Crawford Ranch Roundup
Crawford Ranch Roundup
August 12, 2005

President Bush has been a very busy man this second week of his working vacation at the "Western White House," aka the Bush Ranch in Crawford, Texas. The extended vacation was ostensibly scheduled due to an urgent need to clear brush, a job that, much like defending America from terrorism, only George W. Bush is qualified to do. The brush is apparently the only thing, save shot glasses, being raised at the ranch.

On Monday, he was off to Albuquerque to sign an energy bill at the National Solar Thermal Test Facility. According to CNN, Bush "believes the nation must find new ways, besides fossil fuels, to power the economy." He touted "nucular" energy as the solution to the nation's dependence on foreign oil, despite the tour of the solar facility. The price of light sweet crude topped $63 a barrel as the bill was being signed.

Hours before, in a coup that passed unnoticed by the Bush administration, the mayor of Baghdad was deposed and replaced by Shiite Hussein Al Tahaan. He is a member of Sciri, the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq. Al Tahaan is expected to remain at his post until the Prime Minister can appoint someone to the position permanently. Whether this development bodes well for a secular Iraqi constitution is yet to be seen. A White House spokesman indicated he hadn't heard about the incident, but promised to look into it. The working/vacationing President could not be reached for comment.

1. DO you remember in the 2000 debates?
I remember Bush kept saying "I'm against nation building", even when it was totally off-topic from the debate discussion. But anyway, he really likes those vacations huh?

3. Someday, some of us should get together all of Bush's statements
and promises into one place and then show what he actually did about them. The truth and reality will of course be much different that the words.

67. "Do these people live under a rock?" No...They just DON'T CARE!
They DON'T CARE that our military is bogged down in Iraq. They DON'T CARE that attacking Iran could lead to a global hot war with Russia and China. They DON'T CARE about you or me or anyone but themselves and others of their 'superior' class. They are a fascist criminal syndicate that has insinuated itself deep within the national security state. They control the drugs, they control the oil, they control the arms market -- they control Congress and the Judiciary, they have dirt on EVERYONE -- and people like you and I and our kinds and our laws make no difference to them what so ever.

56. The spelling was terrible, too!
Removed by force? A little lady must be removed by force? Hah, she sure has them running scared!

I never realized what tremendous impact little Ms. Sheehan has had until I read this scribble. It is quite evident she really got under their skin and they are scared of her. Imagine that, the tough Iraqi warmongers are afraid of Ms. Sheehan?

Oh yeah, they show their fear of the ACLU, too. And the judicial system established by the constitution. Why do they fear the constitution so much? Why do they hate America? Why do they hate our freedoms and want to remove our rights to assemble and petition the government?

Tell ya what, freepers, come out where ever you are. I dare you to write a letter to the editor containing such trash as you've written here. You won't do it and sign your name, will you? You won't because you are chicken, and we are the fox.

58. I'm impressed. If someone said they could hit all the talking points. . .
and all the slurs in one paragraph, I'd have said it was impossible. Unfortunately, you did miss some of them, and of course, you'll have to be docked points in the technical column for run-on sentences and garbled grammar, but it's an impressive post nonetheless. Keep working on it. You're gonna be quite good when you hit your stride.

I especially liked the part where you proved beyond doubt that unsanitary killers are treated well at Gitmo, yet in the same breath say everyone associated with Sheehan will be treated like vermin in rat infested cells at that same Gitmo garden resort. I liked the way you twisted logic to fit the need of the moment. Very admirable.

Enjoy your tombstone.
