| Guyarthurthomas | Posted – 7/6/2008 8:21:31 PM | show profile Yeah, with Bush's magical powers he astonishingly conjured up Hurricane Katrina just to get black people (hahahahaha Spike Kanye you are funnier that circus monkeys), he just recently waved his magic wand to produce the floods in the midwest, he has personally cast a spell it appears that has started and maintained wildfires. Any other astonishing magical powers you want to attribute to Bush? Man you poor saps are desperate to blame someone for being such losers in life. You never figured out how to earn a living where you can purchase a house or how to get along with your mate in order to have an enjoyable marriage or maintain stability and growth at even your unskilled level of labor and it's always BUSH'S fault or some evil Republican....hahahahahahahaha Next Please! |

| UGoGirl | Posted – 7/6/2008 11:25:30 PM | show profile Conservatives are funny... the other day I was talking to a couple of them about Carter. They were saying how awful, horrible he was... did this and that... then we talked about Bush and I said how he is certainly one of the worst if not the worst presidents we've had, because of debts, the economy, energy prices, civil rights, destruction of the environment, etc. etc. And they say, well no one person is responsible for the whole government. But wait a minute, I say, just a couple of minutes ago you were saying how awful Carter was because of inflation, the economy, etc.? Double standards... funny how they are. |
| chucho | Posted – 7/7/2008 4:30:34 AM | show profile My favorite story of the Bush administration's FEMA magic (besides the logo they created, which is hilariously idiotic): http://gillinc.blogspot.com/uploaded_images/FEMA.Disaster-716009.jpg (Notice how it begins and ends with the word "Disaster". This is the same administration that created this logo: http://www.sourcewatch.org/images/d/d1/IAO-logo.png Oh, and tried to make this the new Iraqi flag at one point: http://img.slate.com/media/1/123125/2079215/2093179/2098572/2101355/2101356/2101357/02_NewIraqFlag.jpg Which looks a lot like this: http://passaicnews.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/israeli-flag.jpg But back to Bush's FEMA "magic" -- One of my favorite stories about idiocy and incompetence related to FEMA was that FEMA paid $3 million to a private contractor to store leftover ice from the Katrina disaster relief for three years after the hurricane. . . than paid $1.2 million to melt it. |
| Stanley_Milgram | Posted – 7/7/2008 7:29:16 AM | show profile yeah, the onion story is funny. When the Total Information Awareness logo came out, I had it as my desktop image, but I hadn't seen the FEMA one. Not sure if I should save it in my Bushco Unintentional Satire folder (already quite large) or, since it seems to suggest that everything they do leads back to disaster, to start a new "Truth in Advertising" folder. |
| chucho | Posted – 7/7/2008 8:26:45 AM | show profile Nice "Onion" reference. But let's be clear -- since you aren't always forthcoming -- those logos are real, and they were created by the geniuses in this administration. I wouldn't want anyone to think your reference to the "Onion" is you implying that these aren't rel logos, though, I gotta admit, if the geniuses of the Bush admiinstration hadn't come up with this crap themselves, the Onion might have. By the way, genius, I recommend you read the Katrina report entitled "A Failure of Initiative," which was written by a REPUBLICAN House select committee before you start with this nonsense about how any criticism of the Bush administration is just liberal nonsense. This eleven manner REPUBLICAN House committee cites 90 failures of government, and questions Michael Chertoff's ability to prepare for any potential terrorist crisis since he performed so badly with Katrina. I don't waht side you 'rethink you're on, but if you still clinging desperately -- like 17% of Americans according to Bush's approval rating -- to this idea that Bush is not a failed presidency, then you are on the wrong side of history, my friend, just like all those pro-life people and whatever other wingnuts are in that minority o people who think Bush has done a good job (??). I will leave you with my favorite quote form The Great Government Failure that is Katrina emergency response by FEMA regional director Marty Bahamonde on Aug. 31, 2005 after he discovered that he couldn't speak to the FEMA director because Mr. Brown was busy getting a table at Ruth Chris' Steak House while tens of thousands of people were stranded in the Superdome: "Just tell her that I just ate an MRE and crapped in the hallway of the Superdome, along with 30,000 other close friends, so I understand her concern about busy restaurants." You lose. |

I thought you were someone else who tends to reply with condescending sarcasm. Sorry. |
| Metro Writer | Posted – 7/8/2008 2:19:55 PM | show profile 17% approval rating? Are you sure that's not a typo and was actually 1.7%. I can't imagine how it can be that high except for the few who benefited from the tax cuts and no-bid contracts. |
| chucho | Posted – 7/8/2008 3:00:47 PM | show profile Actually, it's closer to 22% or so, it was wishful thinking on my part. But considering his 90% approval rating after 9/11 he's really plummeted and all he has left now at the Guyarthurthomases of the United States -- people so entrenched in their views that it would take a real life-altering experience for them to even question their conviction. But, secretly, I know a good percentage of these folks will talk the talk and either not vote or vote for Obama (not my candidate of choice, by the way) -- they just don't want to be "outed". Believe it or not there are people whose pride and reputations depend on them never admitting that their views might be worth questioning. But that's what I love about Ameirca, they have a place, too -- in the nation's mega malls, Wal Marts, NASCAR raceways, shooting ranges, pick-up truck dealerships and WWF events. They are welcome to live in my country, and they have a right -- as a minority -- to the same protections afforded other minorities. :) |
| Mag Girl | Posted – 7/8/2008 4:27:15 PM | show profile chucho- not everyone in those shooting ranges is conservative....I gotta keep up my target practice when I wield a gun during my neighborhood's break-ins. Just sayin.! |

| chucho | Posted – 7/8/2008 5:25:58 PM | show profile Mag - I think it depends on context. If you're shooting empty bottled of Cuttyshark off a broken washing machine in your front yard while high on meth listening to Toby Keith on a Monday afternoon, well then if it quacks like a duck. . . |
| Mag Girl | Posted – 7/8/2008 5:30:19 PM | show profile What about just a nice little 9mm while sipping pinot grigio? |
| chucho | Posted – 7/9/2008 5:16:35 AM | show profile If you are referring to a GLOCK: It has a hair trigger and it's top heavy (the handle is made from polymer) which i think makes it difficult to aim at longer rages. Not sure why cops love em so much. The Python .357 is a scary gun. Pull that out on somebody and instill the fear of God in them. Shoots through doors, too. Also, you don't litter shell casings everywhere -- god for reducing physical evidence at the scene of the shooting -- just in case. Oh and pinot grigio? Food & Wine magazine jokes that the label reads: "An innocuous, uninteresting wine. Pair with pasta, chicken and fish." I'm such a lib-ril elitist. |
