the thread, Joanne.

6. Reagan was transformational
We should not let our passions ignore the fact that Reagan was a transformational figure.

That's the fifth nakedly right-wing troll post I've read from you.

10. In one sense I agree, just as I believe that if you don't

take penicillin, Venereal Disease becomes transformational. Reagan was a direct result of white racism backlash against the Civil Rights movement, he just happened to have a smilie face attached to it. He was the first to reward the corporate media with their monopoly on information, and they rewarded a pre-Alzheimer's ridden President as being the "Great Communicator".

I believe Reagen would go on to prove the adage of "you are what you think" in that he eloquently stated that "government is the problem". He would spend the vast majority of his eight years in power proving him self correct as he exploded the national debt and set the stage for even worse to come.

The same man that railed against "big government" did his best in eliminating any pretense to individual privacy with his asinine Orwellian "War Against Drugs". Today the U.S. has a growing private industry that profits from the imprisonment of the American People and the land of the free has the world's largest prison population; 2.4 million people, even outstripping Russia and China.

9. It was a great visual
Why do they bury Republican leaders under Granite slabs?

Because the urine kills the grass.
