Had to be done.

kukla_tkoThat grinning chip is still the president.
That Texan with the mouth like a tear in a hemorrhoid cushion is still "running the country."
And it's not my fault, I didn't vote for him.
I wish that Mooselvania had become a state in the 60s. I would move there right now.
(I tried to find a link to that story, I couldn't find anything on the 'net. If I find it I will post it.)
Do you really want to know how I feel about Dubya? Look behind the link.
On September 11th, I was headed to work. That was the year that I worked in HELL for the DEVIL, better known as Molly Brown's Halloween Superstore. Not a store so much as a fireworks tent in Jeffco. Shudder.
On the 11th, I was on my way to the Pacific location to get that store organized and set up. I was confused about what I was hearing on the radio, then it all seemed to come together. Someone had blown up the Towers. There were plane crashes. It was awful.
My first thought?
Dammit. This is going to screw the Halloween business right in the ear. Oh, well. Better re-do that endcap of Grim Reapers, change it over to American Soldiers and Firefighters.
At work, they had a news station playing all day, just loud enough for me to hear the whine and crackle of the AM station, and any words spoken louder than conversational level. It was a drone in the background, and an irritating one at that.
But as the day progressed, I noticed something odd. There had been an attack on a major building(s) in New York City. There had been an attack on the Pentagon, for goodness's sake!
But where was the statement from the terrorist group, announcing their evil intents?
Who was there to take credit for the attacks?
All of you are saying, "Osama Bin Laden, of course."
Think back again. Bin Laden didn't claim the attack at first. In fact, he didn't claim the attack until some time after it had occurred, and the government had TOLD us that it was him.
If I were the leader of a major terrorist group, and the USA was accusing ME of making those attacks, I would stand right up and claim them, too. Even if I HADN'T done it.
See, there was a vision that appeared fully formed in my head on that day. I remembered that people were still grumbling about the simian clusterfuck of the 2000 election. That Dubya was still the butt of many jokes the world over, and that the economy was already starting to slide under Dubya's reign.
Here is the image:
Dubya: Dad? You got a minnit?
Bush Sr.: What is it, son?
Dubya: You said that bein' president would be fun. It ain't fun, daddy.
Bush: Well, why not?
Dubya: I donno. People are makin' fun o' me. They're sayin' that I shouldn'ta been president. And this is HARD, daddy! Everything is going wrong and nobody LIKES me...
Bush: Well, son, what you need's a WAR.
Dubya: How are we going to get a WAR, Daddy? There's no one to go to war with.
Bush: Well, you gotta angry up the blood of the american people, son...
I don't think that I EVER thought that the "attacks" on September 11th, 2001 were from outside forces. I don't think I ever believed that the US had no prior knowledge of what was to come. I am sure that if the CIA or the FBI or a bureau we've never heard of didn't plan and execute the attack, they at least had prior knowledge and worked hard to grease the wheels for the "terrorists" instead of stopping them.
Maybe that's why I can't STAND the "Smirk."
He's smirking at ME, and the rest of America.
Do you think he's a moral person? Do you think that he is doing The Lord's work in that oval office?
I know divine inspiration when I see it. Dubya thinks he's divinely inspired, only because he believes that HE is GOD. His only deity is his strangely bloated ego.
I hope to God, almighty GOD, OLD TESTAMENT GOD that we only have to put up with him for four more years. In fact, I could stand to see some holy retribution occur in that oval office. Fire and brimstone stuff. Freak accident with a stapler stuff. Choking on a cheeto stuff.
And I would dearly love for his last words to be, "Hey y'all watch this!"
I miss Clinton so very much. A brilliant man who knew how to talk like an average joe. Sex scandals? So freaking what. I would really like to think that the fella with his finger on the "button" is a calm person who gets blown on a regular basis. Clinton told us that he had the budget balanced and that my generation (and the ones to come) would be able to reap the benefits of Social Security, instead of paying out for something we will never get. Clinton painted for me a beautiful and attainable future.
Shame that his legacy died during the 2000 election results.
Clinton fixed many things that were wrong with this country. (Or at least, his administration did.)
George W. Bush turned right around and spitefully broke them all again. More people are in bankruptcy than ever before. (I am one of them.) More STATES are in bankruptcy than ever before. (My STATE is one of them.)
(Sigh.)
I voted for Kerry. All my hope went into that little punch of the card.
And then my stupid, hillbilly, redneck, bigoted state voted for Bush. I keep forgetting that St. Louis is not an accurate sample for how the rest of the state will act and/or think.
Nope. The rest of those people, who don't insure their cars (or provide them with legal plates) the ones who have fond memories of lynchings past, the ones who think that George W Bush is a "man with morals" because he hates those godforsaken gays, too....
They all turned out in record numbers to vote for Bush.
It is to sigh. Canada is starting to look really attractive to me, now. Would I be guaranteed health insurance if I moved there? Because aside from the 8 months that I worked at the school in 2000-2001, and the year and change that I worked in the Salt Mines, I haven't had health insurance since I turned 18. I am 30 now. (And that "Salt Mines" insurance didn't cover a lot of stuff including dental, and my Primary Care Physician.) If I ever have to go to the hospital for any reason, I will be in debt the rest of my life. Unless you want to pay my bill, never call 911 on my behalf. Don't do it. Take me to a county hospital or somewhere cheap yourself.
That Spider Robinson short story about the good ol' days is starting to look like it's going to come true, sadly enough.
I'm off to seek gainful employment.
