Middle Finger Response

Because this census indicates and this atlas has related
3 billion humans I haven't irritated.
I've got a lot of work to do.
3 billion people. That's 3 billion snotty fuck yous.

And I was going to avoid politics . . . I was kind of hoping deep down that perchance this Obama character would be a little Lincoln-esque. An outstanding orator from Illinois who believes in equality, freedom, and only blowing the shit out of those who deserve it. I was hoping he would change the tone of our country and return us mildly respecting one another at least until we have had a few beers in a Packers bar. I hope that I am not so far from the truth as I am afraid I may be.

But as it stands now this is what we have. We not only do not respect ourselves as fellow Americans but we seem to go out of our way to insult other countries. We insult their leaders and we insult their culture. It's always been a little fun to mock the French but if you pass a law mocking them you best be careful to not get caught trying to Freedom Kiss an undercover cop in the shitter (bathroom not . . never mind). Now it would be hysterical in a David Lynch film but in real life it gets embarrassing.

No reports from any U.S. sources (fancy that) but look what is in the London Telegraph today.

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

Mr. Bush, you are an arrogant, thoughtless, evil, hateful, destructive son of a bitch who deserves impeachment. Seriously. Everyone figures it is a waste of time because you are limited in time left in office. I say it would send a message to the rest of the world that we are sorry. I think it may make future presidents of the United States a little weary of doing illegal shit in office. I think it would prevent the biggest, most insulting line of pardons America has yet to see.

We just have to do it for actual illegal activities that he has committed. This may be another reason he will not be impeached. Maybe folks in the government do not want us to know how bad it has gotten. How little work they did researching a war, energy practices, the Patriot Act, FISA, and a tally of other gotchas.

That is why Hope may win this election. 15% of Hope succeeding is better than 4 more years of this:

Mr Bush also faced criticism at the summit after Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, was described in the White House press pack given to journalists as one of the "most controversial leaders in the history of a country known for government corruption and vice".

God save America.
