Kanye West Takes Bush To Task

Kanye West, fresh off his front page story on Time Magazine, is letting the world know how blacks are being treated down in New Orleans. "George Bush doesn't care about black people," he said last night on NBC's benefit concert. He said the effort was slow and deliberate and for his truth he was quickly shut off and the cameras switched to another presenter.

Before he was silenced, he added, "We already realized a lot of the people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way, and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us." He was referring to shoot-on-sight orders issued to National Guard troops in New Orleans. Do you see a pattern here? Creating a chaotic situation and then start shooting civilians because the chaos you created is forcing an everyman-for-themselves atmosphere. It's sick.

Now matter how you look at it, from any angle, the people of Louisiana and Mississsippi were fucked. And they remained fucked days later. This death toll will dwarf 9/11 so they can finally put that intelligence blunder that Bush oversaw to bed and they can finally focus on this domestic cluster-fuck that Bush oversaw. This is the watershed moment we have been waiting for, the tipping point is now.

Expecting the Right or the media to really get this is wishful thinking. The Republicans will never admit they did anything wrong and the media will begrudgingly follow this story because there is not a runanway white bride or little blond girl missing.

Thank god there is oil down there or they would be completely fucked.

Kanye sets it on blast.

Another Catastrophic Success For Bush

I'm sure he will shy away from all the accolades of another Bush success story, but what can you say? George has managed to duplicate the impossible. He has impossed the same hellish nightmare on yet another set of innocent people. He cut his teeth with the Afghans, really got his mojo working with the Iraqis, but he really put his ducks in a row for New Orleans. I mean, it wasn't just one event, one cutback, one nod to the oil industry, one enviromentally poor decision, and it sure was not indifference to poor and black people. It was all of them combined.

I hope all you Red State Southerners who think you had a good ol' boy in the White realize now once and for all: Bush does not care about you. He played you like a chump with his horse shit foreign policy. You thought you would be safer because he was bombing civilians in Iraq. Well guess what? You were completely wrong! Not just kind of wrong, completely wrong. How does your safety feel now? All our US resources are in Iraq getting destroyed.

Maybe now you can go get yourself reborn again because your false prophet screwed you. And where is Cheney in all of this? Your leaders are laughable and your pride in them is shameful.

Problem With Ownership Society

The concept of ownership society has to be looked at more closely. This is not just the notion that a person can mortage themselves into owning a home. Big deal. What goes beyond this Republican feelgood bullshit is that you don't just own you house, you own everything. You own the bad things, too. If your house is in a bad neighborhood, you own the crime. Bad school district, you own it. What about if you get hurt? You own that medical debt, too.

Making the idea of owning something, and this somehow gives you esteem, is not the answer. Some people are not meant to own homes. They don't need the risk or want the commitment. For those who do not have health insurance, about 48,000,000+ Americans and growing, they do not want high health costs. By never looking at the problems and making everyone take on what they have, society is sherking what it really needs to be doing. Taking care of the less fortunate, looking out for kids, trying to rope in high medical costs, providing opportunities. This is just another way to put a positive spin on the rich getting richer scenario. Of course they like this, they have the ways and means to monitor investments, pay for hospital costs, to plan for the future.

It is idealistic but not realistic to promote this ownership society. It puts too much pressure on individuals and puts the small guy in harms way. The wealthy can swing these conditions, the little man, and that's you so don't think you're rich, gets left holding the major burden. When the shit hits the fan, you'll finally see my point. You'll own it, too.

Banner Of The Day

When will America wake up? We don't need to keep making excuses for this douche bag. He sucks, let's face it. You may be a Republican, you maye hate Clinton. Whatever. A blowjob is nothing compared to way way George is fucking the entire country. Compassionate Conservative? Soul-less dickhead is more like it.

Enough Is Enough

Republicans are on a witch hunt for scientists who support that climate changes are getting worse. Some jack-off from the fossil fuel lobby is making it hard on scientists and guess what, he's from Texas. Not to jump to any conclusions, but it all makes sense. What also makes sense is how I always see great articles like this in British newspapers. I swear, if it were not for the BBC, the Guardian and even the BBC News on TV, half of the major stories about the US would go uncovered.

What do we achieve by letting corporations win? What do we achieve by teaching faith as fact? What do we achieve by attacking someone's patriotism? Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel and Bible stories only apply to people who follow the Bible.
They are just used to cloud and obfuscate the real problems. They are used to divide.

When you see $4 gas because violent storms, which are a sign of global warming, wipe out places like Katrina did, the oil industry will still report record revenues. This only backs up the Republicans version of the Golden Rule: Whoever has the gold, rules.

Look At His G Chord, Like Him, He's Off One Fret

Kind of symbolic in more ways than one. Not only is the douche bag fiddling while New Orleans drowns Nero steez, he's trying to play a G chord but he's off one fret. Just like he's pretending to be a guitar player, he's pretending to be a president. I'm sure the good people of Louisiana are thanking W for the 4000+ National Guard that are in Iraq right now instead of helping out in their home state.

Thanks to Americablog for the pictures.

Bush F*cking Over Africa

"To impose a dogma-driven policy that is fundamentally flawed is doing damage to Africa" states Stephen Lewis, the UN secretary general's special envoy for HIV/Aids in Africa. Our Pretzel-dent, Mr. Faith-Based, is letting the funding that supplies condoms and other HIV/AIDS treatments dwindle in much of Africa. Bush is using his quasi-religious reasoning here. People are suffering, but rather than help them, he would preach to them about abstinence. Somehow that makes his white, conservative, Pro-Life contingent in America happy. These "WWJD" bracelet wearing jack-offs have no true soul or empathy that comes within 1/1,000,000,000th of what J. Christ would be doing if he were around. But does this really differ from Bush's other attempts at bringing death and suffering to innocent people around the world. Iraq? Darfur? Even here in the US.

In Bush's world where Jesus is a blonde, blue-eyed English speaking Republican, Africa just doen't matter. Imposing his reborn Fundamentalist ideals that cater to ex-cokeheads and booze-hounds on a continent as diverse as Africa makes sense to W. He thought Africa was a country, afterall. Why would we expect anything beyond a second-graders knowledge from this guy.

Buchanan Calls For Impeachment

Every now and then Pat Buchanan takes a step out of line from the hypocritical right echo chamber and calls out the Pretzel-dent. His issue this time is illegal immigration and he thinks his right wing buddies in Congress should throw in a bill to impeach W to let him know he's not doing his job. Imagine that, calling him out for not doing his job? Hey Pat, take your pick! Not protecting borders is what Bush does best, here and in Iraq. Why should he change now, stay the course. He is the master of denying reality. He drives a car into a brick wall and brags he didn't blink. Asshole.

Maybe Pat can clue George into the fact that his "agenda" is really corporations backing changes to laws to benefit big business. How many Americans were hoping those bankruptcy laws would change? John Q. Public definitely wanted the "fresh start" program wiped away. Right?
