The very thought of another Bush reproducing scares the hell out of me!

KING RICHARD THE LYIN-HEARTED AND

THE CLOWN PRINCE

Ye Olde Scribe’s Incredible, Inedible, Quote Machine
“Turning out the Inedible, but Interesting, for at Least Eight Blog Years.”

“(Junior’s)… no moron. He just plays one.”

“(Junior’s) …legacy may well be: amongst other more obvious horrors, reviving the old U.S.S.R.”

Simply “Super” (Sarcasm Intended)

Since the writer strike has been starving us all of the usual grand (sic) burnt offerings, ABC, NBC, ABC, Pubic Broadcasting, and Scribe’s “beloved,” “unfair and very mentally unbalanced” FLOX, decided to offer programming given to them for free by the DLC. You probably didn’t notice you were watching these “super;” not so mellow, melodramas.

Super Woman 08

Super powers: superior fighting abilities through tossing her not so secret weapon; dung fu.

Weaponry: sharp spear that has two points; one to stab at an opponent in the same party and one for real opponents to push back on. Works best in reverse.

A “Better” Base Who Supports her superherodumb: now new and “improved,” and mostly energized by lower class white power. My, oh my, and the same category filled with Lush Dimbulb listeners who were told to vote for her just to royally screw things up. Ain’t that a co-winky-dink?

Sidekick: Husband; you know the one who has helped even his friends stick a knife in his own back for the past 16 years.

Super Man 08

“Super” powers: a semi fine command of the English language and the ability to talk enemies to death. Well, it worked the last presidential election, right? (Possible response by his base when this is a pointed out: “What? Why did you say a Black man can’t talk?”

Weaponry: his magic calming ray that gets everyone together and stop fighting each and moves the country forward. Warning: this weapon has yet to be proven effective except amongst supporters. Possible response by his base when this is pointed out: “What? Why are you saying a Black man is always inept?”

His “better” Base: “Don’t you dare even hint at criticizing him.”

Sidekick: “What, you saying a Black man has to have someone to do his work for him? You saying they’re all lazy?”

Not seen, the real arch villain: Junior. He won’t even bother to walk on the set. The reprogrammed McCain bot will do it for him.

Scribe’s note: ain’t TV grand? Almost as “inspiring” as how we treat each other.

Bush Campaign Promise – “I’ll Lower The Price Of Oil”

The Facts

In June of 2000 George Bush promised to lower the price of gasoline (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A03E4D71030F93BA15755C0A9669C8B63&scp=20&sq=bush+oil+prices&st=nyt)

“through sheer force of personality”. His plan was to create enough “good will” with OPEC that they would willingly increase output thereby decreasing the price of crude oil. When he said that he was in the process of telling the country how terrible Bill Clinton and the Democrats had muddled up our foreign relations.

My View

Ok, first question, Georgie Boy; what happened? Oil has gone from $35 per barrel to $128.00 dollars per barrel, and gasoline has gone from $1.70 to nearly $4 and more per gallon since you made that campaign promise. Personally, I don’t think America can afford anymore of your “good will” and “bubbling personality”. Maybe that, along with all your other screw-ups over the past seven and a half years, is why your approval rating is down to 28%. And we all know who those 28% are; employees at Fox News, all those wealthy people, and all those big corporations, especially the oil companies. Congratulations on your accomplishments, “Mr.” President.

FOCUS | “For Blackwater It’s Business as Usual”

James Risen reports for The New York Times: “Last fall, Blackwater Worldwide was in deep peril. Guards for the security company were involved in a shooting in September that left at least 17 Iraqis dead at a Baghdad intersection. Outrage over the killings prompted the Iraqi government to demand Blackwater’s ouster from the country, and led to a criminal investigation by the FBI, a series of internal investigations by the State Department and the Pentagon, and high-profile Congressional hearings. But after an intense public and private lobbying campaign, Blackwater appears to be back to business as usual.”

Laura Bush Holds Press Conference on Myramarr Deaths And Jenna’s Wedding!

A White House press conference given by First Lady Laura Bush took a bizarre and insensitive twist when the focus of the conference, the devastation wrought by a powerful cyclone in Myanmar,

switched to Jenna Bush’s upcoming wedding.

FOCUS | Iraq: Will We Ever Get Out?

Thomas Powers writes in The New York Review of Books: “There is a working assumption among the American people that a new president enters the White House free of responsibility for the errors of the past, free to set a new course in any program or policy, and therefore free - at the very least in constitutional theory, and perhaps even really and truly free - to call off a war begun by a predecessor. No one would expect something so dramatic on the first day of a new administration but it remains a fact that the president is the commander in chief of the armed forces, and the power that allowed one president to invade Iraq would allow another to bring the troops home.”

Where Government is Tiny, Everything is Privatized, and the Free Market rules… 

“Hello, this is the Little Big National Neighborhood Bank that really cares about you! How can I help you?” 

“Well, first of all, you could ‘care about me’ by not making me wait through 30 minutes of canned music to talk to a real person.” 

“Sorry, sir, but we’re very busy here taking care of all our happy customers!” 

“Yeah? Well, I’m not one of them.” 

“What can I do to make you one?” 

“Last night I took out $60 bucks from one of your ATM’s and I noticed I was charged $1.50 for the withdrawal.” 

“That’s right, sir, that’s our standard ATM transaction fee.” 

“But fifteen years ago when you converted to the ATM machines, you said it would cut costs for the bank and the savings and convenience would be passed on to the customer. Back then, all transactions at any ATM were free!” 

“That’s right, sir. Aren’t the ATM’s so much more convenient than coming into the bank to withdraw cash?” 

“But wait a minute here — about eight years ago you said you were going to start charging an ATM transaction fee of a dollar, but only at other banks’ machines; your ATM’s would stay free.” 

“Yes, sir – what’s the problem with that?” 

“Aside from the fact that the fee to use an ATM from any other bank has steadily risen so it’s up to $3.00 a pop, now I’m getting charged $1.50 a transaction from your own ATM’s that used to be free!” ”Yes, sir, well, our fees have to keep up with inflation.” 

“But I just read that your bank made a record profit last year! Why not take a little less profit and show how much you ‘care’ about your customers by keeping the ATM transactions free?! I’ve been putting my money in your bank for twenty years!” 

“I’m sorry you feel that way, sir. We want to keep you as our customer, but if you’re so dissatisfied with our service, perhaps you can find another bank that does not charge this ATM fee. After all, it’s a free market and that guarantees competitive prices!” 

“I’ve already called around to every bank in the area – they’re ALL charging $1.50 to use their ATM’s. What do you guys do, get into a room and decide how much you’re going to shear us sheep?”
