"My Fellow Americans -- Get Stuffed!"(Ben Tripp)
From Counterpunch.org:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Can't We All Just Get Along?
A Few Thoughts on the Recent Election
By BEN TRIPP

My fellow Americans, get stuffed. After four years of a government with all the integrity of a syphilitic pimp shoplifting at Woolworth's, it comes to this: you want more. The maladministration of George W. Bush is a disaster, the first four years of which will echo down the dust-farinated halls of history, turning heads for centuries like an outburst of flatulence at the New York Public Library. But another four years of this mincing pack of rabiators will guarantee us a noise that will be heard in eternity. Even George Washington will be forgotten, two thousand years from now. History is full of guys like him: remember Caecilius Metellus? Won the battle of Pydna, 148 BC? Me either, but he had George Washington's chops back in the day. I know it's hard to imagine, but American history will someday be very old news indeed, and even the greatest men will be reduced to a name. George W. Bush will rank highest among these. Here is a schoolchild's rhyme from the year 4,327 AD:

Columbus named America in 1492,
Lincoln fixed it when it broke in two,
Things were good for a couple hundred years
'Till George W. Bush: the Bum of All Fears."

~ snip ~

1. this is great - I love this part
There is no common good any more. Jesus Christ Himself would barf all over his anointed feet to see you venal, venomous vermin vituperate via votes. You elected George W. Bush, the Pontius Pilate of our age. Quit playing the outraged outsider, Christian soldiers. You got away with another election, you outnumbered the righteous, and we will all get everything you deserve.


so true, so sad.
