2003-01-21 - That dumb fuck in the White House
That dumb fuck in the White House is pissing me the hell off.

The Shrub proclaims that we have a long way to go before Martin Luther King Jr's dream is realized, and spends the day at a black church as if that will convince people he gives a shit about the African American community. A long way to go -- let's see Shrubbie, you could start by not starting a war to make you and your oil buddies even richer than you already are. What do you think MLK would have said about your war-mongering? How can you even say his name without someone spitting on you in disgust?

We have a long way to go before racism is over in this country, says Bush, who won his presidency with the help of his brother and pals throwing thousands of black voters off the voter records in Florida because their names were similar to the names of convicted felons (though if you were white and your name was similar, you somehow stayed on). We have a long way to go before racism is over in this country, says Bush, who is fighting to stop affirmative action on race in university admissions even though he doesn't apparently have a problem with "affirmative action" for rich kids whose daddy went to a good school, the "legacy" admissions that got him into Yale. We have a long way to go before racism is over in this country, says Bush, former governor of Texas who oversaw the executions of a parade of prisoners from a death row full of the poor and racial minorities, people whose lawyers weren't even awake during their trials.

Do the black people of this country a favor, Shrub, and choke on that pretzel for good next time. Us whities with brains and a conscience will thank you for it, too.

And as an update to my SUV rant last week, look what else Bushie is doing -- giving another huge tax break to people who buy enormous gas hogs! See Yahoo, Bush plan gives huge tax break to buyers of big SUVs. How about giving a tax break to people who buy hybrid vehicles instead?

Oops, no, Bush wants to be the only tree left standing. Can't have people buying vehicles that get 60 mpg when you can encourage them to buy ones that get 10 mpg -- after all, if we used less oil we might have less reason to bomb Iraq, less terrorism to give us excuses to curtail civil liberties, and less environmental devastation to keep poor people sick from smog and pollution.

Someone put this asshole out of my misery.
