17. It's important for all right-wing white men to feel like their way of life
isn't threatened. So some soldiers will die to make sure the world is free for Americans to go shopping.

2. I sure hope he doesn't fall overboard and become tangled in the propeller and then
attacked by sharks. Especially since he ain't wearing a life preserver.

31. Well okay I believe it, and they have done this numerous times before
...with Pappy Bush. I'm surprised Pappy isn't weeping on the decks, must be the ocean air or really good anti-depressants/ anxiety drugs.

The whole fucking Bush family are total phonies and hypocrites. Pappy is actually worse then all the rest. What an actor!

the third guy in the picture? Is Alberto baiting their hooks for them?

My thoughts would be busy busy hatching If I only had a brain"

15. Parasitic administration. (reposting again, here)
As I woke this morning, the word "parasite" was in my mind.

Bush/Cheney are a parasite on America. With the help of previous parasitic administrations the country was numbed down to the level below which they would react. And then the parasite took control. Now almost nothing gets our attention.


Numbing can take two stages. Repealing of the Fairness Doctrine helped to make an unbalanced and unfair media. In other words, they lie to us. The other is to make politics so ugly that no one will pay attention. That is happening to me right now. For the first time in years I can look at the Greatest page and see topics I know nothing about. And I don't care enough about. It's sick. It's the opposite of how it should be in a healthy world. We should be thrilled that the money we earn to give to the government actually is going toward things that help us.

And the parasite is obvious. Halliburtons. And not so obvious. Changing the political metabolism of the country so that the parasite may continue on unabated.

19. "This is a blank check," he said.
"This is a blank check," he said. Congress is ceding, lock, and barrel, its power to declare war -handing it over to a chief executive. Congress might as well just shut the door and put a sign up there that says, 'Going fishing.'"

Senator Byrd in October 2002...

23. Oh, so he's back to his east coast elite life from whence he came
Sipping white wine spritzers in Kennebunkport. He's probably wearing his Bermuda shorts without socks, too.

24. Who fishes in button-down shirts, khakis, and a belt?
Why, "fishermen" who hire someone else to touch the bait, that's who.

36. What do you bet the belt was made in China?
I kind of doubt that Poppy bought the belt himself. He probably got it from Bar-Bar or lil Bush. Bar-Bar and Junior seem to the ones who more concerned with appearance than substance.

38. Agreed--it's pretty tacky. Looks like an import. And you're right about
Bar and Jr.--at least Poppy has demonstrated SOME love for this country in the past (especially as a fly-boy in WW2). Wife and son just rode on his past honor and decency.

the presidential seal.

Runs in the family, no?

Betcha *'s off to Crawford again soon after this, to live in his fantasy world some more. :eyes:

Notice how Poppy's mouth is hanging wiiiide open in that first shot? Maybe he got a peek at his boy's latest approval ratings!!!
