Party At Our House

According to the NY Times, Dubya is giving his fairwell speech to the nation Thursday night. Everybody...party at our house. Thursday night. I still can't believe this dope is out of office in a week. THANK GOD!!!

A Fitting Tribute

A group of people out in San Francisco have collected 8,500 signatures (15,000 are needed for an initiative) to put a initiative on the November ballot that would rename San Francisco's Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant to the the George W Bush Sewage Plant. According to the New York Times, "Bush Is Unlikely to Embrace it". Gee you think!!

Personally, I find this to be one of the most appropriate tributes I have ever seen.

ALL IN FAVOR???? I

The Case of the Missing Scare Tactics

Remember this? I know, you may have to search way back into your memory...Try prior to the 2004 election. Yep, it was used by the Bushed Administration to scare the hell out of people into voting for Dubya in 2004. I remember telling a colleague back in the summer of 2004 that once Dubya gets elected, you will never see these tactics again. I also remember seeing warnings on overhead signs around D.C in 2004 reminding people to call a phone number if they see terrorist activities.

Well, I guess I was right. Remember all the talk of small pox and Anthrax scares? Yep, once Dubya won in 2004, we never heard about this stuff again.

But wait...The 2008 presidential election is in November. Shall we say the tactics will appear again in, say, September....hmmmm. Yeah, September, that's it.

By the way, notice I said Dubya was elected in 2004 and not re-elected. Remember, Dubya was appointed by the US Supreme Court in 2000, and elected for the first time in 2004. But in the eyes of Justice Scalia, I need to "Get over it. It's so old by now." OK Buddy, whatever!!

"Huh"
