Spin the Wheel

There are just SO many topics of shame to chose from, I think I need a wheel to spin.

There's the rumors of a "relationship" between Dubya and Condi...can I just comment on that by saying...EWWWWW!!! Here's a man who can rarely speak without tripping over his tongue...can NEVER ride a bicycle without doing bark-damage to the plant world he rides into, and claims "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" in a splashy photo-staged extravaganza then has the nerve to accuse the OTHER party of "Cut and Run" tactics because they want a definitive date for the END of that Mission Accomplished. This is the SAME Dubya that proclaimed he would bring HONOR back to the White House after the "horrid" lies told by the former President about...horrors upon horrors...HIS PERSONAL LIFE. This is the same Dubya that thinks he is ABOVE the Constitution...such a pesky piece of nonsense dontcha know...and that unlike the TRUE function of the Executive Branch...(EXECUTING THE LAWS)...he's authorized by powers unknown to anyone with ANY knowledge of politics, to MAKE THE LAWS AS HE SEES FIT! OK...Maybe that last bit might give him a MODICUM of appeal to someone like Condeleesa Rice...but still I say EWWWWWWWW!!!!

I mean, seriously...Has anyone noticed how Laura Bush's mouth has morphed into the sour look one would get if one had been sucking on a lemon for a VERY long time? Doesn't that suggest just how much of an EWWWWW we are talking about here?

Moving On...For the first time I find myself having to applaud Arnold Swartzenneger. (How bizarre is that?) Seems CA's stellar governor had the moxie to REFUSE Bush's request,(demand)that California send its National Guard to stomp the length of the Mexican Border. I never thought I would find a reason to praise CA's governor, but I am now in that position. Swartzenegger and Qwest Communications...You give us hope!

To Senators Lautenberg and Menendez...YAY!!! Thank you for voting FOR a deadline for the debacle in Iraq this week. These two men comprise the senators from NJ. (You know...right across the Delaware from where we have Rick Santorum, Senator from PA ANNOUNCING this week that WMDs HAVE been found in Iraq...those powerfully degraded, virtually harmless OLD and long forgotten...by Saddam himself...stockpiles from back in the late 80's WMDs that Santorum proudly touts as REAL FINDS...((Doesn't that smack of the ORIGINAL CLAIMS by Dubya and his band BACK in 2002 as the erroneous and long proven inaccurate reasons we went to Iraq?))...as he smirks that oily smirk he has become so infamous for.)

Senators Lautenberg and Menendez voted the way MOST of America WANTS their representatives to vote. I want our military ACTUALLY fighting the ones responsible for 9/11...NOT the demi-alQaida leaders that our invasion of Iraq has let rise to delusions of power.

To those who are overseeing the out-of-control spending of Dubya's posse', I say...GET OFF YOUR DUFFS AND OVERSEE!!!

If Dubya had been applying for a job when he threw his Stetson into our Political arena he would have been canned long ago. Think about all the lies he told to get Americans to vote for him. I think it is time we Americans demanded that our politicians keep the promises they make rather than making them just so they can get elected, then quickly forgetting about them. Our government's representatives should be trustworthy...O.K., O.K., I KNOW they are NOT, but just because that is the way things HAVE been done, doesn't mean it is the way things SHOULD be done. Deceit is deceit whether it manifests itself under oath...(Blll Clinton's allegedly Impeachable crime)...or whether it rears itself aboard an aircraft carrier in front of a sign that says "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED". If you make a promise while running or representing, you owe it to those who entrusted the power of their vote to you, to come through. Lies on the stand in a Court Room are considered a crime...why aren't lies told from the voting platform, the Capitol floor, the White House podium...the White House Press Room...The Pentagon, etc., etc., etc.?

Can you imagine the corporate world allowing management to get away with the level of incompetence shown by the current band of merry buffoonss within the Beltway?

The wheel just keeps spinning. It is REALLY hard figuring out which topic of shame to write about. Maybe I'll figure it out next time.

For now, I apologize for my lack of topic.
