Perfect. Just perfect. Since B*sh's main legacy is getting people killed.

13. Shit Howdy I Thought They Were Freedom Lovers Resting Nests
All isn't safe and wonderful in bird land? Well shit how fucked up is that?

Is there a cuckoo bird who can comment? I am stunned I tell you really appalled.

Bush looked like a fucking tin robot today. Now I know he always does but today you would have thought they would have given him a special drug to make him appear human.

Alas no such drug exists. The dude is a caricature of himself. PATHETIC. SICKENING. FRAUDULENT.

Hey Brits kick his fucking ass to hell when he shows his simian face in London.

This little turd needs a wake up call.

11. Hey, remember Funeralgate, when all those bodies
started popping up across the South? As I recall, Bush was Governor of Texas at the time, and he had helped some corrupt mortuary break the law. But we aren't talking about pollution; this corporation littered the great outdoors with HUMAN BODIES! The media didn't give it much press.

Texecutioner, Funeralgate, Cemetery Expansion Act - do you see a trend?

12. They Missed One
There is a new one opening up near Ft Campbell, KY in 3 days. The Veterans in the area have already made arrangements. I wonder how many other cemeteries wern't mentioned in the article?
