Pot and Kettle

President George W. Bush has securely homelanded again. I was hoping he might extend this Beijing stint thing throughout all sixteen days over there, representing and stuff. Damn the luck.

Anyway, he's back. And totally indignant about the whole Russia vs. Georgia grudge match! Harsh words he had concerning the latest overseas fiasco, and even I will have to give him props and two thumbs up for good points well made.

"I'm deeply concerned about the situation in Georgia," he said.

Rightly so. Although I'll admit when I first heard this his opening statement I figured he might be thinking Atlanta burning or something. I don't give the guy enough credit sometimes. My bad.

Then about the Russians' blitzkrieg marking "a dangerous escalation in the crisis. The violence is endangering regional peace. Civilian lives have been lost, and others are endangered."

Thank God he recognizes the importance of regional peace-keeping. Most significant the saving of civilian lives, even their endangerment.

Finally this, "Georgia is a sovereign nation and its territorial integrity must be respected. We have urged an immediate halt to the violence and a stand-down by all troops."

He's apparently not really so stupid as I might have thunk after all.

Okay, I can only fake it so much. As far as I'm concerned the two-faced hypocritical son of a bitch should just get on the next boat back to China, that slow one, and shut the hell up.

Sure the rhetoric is spot on of course, what he said. Russia is definitely sucking big donkey dick here, no doubt about it. But the whole "do as we say, not as we do" bullshit pisses me off.

  1. "Okay, I can only fake it so much. As far as I'm concerned the two-faced hypocritical son of a bitch should just get on the next boat back to China, that slow one, and shut the hell up."


    Nothing left for me to say. I totally agree. China can have him.

  2. Doug - The part where he talks about a sovereign nation just causes me to blow a gasket. The only conclusion can be that Bush/Cheney and their neocon cheerleaders believe they are a law unto themselves. Disgusting!

  3. It is disgusting. Of course, we are the bosses of the world, we don't necessarily have to abide by our own rules anyway.

  4. He must take his speech writer every where! No way he came up with anything otjer than, "Uh" on his own. Yeah, this is soooo different from us killing innocents in Iraq. Excuse me while I vomit.

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

It Could Happen

I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published. Of course I hadn't written it yet, but I figured this proved I could do it, too, kept it for an affirmation thingy. Over the years I've remembered saving that s...
