If you truly value your lives and the lives of your children then folks it’s way past time for the men in white coats!  Bush has got to go!  And the rest of this cabal posing as an administration needs to go with him.  IMPEACH BUSH NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!  Time for some of that paranoia to kick in, when men start wars and kill innocent people because “God told me to do so,” you have got to know “Houston there is a BIG PROBLEM,”and his name is George Bush!!!

Hallelujah and a great big congratulations to Mohamed ElBaradei and The International Atomic Energy Agency for winning the 2005 Nobel Prize for Peace!  It is comforting to know at least most people in this world are still committed to peaceful co-existence!

My Grandmother used to say, “a little paranoia goes a long way, it is a good thing and could maybe save your life, just in case you should ever be confronted with say, hmm, a black widow spider, or a rattlesnake, or maybe even a lying, thieving president”!  I take her advice to heart, even though I’ve never run into either a black-widow spider or a rattlesnake!  Now, a lying, thieving president is a whole other story, and since we’ve all run into him, it would be wise to be suspect of everything he says and does, because it could save our lives!

While Bush pretends to be bringing “freedom and democracy”to Iraq and other foreign places, here at home you can just plain forget it!  Free speech is limited to “Heil”Bush, and singing Bush praises!  And if you’re looking for democracy, you won’t find it in what is now Bush World, formerly known as America!  I wonder how many people would be booted off a plane in what is formerly known as America if their T-shirt had some religious phrase emblazoned across the front, which may be just as offensive to some as a T-shirt with an expletive and pictures of Bush, Cheney, and Rice is to others!  Think about it, in Bush World, formerly known as America, people are “detained”without so much as a howdyado to their families for an indefinite period of time without benefit of counsel, torture and abuse are condoned and deemed necessary for interrogation, your home is no longer your castle, you can only hear and see the leader speak over the boob tube or only if you have a ticket and belong to his adoration party, etc., etc., etc.!!  Freedom and democracy have already gone in this Bush World, formerly known as America!

Wow, can anyone say "toast," and certainly not the raise your drink kind!  Bush is beginning to look singed around the edges these days!  Unfortunately so are we, thanks to George!  When members of your own party who served under Reagan start telling the world you are an imbecile, we should all sit up and take notice, if we are to survive.  “Lt. Gen. William Odom, had this to say, "The invasion of Iraq I believe will turn out to be the greatest strategic disaster in U.S. history."

Yawn, yawn, and at this point who really cares, I’d trade the moron roosting in the White House for Bill Clinton and his shortcomings and indiscretions any day!  I’d really much prefer a Clinton over a Bush!  Life for me and my family and friends was a whole lot safer and a whole lot better when Bill was calling the shots.  Boy howdy, it would really be nice to have a man who can think on his feet, who can answer a question without notes, and who could capably and competently lead this country!  So tell Louis Freeh to stick his book where the sun don’t shine cause that’s the only place that could possibly have any interest!

“Can it be a coincidence that the White House appears to be distancing President Bush from embattled aide Karl Rove?”  Gasp, gasp, horrors upon horrors, if this is true, just who is going to whisper into the moron's ear to tell him what to say?  Just who will be able to carry Georgie’s water?  What will America do if Bush’s brain is banished to the netherlands?  What will Bush do???  One can only hope!

Beware America, the Repuglican leadership in our country are trying to “reframe”their racist attitude by covering it up and calling it “economic class”!  But you know what, racism is racism, no matter what you call it, and there are those in the Repuglican party who, while trying to tell us otherwise, are really downright dyed-in-the-wool racists! Unfortunately, as evidenced by events in recent years, we now know racism isn’t limited to just the color of one’s skin, it has become all encompassing, and the Repugs think they can get away with it because they can “fool”everyone by calling it something else!  In the end they aren’t “fooling”anyone but themselves!
