Dear President Obama:

If not now, yesterday would be good.

It's from a couple of days ago but still...

... incredibly illuminating. Or... the reverse. Does Bush actually suck intelligence out of the universe?

Jingoistic asshats

Bill in Portland Maine has some suggestions for CNN:
Sunday the Most Trusted Name in News asked on its homepage: "Does Barack Obama show the proper patriotism for someone who wants to be president of the United States?"
Here are some other poll questions they should ask:

When George W. Bush puts his hand over his stomach during the national anthem, he seems to be signaling that America is a piece of chewed-up food headed straight for the crapper. Is this proper patriotism?

Mike Huckabee says the Constitution needs to be amended to reflect God's standards, including, we assume, stonings for adultery. Is this proper patriotism?

...

When President Bush says "we do not torture," and we find out that we really do torture, is this proper patriotism?

...

When the White House guts the Fourth Amendment by enlisting the phone companies to abet the most blatant and illegal form of warrantless eavesdropping and then demanding retroactive immunity for them, is this proper patriotism?

You can read it all here.

My momma had a saying

All right, y'all know I'm a phony not from the South and when she was alive I called her "mother" and not momma, but my momma had a mouth on her and I love to recall some of her sayings.

One of those was: "How can anyone be so stupid and live?"



I think we have met the die-hard Bush supporters.

Christ, have mercy.

You had it right, Mom, you had it right.
