AMERICANS ARE REGAINING THEIR EYESIGHT AND IQs!!

Bush hits a new low in polls for job approval

Keep going, we gotta get to ZERO.

BUSH LYING IS NO LONGER NEWS

SORRY, BUT WE LOVE BEING SCAMMED

"This worst, most corrupt, most totalitarian, most dishonest administration in American history commits crime after crime against the nation and Constitution. The neo-fascists in the Senate prepare a coup that will allow a slim majority achieve total control, and silence the other 48%. And the media doesn’t care. Hunter Thompson may be right. We are doomed, unless we are willing to do what it takes to stop these criminals."

JESUS.

Dubya and DeLay both out of the same state? This is the best Texas can do? They think this is good? What a pus-hole. Let's give Texas back to Mexico, and these two losers with it.

THE USE OF COMPLACENCY

You know how it is. You lie well, you get elected, you lie even better, you get programs passed that enrich your friends and yourself (and your descendants, so you get a dynasty of inbred liars who herd the flock forever), but not overtly, because the one fixed rule about using complacency is that you don’t go around explaining reality; you don’t give actual wolf stats to the sheep. Everything must always appear as though nothing has really changed. Constitution, rule of law, banks like churches, churches like banks, piety everywhere, love of sheep, “We Love Sheep” posters and campaigns, brotherhood with lots and lots of cheap feed, miles of acreage, slaughter out of sight, status quo, nothing new, no surprises, good eating. But you do need a wolf once in a while - one at a time is fine - to show the sheep not only that you’re essential to their well-being, but that you’re doing your job: big approval rating, they love you, they need you, you are their leader, then you get the wool plus the meat, money in the bank and fine dining, while the sheep go right along with it all, never suspecting a thing, filing right into the corral, walking right up to the gun, trusting all the way. Complacency is the essential tool in any shepherd’s toolbox.

ABOUT THESE BUSH ECONOMY MINI-RALLIES...

"This circus event is a pretense of fabulous new employment but in reality is an apparition. It is only a disguise or semblance of a false show. This is the grand fog, the smoke-and-mirrors ceremony, a prelude to the shearing of the Sheeple by the hedge funds enabling them to exit with profits while wooly little lambs stand crying in the rain with their bombed out stock accounts, not having a clue as to what just hit them. For the big boys [read Bush Buddies] to get out you need a rally. If you do not have one, you make one. That is what today is all about."

Better not count on a pension, either...

NOW THAT BUSH AND HIS CRONIES HAVE YOUR BACK TO THE WALL OF DEBT

Soon you'll have no way out but to pay it all back, for the rest of your natural life if necessary. Wait till your job is gone and your mortgage payments triple! And if you voted for this ripoff, you deserve every minute of what's coming!

"The Republican-controlled Senate cleared the way for a final vote as soon as today on an industry-backed bill to make it harder for consumers to wipe out debt through bankruptcy."

Welcome to the good times...

And as to that, read this and weep...

"Today the Senate is expected to vote to limit debate on a bill that toughens the existing bankruptcy law, probably ensuring the bill's passage. A solid bloc of Republican senators, assisted by some Democrats, has already voted down a series of amendments that would either have closed loopholes for the rich or provided protection for some poor and middle-class families."

About Social Security...

"When Enron crashed they were ridiculed for cooking their books. Several laws were passed that said that clear bookkeeping was required or else. Of course like everything else that did not apply to the federal government who operate on a cash basis instead of an accrual system. Under an accrual system the cost of retirement is added yearly as the liability accumulates. Private retirement systems must contribute yearly to make sure they are fully funded to cover their future expenses. In 2003 our unfunded retirement liability including social security and medicare amounted to $45 trillion dollars. That works out to $158,000 for every man woman and child living in the US today. Our official public debt is only $4 trillion dollars. Our national net worth (all private property owned by US citizens) only amounts to $42 trillion dollars. The way the federal government keeps books, however, this outstanding liability never shows up anywhere. Technically on an accrual system we are bankrupt. Any CFO in private industry would go to prison for such accounting gymnastics."

A NEW KIND OF CRIME

"You know, Bush, he’s really the evil one in here. Well, more than just him. We're the Nazis in this game, and I don't like it. I'm embarrassed and I'm pissed off. Yeah. I mean to say something and I think a lot of people in this country agree with me. A lot more never say anything. We'll see what happens to me if I get my head cut off in the next week by -- it's always unknown Bush [inaudible] strangers who commit suicide right afterward. No witnesses. They have a new kind of crime."
