Article XXVI
Blowjob: Receive a gobber from an intern.

Nope, not on there.

I think the tomato recall is the one we should push.

The e. coli in the spinach? Popeye, one of the US's most vital forms of defence from terror ("Sinbad" is a goddamn Arabic name!) was left severely crippled by this, and was forced to resort to outdated technology, namely, sniffing onions.

Lies, damnedable lies.

Well, (his) Supremes have overturned the DC handgun ban, so perhaps someone will use one on him.

Or is he on vacation?

he is, perpetually.

For a president who prides the fact that he's a "Wartime President^tm", to have spent more time on vacation than any president before him ought to be added to the list.

We've seen this

quote:

Current and former military and intelligence officials said that the war in Iraq consistently diverted resources and high-level attention from the tribal areas. When American military and intelligence officials requested additional Predator drones to survey the tribal areas, they were told no drones were available because they had been sent to Iraq.

from here.

So his policy directly contributed to Bin Laden's freedom. Aiding the enemy, even indirectly, really ought to piss off the public. Where's the outrage? We could've had him in 2001, but apparently didn't want to bother capturing or even killing him. We'd rather invade a country we'd already bombed the fuck out of.

Great. Good for us.

quote:

Behind the general's order was a broader feeling of outrage within the military — at a terror war that had been outsourced to an unreliable ally, and at the grim fact that America's most deadly enemy had become stronger.

oh, there it is.

quote:

"The United States faces a threat from Al Qaeda today that is comparable to what it faced on Sept. 11, 2001," said Seth Jones, a Pentagon consultant and a terrorism expert at the RAND Corporation.

"The base of operations has moved only a short distance, roughly the difference from New York to Philadelphia."

Articles? How about whole issues?

He's the manifestation of our zeitgeist, he's the Spuds Mckenzie of our inability to cope with obsolescence. We look at him and laugh/rage in self-defense. We are all scared and confused about what life after supremacy means. We're all scared about a world where we aren't on top.

We'll get over it. Our children are laughing at us even now.

We shouldn't blame Bush, this is our fault.

Boojum!

In the Barrister's dream , the Snark not only serves as judge and jury (like Fury in regard to the Mouse in Alice) but acts as the counsel for the defense as well, besides finding the verdict and passing the sentence.

I'm surprised they didn't mention Goebbels...you know, if you keep repeating a lie often enough...

Probably didn't want people to know just how much they learned from that crowd during the Argentina years...

Seriously, Bush is our problem. There aren't many people who tried to oust him. There haven't been many anti-war protests.

Bush is here because we don't (for the most part) care enough to make him go away.

Bush has done what he has done to this country and the world because we could not, as a people, be bothered to make him stop.

We had our moccachinos and Mc Squirrel Burgers and iPods and really, in principle we cared, but in reality we really didn't.

We went on message boards and complained, we didn't, you know, write our congressman or whatever.

Seriously, how much have you done to get rid of Bush?

I didn't do Jack Shit.

Bush is one of the hydra's many heads. If he were as responsible as you give him credit for, he's way smarter than I am willing to believe. He is us. When we ought to have been setting fires and raging, we were led like sheep into a false war, for false men.

Not sheep and not really led so much as only interested if it was free to us.

"Oh, you want to do what now? And I don't have to get drafted or recycle steel cans? Well, OK then. This won't interfere with American Idol, will it?"

But is this wishful thinking - was Rome's fall actually inevitable? I've argued myself against 'great men' theories; on long timescales the likes of Valens and Varus are irrelevant, and geography and economics exert profound influences. --Stephen Baxter, Other Romes

(Switch out Rome with USA, Valens and Varus with your favorite politico).

I think Digg* and Metacritic are good models for the future of "democracy the concept". I like to call it "packet government" -- everything open and voted into life or death by the collective keyboards of the world.

There will be an America after Bush.

We're just, understandably, scared.

Bush makes pirates look like fuckin' amatures. This guy is amazing.
