State of the Union

I don't like George W. Bush. His agendas bother me.

This post deals with that and my thoughts about politics in general. Read it if you want OR go back to stealing stuff. It doesn't make much difference to me.

Well, I was wrong. Kerry lost. Granted, I was basing my confident presumption on the play of the Washington Redskins (they lost to the Packers), but that's what I get for predicting the presidential election on the outcome of a football game. So now we have four more years of Bush. Not good. But then, four years of Kerry would not have been any better. Marginally, maybe. But in the long run, not much better.

Everyone says, "Lesser of two evils! I picked the lesser of two evils!" But what does that mean? It means, by voting for the lesser of two evils we are validating that the system is evil (and if you voted Third Party, please stop being so deluded, its a valiant effort, but you only have two choices, evil or less evil). Picking someone who is "less evil" is like picking the less psychotic serial killer. Do you want the one who's imaginary dog named Bob commanded him to wear that little boy's head as a hat for a week straight OR do you want the one who thinks trees are his enemy and the only way to escape the menacing stares of the Ash and Oak trees is to eat the lower intestines of the elderly?

So what does for more Bush years get us? Lower taxes? Maybe. We'll see how long that lasts with the deficit growing out of control. More War? Probably. I've got five dollars that says we'll be in Iran before 2006. Environmental Protection? Not on your life. And the sad truth is, I don't care. Humanity screwed itself a long-long time ago.

"Nature is, in unsuspected obscurity, equipping some now humble creature
with wider possibilities of appetite, endurance, or destruction to rise in the
fullness of time and sweep Homo away into the darkness from which his
universe arose. The Coming Beast must certainly be reckoned in any
anticipatory calculations regarding the Coming Man."
- H.G. Wells

And yes, this won't happen for thousands and thousands of years. But I do hope it happens and I hope humanity doesn't even see it coming.

So . . . four more years. I'm disappointed, don't get me wrong but the worst specter about four more Bush years is all the whining liberals that will continue to crawl out of the woodwork. I know you don't like Bush, I know you have a problem with the Republicans but, and this is a big BUT, apparently the rest of America doesn't. The rest of America likes him, and they like him a lot. (And none of that "Bush hacked the vote" stuff. Even if he did, good for him. Nothing will come of it. In fact, it's genius. Now you have crazy liberals run around yelling "Bush hacked the vote! He used his computer to change the vote!" That sounds about as silly as asking for the definition of "is." But they both got away with it. However, if this did happen, and the media grows some balls, I will laugh as Democracy and Justice and Liberty for All spin in their grave. We all know they're dead)

So as the democrats whine and churn up anger, they start to resemble the angry right wing from the 1990s that couldn't stand to look at Clinton, let alone say his name. To all the Angry Democrats and Liberals: go ahead, keep on talking and being pissed off, you just become the thing you hate the most. Close-minded, hate-mongering, bumper-sticker placing, mud-slinging, feeling physically sick at the mention of Republicans, wanting desperately to impeach the president that can't be touched, members of the Democratic Party. That used to be you, sitting high and mighty and now look at you, can't even muster a majority in the House or the Senate. And this is a good thing, or the worst string of events ever to befall this great country, depending on where you stand.

And I still don' care. This county was founded by the most stuck-up group of sexually repressed, close-minded jerks to ever leave the Old Country. If I was in Europe in the 1600s I would have been persecuting the Puritans too.

And now I'm on my knees praying for God (the right-wing, happy with the homophobic Republicans that uses his name to justify every lie and piece of evil they participate in) to send the Coming Beast with in the next four years, before I have to go to war in Iran and before I have to watch another Bush run for the presidency. Hell, do it tomorrow.

Amen
