Simply give every citizen of Iraq 500k each, everybody is happy with money, right King George? Part of it could be underwritten by dissolving your buddies at Halliburton, Bechtel, Blackwater and their fellow war profiteer's corporate holdings. Maybe with a "signing statement" smuggled into a Social Security overhaul bill? I don't know if the Democrats can still balance the budget by 2012 but honestly, who cares!? Later, to stem any superfluous sectarian violence, just after George Bush is impeached (followed immediately by Dick Cheney's impeachment under nearly identical charges) we can send them both to Baghdad for their own war crimes trials and executions. Everyone’s happy!
This would be the best 100 "days" the Democrats have to offer! Either do it now or do it right after the Chimp’s "surge" announcement. If the Democrats really want to closely resemble heroes, then that's what will begin immediately after Bush's "new" and ridiculous plan. If the Democrats want a truly historical and poignant victory, this is the true path to the renewal of the American system and the American ideal. Deal with this first then deal with the other less formidable flaws in our system. George W. Bush is the biggest threat to peace and rationality on Earth. This is not something to be ignored!
Is it finally time to call this fool out and do what must be done to save not only out "Democracy" but to save outr Democracy's face in our negative influence upon an ever more turbulent world? The man and his minions should be called by and to justice, called to justice by the people they are supposed to be serving! Why doesn't everyone see this yet? Zombies awake, your world has been maligned by this idiot and half of you don't even know it! Turning this fool on his ear is your first and only true redeeming feature as a free nation in the 21st century!
Heil Halston! I'm glad there are more stark words against these "Christians". They are a dangerous bunch by nature and the sheep are always more than eager to please! Thus, the Sinclair Lewis quote: "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross". It looks like the thinking folks are on the same page here. Religion is great, keep your faith to yourself and I'll do the same then we won't have any trouble getting along splendidly.
Hack, hack... Insert random excerpts from "My Pet Goat", The Bill-O show and Capricorn One as D'Snooza's theories and you can come up with all manner of spin on how Islamic extremists were "provoked" into slamming planes into American buildings. If you want my theory then this guy is a pathetic hack in serious need of some polemic guaifenesin for that hacking: the "blame" of 9/11 lies upon the perpetrators.
I love the show. I don't watch anything offered by the 3 major networks (sorry FOX, you're nothing but a Baby Ruth in the pool). Silverman's commercial for the show in which she laments "since the brutal murder of Amy Sedaris" is the end all truth in my book as far as women in comedy shows. You know what they say about opinions. The "rule" applies perfectly to your review!
but I have to say it:
Heck of a job there Bushie! Heck of a job..
Britney just needs a part-time job at the Jack in the Box and the necessity to find a way to live on less than 25K renting a shitty apartment in Southern California. That would fix her biggest problems in a snap. No people I know cry out for help by shaving their heads and getting a tattoo or for that matter have a mile of money. Britney needs to volunteer at hospice care, volunteer for community outreach, basket weave, do something with her life besides be the rich/poor white trash girl media spectacle she has chosen to become! There are so many people in this world with real problems and not just a total lack of personal responsibility that I really don't have an ounce sympathy. I will be glad to send her an employment application for Jack in the Box and an apartment guide for East San Diego!
I've "hated" Britney since I saw her clips in Fahrenheit 9/11. When I was her age I made less than 20K a year, became an insulin dependant diabetic, went through a shitty break-up with my "adulterous" significant bummer (whom I was so blindly in love with), filed bankruptcy (everything we "owned" was in my name), had a dead end job basically taking a bath in Acetone, Chlorinated Solvents, Acid vapors and DiBenzyl Diselenide (a real goodie as exposure can and did cause severe depression and I was already clinically and depressed in situ), had nothing but a HS education under my belt but, guess what? I picked myself up every day and helped other people along the way! Anybody wanna feel sorry for me? I didn't think so. So sorry Britney.
I don't think anybody posted something that everybody else wasn't already thinking. I'd rather see Cheney in an orange jumpsuit being waterboarded with no possibility of a trial than have him being mercifully blown up. Copy and Paste that!
I quit smoking ~ 12 years ago with the help of a program that taught you to embrace your cravings/withdrawal or whatever you want to call it. In the course you chose to have the feeling to train your mind and heal your body. Other than a few "smoking dreams" over the years (equivalent to a recovered alcoholic's drinking dream) that left me feeling like I had failed myself, I have noticed no adverse health effects from not smoking. Addiction provides an never ending list of excuses to fail and this account reads very similarly to that endless list.
