Russian Tanks Just Outside Atlanta
Author: Daniel Taylor11 Aug
Man, you’d think people would be freaking out a little more that Russia’s waging a full out war on Georgia, but I guess it just goes to show you that George W. Bush really does not care about black people. Plus there’s no oil there anyway, amirite? I just wish I knew more about who these South Ossetian folks are supposed to be? Is that like some Creole type shit, or some new offshoot of born-again Christianity? I guess I should really keep up on shit more but whatever, its all fake anyway.
Oil Man Breaks Wind: T. Boone Pickens Has A New Plan
Author: spencer8 Jul
If you’re anything like me, you have virtually no idea who the fuck T. Boone Pickens is. Well, for one, he has a rad name. No bones about it. Number two, he’s a Texas oil man who heavily supported George W. Bush. Number three, he stands for shareholder’s rights (which usually means he stands against workers rights). Number four, he’s 80 years old and creepy-looking.
Despite having a rad name, I wouldn’t trust someone with those stats. Just not in my nature to trust cutthroat businessmen. besides, the bios I’ve read paint him the darkest shade of greedy and snake-like (philanthropy notwithstanding). The thing that keeps my mind on the fence a bit, though, is that he’s in favor of reducing dependence on foreign oil (what a concept!), and is now a major proponent of wind power. And natural gas.
Some excerpts of his plan:
Wind power currently accounts for 48 billion kWh of electricity a year in the United States — enough to serve more than 4.5 million households. That is still only about 1% of current demand, but the potential of wind is much greater.
A 2005 Stanford University study found that there is enough wind power worldwide to satisfy global demand 7 times over — even if only 20% of wind power could be captured.
The pitch:
The Pickens Plan is a bridge to the future — a blueprint to reduce foreign oil dependence by harnessing domestic energy alternatives, and buy us time to develop even greater new technologies.
Building new wind generation facilities and better utilizing our natural gas resources can replace more than one-third of our foreign oil imports in 10 years. But it will take leadership.
Seems like a good idea on the surface. Hopefully it isn’t rotten to the core underneath.
Puttin’ GWB In The Sewer
Author: alisse25 Jun
Things like this make me miss my homeland. San Francisco is holding a vote to rename their largest sewer treatment facility system after the one and only, George W. Bush. San Franciscans think this is only fitting to have a sewer be a monument dedicated to President Bush’s work in the White House.
The Presidential Memorial Commission of SF has collected 8,500 signatures in support of this bill which is far over the amount needed for proposal on the November ballot.
Howard Epstein is the chair of the SF Republican Party and feels the “typical San Francisco crazies” are abusing the system. We ain’t ALL crazy, jerk. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission is in on the joke while Republicans say Bush has accomplished SO much in such a short period of time that he deserves this honor. Guess they don’t get the humor behind it.
Signatures are continuing to be gathered on the streets of SF. Campaigners will wear Uncle Sam suits, top hats and play American patriotic music. I think they’re the San Francisco crazies.
Fidel Castro Resigns
Author: James19 Feb
He never got his face on a popular T-shirt, but Fidel Castro is unquestionably the most iconic of the world’s communists. The 81-year old leader of Cuba — having suffered health problems since July 2006 — has officially resigned his position as president. His brother, Raul Castro, has been running the country since Fidel fell ill and is expected to be officially appointed as successor. In fact, Fidel hasn’t even been seen in public since he underwent intestinal surgery on July 31, 2006. According to one Cuban exile living in Spain:
We haven’t seen the Cuban dictator in the flesh since he withdrew through illness. This leads me to think that he may have died already.
The announcement was made overnight, and come dawn, most Cubans were still unaware that Castro had stepped down. AP reports that it wasn’t until 5AM that the announcement was made on the radio, hours after it had been posted online.
As controversial as he is charismatic, Castro ruled Cuba since 1959. Reaction to the news, as you’d expect, is radically mixed.
“It is like losing a father,” said Luis Conte, an elderly museum watchman. Or “like a marriage — a very long one that is over.”
Meanwhile, US President George W. Bush is stoked about the prospect of turning the nearby island nation into America’s tropical playground once again, saying he hoped to “help the people of Cuba realize the blessings of liberty.” For a price of course. Regardless of what it means for Cuba’s future, the landscape of international politics has certainly become a little less interesting.
‘Karl Rove resigns’
Author: giraffebutt13 Aug
“Karl Rove is quitting as President Bush’s senior political adviser at the end of this month.
Mr Rove says he is proud to have been a witness to history being made, during his years at the White House.”
(taken from www.tv3.co.nz)
Karl Rove is proud. To have been a witness. To history. Being made.
I don’t know a lot about politics, but even I can say that nobody in their right mind should be proud of the sort of history that’s been made during George W. Bush’s time in office.
After looking Mr. Rove up on wikipedia.org, having not known much about him myself, I found some strange lines of quote.
On January 19, 2005, Rove said George W. Bush was “one of the most intellectually gifted presidents we’ve had.”
And,
He (Rove) has often been referred to as “Bush’s Brain”
Hm.
But at least the guy doesn’t take himself too seriously. Apparently he got up and improvised a rap song with Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie of Whose Line is it Anyway?, referring to himself as MC Rove, at the Radio and Television Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington. He also claims his pasttimes are ripping off the heads of animals and stamp collecting. So either this man is really the genius, witty man portrayed, or he’s just insane enough to say something like ‘George Bush sure is smart’. George Bush, the man who for some reason can’t wipe the stupid simian smile off his face when he’s talking about the war in Iraq.
