[fooj]

4. Yep. He's been insulting us from day one.

:grr:

[Acryliccalico]

[Radio_Lady]

6. "The emperor doesn't have any clothes on!" exclaimed more than 1/2 the

population.

[NMMNG]

7. It *was* a good year

For the uber-rich, who got billions in tax cuts,

The corporations, who benefit greatly from corporate-welfare programs,

Big-oil,

B*sh's cronies,

Etc.

[Kool Kitty]

8. Exactly.

A FAAABUULOUSSSS year for rich white folks.

[NMMNG]

9. Which is why B*sh thinks it was a good year

He is a rich white folk, and is so removed from reality that he cannot fathom that probably 80% of the American population is suffering in one way or another. Worse yet, they are screwed directly or indirectly as a result of his administrations policies and ineptitude. Out of control fuel bills, higher gasoline prices, unemployment/underemployment, inadequate/non-existent health insurance, substandard education--you name it. :-(

10. You said it, Buffy.

Every New Year I think, oh, next year HAS to be better-it can't get worse. I don't think that this year. (I love your vegetarian sig!)

[NMMNG]

12. Thank you

I got it at Peta2. I liked it because it was non-proselytizing, plus it is very cute.



Every New Year I think, oh, next year HAS to be better-it can't get worse. I don't think that this year.


I agree. Everybody, even many of Chimpy's former fans, has become much more realistic. We realize things just aren't what they were, and probably won't ever be, at least not for a very long time. :-(

11. Compared to the first four days of 2006, last year was great for Junior.

This year, though,.... Not so much. Very cloudy. Chance of indictments, resignations, convictions and a seismic shift in Congress in the first week of November. Soon to be followed by impeachment proceedings and in-depth investigations with more indictments and convictions to follow.

:toast:

[Bluebear]

13. Well, now THAT is true.

I hope he waxes nostalgic for 2005 every minute!

[localroger]

14. Well I guess it WAS a Goodyear

At first I thought it might have been a Firestone, but when they caught the truck that ran us all down it did in fact have Goodyear tires. Matches the tread on our foreheads real well.

15. He needs to lay off the cocaine...2005 WAS HORRID for us nm

16. Among the pictures I'd like to see in 206;
