2. Good article
Sounds about right.

That "Western White House" BS is too much.

8. Only fitting for Free Market Stalinists like the Busheviks.
Oh my yes. So much of Imperial Amerika is now an Orwellian Virtual Reality.

And these are the "Good Old Days".

If these shadows remain unaltered by the future and the Bushevik Empire is born in a gush of sickly ochre, that is exactly the case. The poor bastards alive in the Amerikan Empire, circa 2100 will certainly refer to these days (if they are even allowed to learn about it in "Bushstory Class") as the "Good Old Days".

And they will hate us...for what we had...what we so spinelessly gave away with nary a whimper.

5. So typical
It reminds me of the way we were supposed to believe that Poppy's favorite food was pork rinds. Complete bullshit meant to show he's not a wimp.

15. hey now
Reagan was a lot of things, but he really did own that property for years before starting his political career, and it really was his second home. And he really did split a lot of the rails and stuff. He also looked a whole hell of a lot more comfortable there that * does in Crawford.

Also, what does everyone in the 1500 miles WEST of Crawford think about this being the Western White House? Mid-Western more likely. Not that Chimpy has ever shown a damn for any of the states west of Texas (or those East, come to think of it.)

12. Snuckered?
This is a good article that I hope gets more attention but my dictionary doesn't include the word "snuckered". Suckered, and snookered are there but no snuckered.

16. Part of the reason Lisa named her site allhatnocattle
Edited on Wed Aug-06-03 03:07 PM by Noordam


From Lisa's Site

"Texans have a phrase "All Hat and no cattle." This phrase applies to pretend cowboys that dress and talk the part, but are pretending to be what they aren't.

I once heard Ann Richards describe her opponent in the Texas Governor's race as All Hat No Cattle. Her opponent was George W. Bush. When I needed a name for this website, that phrase immediately came to mind.

The list below contains other similar phrases you might find laughable.

Lisa Casey - Cartoonist"
