from Barbara Bush’s new biography

Elvis Costello’s career has taken so many left turns since his new-wave beginnings that it’s nearly more surprising to hear him record a rock record these days than one of his many excursions in other genres. But Momofuku returns him to his band the Imposters– their first in a while, and likely the sort of record most of his fans have been waiting for. continue review here

While our soldiers are dying for a useless cause in Iraq George W. Bush has revealed how he has been doing his part to support the troops since 2003. How has the commander in lies supported the troops? Not by giving them adequate equipment or proper troop levels or much needed leave. No….George W. Bush supports the troops he sends to die in Iraq by abstaining from playing golf. Imagine! Bush has given up golf! What a noble gesture! How much more shallow and useless could George W. Bush be? He is a public embarrassment. Our soldiers are giving their lives every day for Bush’s illegal oil grab in Iraq and the best he can do to support them is to give up a game he wasn’t very adept at to begin with.

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

KING RICHARD THE LYIN-HEARTED AND

THE CLOWN PRINCE

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.”
