Another Repugnican Brain Cell Flickers On

I wonder why Congresswoman Heather Wilson (R-NM) hates our freedom?

Dumbya's Legacy - And Designing the Iraqnam Vets Memorial on the Mall

Dear Dumbya

Here's a belated Holiday present for you Dumbya

http://www.nytimes.com/ref/us/20061228_3000FACES_TAB1.html

Train First Laura to click the little buttons 3,000 times for you so that you can see the faces and learn a bit about the background of each of the 3,000 American kids who have died a senseless death in Iraqnam because of you and your egotistical lies.

Quite the accomplishment I'd say.

One thing I found interesting is that there is nobody named Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz or Pearle in this compilation. I guess the people who make the wars dont have to send their own to fight them? Sort of like when daddy got you out of VietNam?

I hope you're really proud Dumbya.

Have you and the Iraq Study Group in the White House given any thought to design of the Iraqnam Veterans Memorial that will some day have to be constructed on the Mall? I once thought that it should be a replica of an oil derrick with the names of each kid hanging from the lattice work of the structure. However that was before you declared the mission to be accomplished in Iraqnam (I think you had only killed about 100 or so kids by that time).

Now that we have 3,000 (and the number increases daily) I think something different is needed. My new design is a statute of you Dumbya. Complete with a towering dunce hat on your head. Then the names of each of the 10,000's of thousands of American kids who are going to die in Iraq now that your WMD buddy Saddam was wasted, should be inscribed on the side of the dunce hat. Sort of like the way all the 57,000 names are on the wall at the Vietnam Vets memorial.

It seems a fitting memorial to the kids you killed, to your administration, and to the foolish neocons like William Kristol (none of whom ever stepped foot in a military battle) who promoted you and your lies for this noble cause in Iraqnam.

Have a happy new year Dumbya. And go Cheney yourself.

A Non-Winter Winter Day in Michigan

This just in from a friend in Lansing Michigan in response to a post in a birder blog about Spring Beauties and Skunk Cabbage in bloom on December 31 in northern Virginia


Speaking of which, at this moment, on the WINTER day of DECEMBER 31, it is pouring rain in buckets here, with lightning and thunder, temp 45. Given my stupidity and gullibility, I'd be normally inclined to fear something was amiss. But, thanks to the rigorous scientific research done by Senator James Inhofe, R-OK, and his stellar, renowned research climatologist/atmospheric scientist/physicist/novelist buddy Michael Crichton, and important truthful information I've received from Exxon-Mobil and brilliant human being Rush Limbaugh, I know that's not the case. Nope, this is merely normal Lansing, Michigan, December 31 weather. No one need be concerned in the least!!

And, above all, imagine our tremendous good fortune to have such brilliant, highly intelligent, well educated leaders as Sen. Inhofe! A leader brilliant enough to select top drawer scientific advisors like Mr. Crichton! God DAM, we are truly blessed! If only more people would appreciate Sen. Inhofe's diligent efforts on our behalf, we could stamp out the scourge of "environmentalism" as religion!

You Did It Dumbya!!!

You're my hero Dubya!!! You have now killed 3,000 American kids for no reason other than to stoke your ego after you lied to the world!!! And what a coincidence. He was from Texas. But unlike you, he was born in Texas

Quite the accomplishment for a draft-dodging coke-snorting alcoholic Andover Cheerleader!!!

Read all about it here tough guy

The 3,000th U.S. soldier has died in Iraq.
“Spc. Dustin R. Donica, 22, of Spring, Texas, was killed Thursday by small arms fire in Baghdad, the Defense Department said.”
UPDATE: Flashback to Tony Snow at the 2,500th U.S. fatality: “It’s a number, and every time there’s one of these 500 benchmarks people want something.”

Times Square Crowds for New Years Eve

Here's an interesting tidbit.

AOL is reporting that there will be record-breaking crowds in Times Square this evening to ring in 2007.

http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/times-square-crowds-may-break-records/20061231084809990001

What I find really interesting is that a year ago revelers were warned about potential "terror" attacks in Times Square. In fact a year ago we were warned about potential terror attacks every time we stepped outside, a few times when we stayed inside.

But this year there is no mention of heightened fear factors or anything else. I guess there must have been an election in the last few months and thats why the terror fear factor has subsided? But we can be assurred that 365 days from tonight the terror fear will be back and probably at a fevered pitch.

Another Bush Milestone

Dear Dumbya

Did you get the news yet?? You have now officially killed 2,999 American kids in your relentless search for a "noble cause" in Iraqnam!!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061231/ts_nm/iraq_soldier_dc

You should be massively proud of yourself, you malingering asshole. Singlhehandedly you have been responsible for the deaths of more Americans than those who died on 9/11 - the incident that caused you to start your own little jihad against "turists".

In six long years in office you have not done one thing for anyone other than the rich and famous - as you called them in the "Farenheit 911" your "baste". You are a real hero Dumbya. The kind of person people want to grow up and not be like.

Do you know if Tony Snow has developed a speech for the occasion of the 3,000th American kid to die for your "noble cause" yet? Will he say, just like he did for the 2,500th kid, that "its just a number?"

We the people have 2 years and 20 days of your maniacal "leadership" left to endure. For the sake of the Constitution I hope we all dont vomit violently realizing we have to so long to go until an adult can be in charge. For the sake of the Nation, however, I am hoping that everyone is looking forward to January 21, 2009, when you and Deadeye and Fang and Rummy begin your war crimes trial in The Hague.

One of Bush's Creations

Dear Dumbya

Check out this cover picture for the January issue of Esquire

http://www.esquire.com/covergallery/coverdetail.html?y=2007&m=1

In your alcohol and cocaine-induced haze, are you able to notice anything about that kid? The one holding his purple-heart in his artificial hand while propped up on the two stumps that used to be his legs?

He lost all three of those limbs in Iraqnam while searching for your "noble cause." I wonder what he thinks of noble causes now?

If I was this kid I'd shove that purple heart directly up your ass - with the pin out.

In your canned radio address yesterday you referred to bumbling former President Gerald Ford as a "courageous leader." That is a phrase that can never be used on you. Your "courage" made you run to the Texas Air National Guard in the 60's so you could avoid service in Vietnam. This kid in the Esquire cover photo has more courage than you will ever possess

I suppose it would be appropriate for the Repugnican Party's resident whore, Ann Coulter, to come out and claim about this kid like she did about Max Clelland in 2004, that he lost three limbs in combat for "political purposes" later in life. That seems to be appropriate for the compassionately conservative wing of your party to claim.

By the way, Dumbya, Happy New Year. After tomorrow we have only 2 more New Years days remaining to survive with you in the White House. Has Laura made any plans for housing in The Hague, Netherlands, during your war crimes trial? Or will she just slum it in the red-light district of Amsterdam before your conviction?

Just wondered.

The Transportation Security Administration - Email to Congress

The following was sent to my Congressman and Senator through their online contact sites.


Dear Senator Warner/ Congressman Moran

I would hope by now you have received hundreds of letters and emails from constituents who are enraged with the non-professional swine who make up the Transportation Security Agency. Creation of that agency was a good idea back in the post-9/11 days. However with the passage of time and with no Congressional oversight since its creation, the thugs who are TSA have taken on a life of their own. I would appreciate it a great deal if TSA and their excesses could be brought under some control

Stories abound of people who have had their personal property confiscated by these jackals. Just recently there was a news story about how, after the "no liquids on a plane" scare, TSA was auctioning off peoples personal property they had confiscated (and confiscated for an issue that later was shown to have NO basis in fact from England). Apparently TSA has forgotten about the Constitutional guarantee against "unreasonable search and seizure."

However confiscation of my tube of toothpaste isn't the reason I am writing to you.

Each and every time I go through a TSA screening post in any airport in America, I see red when I look at the usually grossly overweight TSA employees in their uniforms that each possess what appears to the uninformed eye as a badge. A badge, as anyone in this country knows, connotes someone with the authority to arrest you for a misdeed.

Transportation Security Administration goons have no arrest authority. That is why sheriff's deputies or city police or in the case of large airports, airport police, stand watch over the screening process. They are there because they can arrest people who have broken the law. TSA employees who are nothing more than GS-7 baggage handlers have ZERO legal authority yet they are allowed to carry a badge or a replica of a badge on their uniforms.

Professionally I am a wildlife biologist with an agency of the US Government. My agency has a rather large and effective law enforcement component. If me, as a biologist who has never taken Federal law enforcement training started walking around with a badge on my shirt (or uniform if I was in a field station) I could very likely be in super serious trouble for impersonating a Federal law enforcement official.

The same thing holds for the dolt's at TSA. By wearing a uniform that carries a badge or a replica of a badge on their uniform they are sending the message that "I can arrest you."

They can't.

I am writing to request that you take some sort of investigative action into TSA and why their employees with no law enforcement authority are allowed to portray themselves as being a part of law enforcement.

I want to know where you stand and what you are able to do about this issue. Its unfortunate that in post-9/11 America we are made to feel like we live in a police state because of the way the president views things. Allowing TSA employees to wrongfully wear a badge on their uniform only adds to that feeling of being in a police state.

A Question For Our Tough-Guy "president"

Dear Dumbya

Did the demise of Saddam Hussein this morning make your little penis all stiff again like it did back in the days when you were buggering sheep west of Midland?? Did you get a latent surge of testosterone thinking you really are the toughest motherfucker on earth now?

Or, did your anal pore tighten when you realized that you will be on trial in the World Court in a little over 2 years for crimes much less heinous than the ones Saddam allegedly committed?

Just wondered.

An Important Point to Ponder

Saddam Hussein was executed this morning for his responsibility in the death of 180 Iraqi's. If that is used as a benchmark, what do you suppose will be the fate of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Fang Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, and Richard Pearle after they are convicted of starting a war that resulted in the death of more than 100,000 Iraqi's?

The mind fairly boggles at the possible scenarios.

The one I like the most is to have "christian" Ted Haggard instruct all of them how to be a bottom like he is. Then Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Wolfie and Pearle butt fuck themselves into a lather until a court tells them to stop. Then the coupe de grace comes when Condi Rice whips out those dangerous incisors of hers, and using no protection gives each of them a Monica Lewinsky-style blowjob. Her teeth do irreparable harm to each of their microscopic members, then Condi chokes on a mouth full of cum she couldn't swallow.

Damn. I get just positively giddy thinking of this!!

Filthy Infantile Scum

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/29/world/middleeast/29cnd-hussein.html

Came across this, and I can't begin to describe how much this infuriates me!!!

The current President Bush, who keeps the pistol soldiers confiscated from Mr. Hussein when he was captured mounted in his private study off the Oval Office, did not say anything publicly about the impending execution.

This DIRTY, filthy little chickenshit twirp has a war trophy on his wall, a pistol taken from Saddam by a U.S. soldier who RISKED HIS LIFE to get it. This dirty little scum wad didn't have the BACKBONE to get his own war trophy in Vietnam, but now he has one taken by someone with more courage in his last turd than the chimp every managed in his entire life. Someone put in harms way by this twirp. This infantile bastard, who "thinks" like a 13 year old, has a war trophy. Can you believe this??

The miserable mother fucker should have every wall in the White House and his Texas "ranch" house covered with the faces of the 3,000 U.S. soldiers, along with everyone of the 20,000 or more maimed by his profoundly stupid and irresponsible and treasonously incompetent "leadership".

So Near And Yet So Far....

....what a bummer of a way to end 2006.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061230/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_tornado_13


I think in the State of the Union address Bush needs to strip away all funding for the National Weather Service so they aren't able to alert people before a tornado approaches.

Email to Senator Joe Loserman

Just sent the following to Joe Loserman through his online contact site. All you have to do is tell the form that your address is his office address in Hartford and your mail goes through.

Dear Senator Loserman

This article reprinted from the WAshignton Post brings up an interesting conundruum.

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Lieberman_on_why_we_need_more_1229.html

You say in your article that we need 20,000 more troops in Iraqnam to bring on "victory". However president Bush is unable to define victory, so how can we have something that doesn't exist?

Secondly, how many of your family members are you proposing to have join the military and be shipped over to Iraqnam to be killed for a lie? Whats the noble cause you are willing to sacrifice your family to achieve?

Your fervor about Iraq is all related to your Jewish background. It has nothing to do with common sense or military policy. You are hitching your ride on the tail of a loser president. Fine with me.

As you prepare to approve sending more American kids to their death for a lie in Iraq ask yourself just what has Israel (your real reason for doing this) what has Israel EVER done for the United States other than cost this country billions of dollars in foreign aid annually?

What single thing have we gotten for all the money pissed away and blood shed in the name of a place that has no business existing.

And you want to kill more kids to protect it. Well Joe, Fuck You!

AP Poll - Bush Biggest "Villian" of 2006

Why is this story even news? This is like the night Tom Brokaw announced that Ronald Raygun had Alzheimers.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/nation/4430802.html


What I'm waiting for is the AP poll that confirms Bush is also the biggest asshole of the Century. Just like Raygun, however, naming Bush the biggest asshole of the Century wont really be news, but it will certainly be nice to see it in print.

Further Evidence of No Global Warming

I'm sure this will confirm the absolute knowledge of Rush Numbaugh Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) and Michael Creepton that there is no global warming. Nope. It's just a
hoax, actually a religion, by commies seeking to stifle the world economy and hurt rich people.

Cindy Sheehan Arrested Outside Bush's Crawford Castle

As much as I now think Cindy Sheehan is a certifiable loon, you gotta lover her spunk. Like this stunt below where she blockaded the man with a permanent snarl from getting to the Dubster's play pen in Crawford.

January 2, 2007 - A National Day of Celebration

The one thing Bush accomplished during his current "strategery" session on his self-made debacle in Iraqnam was to decree that Tuesday January 2, 2007 is a national day of mourning because former President Gerald Ford croaked. I see it as recognition of one less Repugnican vote out there clogging the arteries of democracy.

This makes me wonder about the future. When the Dubster croaks I'm imagining that the United Nations will declare it a "World-Wide Month of Celebration."

What An Immoral Bastard

Look at this picture of the Chimp in Chief in this yahoo news story

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061226/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush

Notice how the little prick is saluting?? This from a man who used the national guard as a way to stay out of being in Viet Nam? The guy who decided that trying to fuck Tricia Nixon was more important than showing up for Guard Duty? The cretin who blew off the military and went to work on the campaign of some worthless Alabama redneck Repugnican?

And members of the military salute this shitface back??

The only symbolism Bush needs is Jeff Gannon's cock up his ass. Thats approrpiate.

Rosy Days for the Oil Industry May Be Numbered

Isn't this great?? Making the oil companies pay for the development of alternative fuels?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061226/ap_on_go_co/congress_oil

With Exxon making $40 BILLION a quarter in after expenses profits, I think they can afford to contribute a little to finding alternatives.

Whats really great about this news is that unlike the Repugnicans who live for the campaign contributions of the oil industry, the Democrats could care less. Isn't it just absolutely wonderful having adults in charge of government again?

Singing the National Anthem in Vietnamese

Dear Dumbya

I need you to send the political correctness police and the National Spook Agency and the Department of Homeland Surveilance over to the intersection of Roosevelt Blvd, and Wilson Blvd right NOW!! This is a matter of the utmost national security, Dumbya. We need the gestapo over on this side of town and we need them fast.

No, there is no bank being robbed. No there is not a car accident at that intersection. No, there is nobody smoking pot in the shade of a store. No, there ae no Russian agents receiving state secrets from a disgruntled Pentagon official (although I wish there were).

Nope, Dumbya, nothing that minor is going on. What IS happening.....are you sitting down?? ....What is happening is that a group of Vietnamese people at the "Little Vietnam Shopping Center" are playing the Star Spangled Banner and they are singing the words in VIETNAMESE!!! Blasphmey if I've ever heard it. These people need their fingernails pulled out.

It doesn't matter that they are all citizens of the United States. It doesn't matter that they pay taxes like the rest of us. It doesn't matter that many of these people are business owners who employee "regular looking" 'merikan citizens. Nope, none of that makes a rat's ass bit of difference. What matters, and you know this being the tough guy that you are, is that the US Congress passed legislation last summer making English the official language of the United States and these slant-eyed little yellow bastards are singing a patriotic American song in something other than English!

Off with their heads Dunbya. The rotten little commie bastards. They may think they are patriotic singing an American patriotic song in the only language they know, but you and the neocon whack jobs know better.

I'll keep an eye on them until the Thought Police get here ...ok?? I can hear one of them talking on a microphone right now. It has to be some sort of terrorist plot wouldn't you think?? Must be because its not in English and this is an English only country.

By the way, have you fiscal wizards considered how much it will cost to change all of the road signs along the US-Quebec border into English only?? Have you figured out yet how many accidents will be caused when French-only speakers come to "our" side of the border wall and cant understand the road signs and crash into real 'Mericans?? Have you guys figured out how much it will cost to change all the road signs along the US - Mexico border into English only?? What about in South Florida?? Is Jeb getting donations from the leaders of the biggest corporations that contribute to him so he can change all the signs??

And what about law enforcement. Do we have enough jails to hold all of the people, like my neighbors over here at the mall, who dare to speak their native tongue in our God-fearing English only nation??? What about on college campuses. Will we now be banned from having any language other than English taught on a university campus???

Wait Dumbya....I hear sirens off to the south.. It must be the thought police showing up even before I hit send.....Oh, thats right....the National Spook Agency can read what I'm typing even before I send it. Silly me.

Thanks for sending the thought police over here to brutalize these commie bastards singing "our" patriotic song in their patriotic voices. You're a true 'merican Dumbya.

Now go Cheney yourself.

Massachusetts to Be Bush's Worst Nightmare

My fantasy would be for Congress to arrange an "extraordinary rendition" for the chimp and uncle dickhead, to a friendly Middle Eastern country, where they'd start the questioning with gentle taps with electrical cables on the soles of our boys' bare feet.

Sort of a combination interrogation and lesson time for the two tough guys.

I'd feel really bad though, if it progressed to electrodes on the nuts or cattle probes in the anal pores. That would be a real shame!

Is "god" Gay?

Dear Dumbya

In the collection of ancient fables that you "christians" call a bible, there is a statement somewhere about how "god" created man in his own image. (If thats true, then, looking at you and Karl Rove for example, then "god" is one ugly son of a bitch). However while pondering that verse in the bible something occurred to me.

If "god" created everything, including man in his image, that means that "god" created homosexuals. And if homosexuals were created in "gods" own image it follows logically, then, that god IS GAY!!!

No wonder George Allen thumped the bible so hard for "god".

I think before you wacko Repugnicans go any further bashing gay people and denying them their legal right to a legal union be it "marriage" or some other term, you need to stop and reflect on this. If you are jerking gays around (dont get too exicted with that statement Dumbya, it was meant to make a point....stop salivating)....then are you all not in danger of massively pissing off "god"? Remember it was Tom DeLay who said at the 2000 Repugnican convention in Philadelphia that "we (Repugnicans) are the party of "god."

Again, Dumbya, you sanctimonious assholes may be in big trouble with your "god" since its obvious from this analysis that "god" is gay. Can we expect to see you stop harassing gay people with legislative and judicial and constituational tools to suppress gods own image?

Another Pro-Life Repugnican Favors Offing Someone

Check out this story about the wingnut whacko congresswoman from Miami who wants to off Castro

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20061224/D8M6S8AG0.html

Whats really ironic in the video of her below is her comment about assinating any "leader who oppresses the public"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MunPrYJWy0

I wonder. Does this mean the pro-life congresswoman from Florida is including the Shrub in this tirade? He's certainly oppressing the people of this country and Iraq. I think the Secret Service gestapo should arrest this vile little pro-life bitch for suggesting that.

But, wait, suggesting the offing of people is a Repugnican tradition. Look at Ann Coulter's comments about the Supremes and look at Pat Robertson's comments about Hugo Chavez. I guess suggesting that someone is offed is just another way of being pro-life?

News From An Historically Important Bar in My Hometown

Check out this story about the Big O Bar in Rice Lake Wisconsin.

http://www.chronotype.com/newarticle.asp?T=L&ArticleID=11327

It was a warm April evening in 1969 when two classmates and I (names removed to protect the guilty) were driving around Rice Lake drinking beer illegally (underaged). Some time after 1:00 am we ran out of beer, but our young thirsts had not been quenched.

It was too late to get our regular stash guy to buy us another 6 pack. Something had to be done but what?

Tom, in his alcohol-induced haze, came up with a grand idea.

"Lets break into the Big O and steal a six pack."

Not being very good at stealing things, we parked my Mustang directly across the street from the bar (hey, we were drunk, and not supposed to be thinking clearly) and then crossed the street. At that time there was the main door that faced west and a side door on the north side of the bar near the back of the building.

We chose the north side rear door.

Steve somehow knew the machinations of breaking in a door and very easily gained access for us. Once the lock was broken (and of course nobody wore gloves) we stepped inside and marveled at the beer cooler sitting there unlocked with all of that nectar waiting to be consumed. But we weren't greedy. All we wanted was one six-pack to finish off the night.

In those days nobody thought of drinking anything but Pabst Blue Ribbon, and thats exactly what we took. One six pack of it.

We really didn't steal it because, on our way out the door, Tom was overcome with a sense of conscience (Catholic guilt creeping in?) and left $1.25 on the bar. The exact cost of a six-pack in those days. So, technically, we didn't really "steal" the six pack. But we did commit breaking and entering.

With our ill-gotten bounty in our hands we raced out of town and went up by Lake Desair to drink it.

I got home at something like 3:30 am or so and was promptly rousted from bed at 5:30 to go out and milk cows. Finishing our chores about 7 that morning we went in the house for breakfast and during it, as tradition would require, we listened to the news with Dick Kaner on WJMC radio in Rice Lake.

Munching on my eggs I heard Dick lead off the news with some breaking information. "Rice Lake police are investigating a break in at the Big O bar sometime over night."

My fork was almost to my mouth and it remained there in suspended animation while I thought to myself "oh shit."

Dick went on in excruciating detail to report what the Rice Lake police had found about this crime. "Apparently" Dick said "nothing was taken from the bar and all the money remained in the till."

My dad was known to frequent the Big O bar on more than a couple occasions. He sat across from me at the table slowly chewing his food and then finally at the end of the news piece said "I hope they catch the sons-a-bitches."

His son, who was one of the "sons-a-bitches," sat across from him thinking "you just called mom a bitch!! I was also hoping they wouldn't catch those sons-a-bitches.

And they never did.

Twenty-seven years later in 1996 when I went home for my mom's funeral, I went to the Big O to confess. I told the bartender (a very important and revered job in Wisconsin by the way) about our crime that night. I didn't mention the names of my co-conspirators. The bartender, who probably wasn't even born the night we broke in, didn't have a clue what I was talking about but he was impressed by my latent honesty and bought me a beer for telling him.

Thats one of the highest honors that can be bestowed on a Wisconsinite....someone buying you a beer. And its even more important when its done for having committed a crime to get the beer in the first place.

The Most Outrageous Comments of 2006

Not surprisingly, they were all muttered by compassionately conservative Repugnicans

Almost incomprehensible. My jaw is hanging, again. Rush Numbaugh influences millions of pea-brained people, and he doesn't know you get butter from milk, not by slaughtering the cow? And that's not even considering the larger issue of his overall "thought" about obesity.

Jesus Help Us!! Please, Jesus, if you're really there, if you're listening, please, as soon as possible, have a large, speeding bus flatten Mr. Numbaugh, Mr. O'Lielly and all their ilk unless it is in fact your plan to send the U.S. of A. down the tubes for good.

Maybe that's it, because things don't look real promising for the future.

Bush Keeps Killing Them

Here's the latest body bag count from Iraqnam where Cheney still insists the insurgency is in its "last throes". Thats easy for Cheney to say. An egotistical windbag who received 5 deferments during Vietnam. Too bad that instead of being out getting artifically insemiated, Mary Cheney wasn't over in Iraqnam dealing with the "last throes." Want to bet this mistake would be over in a couple of days if that happened?

Today Bush killed 10 American kids in Iraqnam, all of whom were serching for his elusive "Noble cause".

What Few Brains Bush Had Are Officially Gone

Check out this story

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/19/AR2006121900880.html

and pay particular attention to this statement:

But in a wide-ranging session in the Oval Office, the president said he interpreted the Democratic election victories six weeks ago not as a mandate to bring the U.S. involvement in Iraq to an end but as a call to find new ways to make the mission there succeed

This stupid bastard has no concept of anything resembling the real world. On November 7 the candidates opposed to his debacle in Iraqnam won. That victory sent the message "get out of Iraq". Nowhere did the message say "stay and kill more kids because my tiny testicles aren't pumping out enough testosterone anymore."

There's no excuse for you Bush. None. You are living proof of the need to keep abortion legal and easiliy obtainable. May you rot in hell.

The White House Office of "Lessons Learned"

As unbelievable as it may seem, the White House is wasting more than $100,000 a year on an Office of Lessons Learned. Like everything else in the Bush Abomination, the "president" has failed to learn from any lessons, especially those related to the debacle in Iraqnam. Today, out of frustration, I sent this letter to the Director of the Office of Lessons Learned. I doubt anyone there can read, but we can always hope.


Director
Office of "Lessons Learned"
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Office of Lessons Learned

First of all I was shocked and confused when I learned that the "president" had established an office of lessons learned. My shock came primarily from the very real fact that his actions over the last six years show that he has learned absolutely no lessons. Starting with the $300 vote-buying scheme masked as a tax refund, all the way through to his foolish invasion of Iraq under the guise of "smokin out and gettin" terrorists.

You would think that after nearly 3,000 American kids and more than 100,000 Iraqi’s have died because of Bush’s lies, your office would have learned a lesson. But its not. Instead the "president" is now planning to "surge" the number of American kids into the killing fields of Iraq by 30,000 to 50,000. All because the "president" no longer produces testosterone and he thinks this will make him "tough" again.

On November 7, 2006, we the people spoke out at the polls. We elected a Democratic majority in the House and the Senate in large part because we don’t want any more foolish involvement of money or human lives in Iraq. We do not want another American kid to die there for an undefined "noble cause." That, lessons learned, is why you and your party are in the minority. We learned a lesson and we kicked out those who supported the "president" in his failed policy in Iraq.

If we the people could learn a lesson from this, why cant the "president" who has his own GS-14 operated Office of Lessons "Learned"?

Haven’t you or the "president" learned any lessons from the fact that only 12 percent of the American public thinks Bush is doing a good job handling the mess in Iraq ? Still we forge ahead and further destroy the name of the United States in the world’s view.

I hope you lesson learners can sleep easily at night knowing that you are contributing to Bush’s version of the Holocaust. And its all because you cant learn a lesson from your mistakes.

Email to Congressman Jim Moran (D-VA)

Dear Congressman Moran

I wanted to pass along to you an article from the online version of "The Nation"

http://www.thenation.com/doc/20070108/editors

As the 110th Congress gets ready to begin work, I think its important for you and every other Democrat to remember why we took back the House and earned a 30 seat majority out of it. We took it back because we the people are fed up with the mismanagement and ineptness that characterizes Bush's misguided adventure in Iraq.

We the people elected a Democratic Congress based on the promises of the Democrats (with the exception of faux Democrat Joe Lieberman) to reign in Bush and his Iraq policy. Now we are faced with an out-of-control "president" who, against the will of the people, wants to add soldiers to the killing fields of Iraq.

I dont know what drugs Bush is on these days but they are certainly not helping him remember the lessons of November 7.

The purpose of this letter is to urge you in the strongest terms possible to fight each and every effort by the Bush Abomination to send more kids to their death in Iraq. Not one more child should die for what that fool has created.

You are in a position to raise holy hell each and every time this issue comes up. Those of us who campaigned for you and voted for you expect you to be a bulldog when the issue of the urge to surge in Iraq comes up.

Happy Holidays (I'd say Merry Christmas, but Happy Holidays irks Bill O'Reilly).
