In an article entitled “Bush trumpets economy’s strength”, “President Bush shrugged off a report showing weaker-than-expected job growth on Friday and declared that “the American economy heads into 2006 with a full head of steam.”

A full head of steam? How accurately you retort pertaining your own style of communique - you bullshitting ape.

Let’s look at some facts again, shall we:

According to the U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow, the United States will have reached its statutory debt limit (currently $8.184 trillion) by February 2006. Do your people a favor, stop fucking lying to them about how such great shape their country is in (’cos they’re not buying it), drop the frigging Federal Reserve (this is your MAIN financial fuck stick, right there) - it’s killing your economy.

This article entitled The United States Is In Deep Doodoo! is scary as hell. If I were an American Citizen, I’d be smart to look for another fucking country to live in… but you know what they could do first, get you out of office by impeaching your lying ass.

President George W Bush tried to make a quick exit from a news conference in Beijing on Sunday - only to find himself thwarted by locked doors.
After answering just six questions from a group of US reporters, the president strode away heading towards the door. President Bush tugged at both handles on the double doors before admitting: “I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn’t work.”

Mr Bush was in China in the latest stop of his East Asia tour.

Great job George, yet another public display of your blatant lack of cerebral accumen. This guy ceases to amaze me with his regular displays of fuckwitism, a natural ability to humiliate himself wherever he goes.

I wonder if one could book him for a child’s party?

I love Craigslist - and this ad by an angry Democrat had me laughing. Ah, the power of the Internet and free speech, delightful.

Look out for my own ad requesting the presence of the New Orleans cops that have been charged with battery, so I can smack ‘em around like a priest in a playground. Try taking your gun belt off next time, see how tough you are then, fuck stick.

sky news recently proved to me that a picture is indeed worth a thousand words.

I don’t need to say any more.

cnn.com has just released an article outlining NASA’s plan to spend $100 billion in the next 12 years building the spacecraft and rockets to send 4 astronauts to the moon in 2018.

The article continues:

U.S. President George W. Bush called in January 2004 for the United States to return to the Moon by 2020 as the first major step in a broader space exploration vision aimed at extending the human presence throughout the solar system.

$100 billion? the moon? 2018? didn’t I just see the President of the United States of America confirming his drive to not only rebuild the Gulf Coast region, but to also promote the strengthening of American cities’ disaster plans last night on tv?

[screeching of proverbial tyres]

does the US government actually know that on paper, America is one of the poorest countries in the world due to national debt?

top 10 countries in debt

1. United States
2. Brazil
3. Australia
4. Russia
5. China
6. Mexico
7. Argentina
8. Indonesia
9. Iraq
10. South Korea

the united states is currently (approximate amount, as this figure increases at a rate of around $1.66 billion per day since September 2004) in debt of about $7,782,816,546,352.

now do the math. that’s seven trillion in debt. the debt in africa, for example, is around $62.5 billion.

[it's clear where I am going with this]

the government is going ahead with approval for $100 billion in spending to send 4 people to the moon within the next 12 years… why? can be breathe on the moon? isn’t the moon substantially smaller than earth? (it’s about 1/6th of the size) who gives a flying shit about going to the moon? it’s dead… small… no atmosphere… good god george, wake up man. please, instead of misappropriating funds on sending 4 people who we don’t really give a shit about to a piece of rock that is as dead as keith richards, let’s use that money to wipe out a national debt of some significance and save over 40 MILLION people we should care about.

and seriously, don’t even get me onto my rant about NASA. I’m sure private contractors could do it for half that cost, but no - NASA put the first man on the moon - reputation at stake.

I’m done, what a waste of money.

if you were sat in front of your television tonight around 9pm, it’s likely that you were afforded the opportunity to watch George Bush deliver his speech concerning the recent natural disaster in the gulf coast region. here we go again, another reactive apology, an ode to the people of the united states filled with a promissory note that has about as much weight as an Italian supermodel.

George, hear me out for a second… if you can pull yourself away from your robotic rattle that contains zero content of your own personal emotions. most of your speech referred to the “minority” group, the communities that were “victims of poverty” before Katrina slapped Louisiana’s taught ass. “we are going to build better, and higher…” echoed through my 18′ x 22′ living room while I winced like a post-tequila shot tee-totaler.

how about preparing? hasn’t America suffered enough through the blatant inadequate level of readiness for the inadvertent? terrorism. nature. for the last 4 years you have promised to rebuild, build higher, stronger, faster… what about saving the billions you “approve” (let’s face it, you approve shit, your advisors “advise” you to approve - you’re a pen with a head) and using that money in programs such as strengthening the water systems throughout the country, strengthening the buildings, foundations, infrastructures BEFORE something like this happens? NASA spends billions on sending a frigging satellite to mars to discover what we already know… it’s inhabitable by human life!

I remember a long time ago the British government built this funky looking thames barrier to prevent devastation should the capital’s river flood - it works. when they were putting together this crazy looking “barrier” together, the people of england were full of disbelief… why do we need flood protection? it doesn’t happen! but you know what? it won’t now! how about some proactive motion, George?

instead of running your mouth about what you’re going to do after the fact, accept responsibility for you being a complete waste of space, and sign off, approve something that assists this great country in preparedness for the unthinkable… ‘cos you know what? it’s going to happen again… and again… until you change the way you operate… it’s not about recovery, but about being ready for the worst.

and for the using the word “minority” more than once… let’s stop labeling our fellow human beings, start loving and respecting our neighbors, and help those that need it most before another alarm bell of a natural disaster comes knocking at our doors.

I would like to remark upon the reality of recent events, and indeed moreover, the current presidency and the running of the United States of America. now I’m no historian (I know cavemen hit their women over the head as part of the courting process - thwack! me… horny… you… taking…), but I know a thing or two about political movements in our recent history.

fascism was the authoritarian political movement which ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. similar political movements spread across Europe between World War One and World War Two and took several forms such as nazism and clerical fascism. neofascism is generally used to describe post-WWII movements seen to have fascist attributes.

george bush, and indeed the majority of the american presidency, has undoubtedly led this great country with an intense republican administration - and to some, has been also referred to as the “christian right”. this idea was first brought up in the cautionary novel “it can’t happen here” by sinclair lewis. cases have been made both for and against this allegation on all sides of the political spectrum.

[food for thought to follow]

me ne frego, literally “I don’t care,” closer, in meaning, to “I don’t give a damn”: the Italian Fascist motto

so I come full circle (after my blatantly biased retort above) and ask you this… the citizens of louisiana lived in 4 days worth of feces before their “leader” came to their salvation. it makes me wonder if this president, upon being advised by his… er… advisors… that hurricane katrina (apparently now known as “the bitch”) had dealt a ‘two pairs against a royal flush’ hand of fate, and his people were in immediate danger, sat back in his leather bound desk chair, and thought to himself…

me ne frego

I think we all, by now, are aware of the horrific circumstances surrounding recent events in and around the louisiana and mississippi areas. hurricane katrina came and went, leaving a trail of devastation that this country has not seen in its entire history.

why am I writing about this? I’m not here to do what most people are doing, expressing their deepest sympathies for those trapped or suffering, thirsty and starving, but more so about the abhorrent lack of fucking support these poor people are getting from their own government.

let’s look at the facts for a second:

• hurricane katrina hit the coast of the gulf of mexico on monday august 29
• an area of some 180,000 square miles of land was obliterated - an area larger than the united kingdom
• around one million people are very likely to become homeless
• currently five million people are without any power in the gulf coast region, and could take up to two months to restore
• on august 31st, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin declared martial law - however because no such term exists in Louisiana state law, it cannot officially be put into action - therefore a state of emergency has been declared instead

and more importantly:

• PEOPLE ARE DYING!

I am completely disgusted with the nation’s response to what has already been touted as america’s worst national disaster.

not so long ago, there was this pretty big wave that wiped out some islands in asia - yeah, you remember it - the tsunami. THE tsunami. such a terrible time for indeed the people directly affected, but for the world as a whole - we are a caring people, a caring race. we [the world] stepped up and raced to their rescue. within 12-24 hours of the disaster, the united nations, the united states and various other countries, including japan, were delivering food, water, clothing, transportation, medicine and anything else we thought would help. within 12-24 hours.

[pause a second, and read that again]

12-24 hours

it has been over 4 days (96 hours) since the gulf coast region got the kicking of its life. people dead. thirsty. hungry. killing. looting. starting fires. trapped for days with water up to their chins. walking through flooded streets, wading through floating corpses that are either direct hurricane victims, or the bodies of the dead from coffins that have been uprooted from local cemeteries.

to this day, no water, food, clothing, medical supplies or anything to help these hundreds of thousands of victims has been sent to this area - NOTHING!

michael brown, the head of FEMA, reported yesterday, and allow me to quote the prick, “those New Orleans residents who chose not to heed warnings to evacuate before Hurricane Katrina bear some responsibility for their fates.” am I reading this right? he’s actually spouting words that criticize the actions of those that are now dying? can anything be done right now about their actions on monday of this week? the answer is very simple indeed - no, it cannot. so listen mike, we’ve had enough of your politically correct media statements, you do not have the balls to admit you dropped the ball, and you are, essentially, allowing people to die - fellow americans. how could you possibly have that position you hold as head of FEMA, when you don’t have the sack to make split second, life saving decisions - you make me nauseous.

george bush. for fuck’s sake, you’re about as useful as a billy goat’s tit. oh hang on, you did at least make a trip in your air farce one plane over the devestated areas earlier this week. but really, ask yourself, is that enough? fuck no. you are the president of the free world. the leader of a nation that is at the forefront of economic growth and the future of our earth. so tell me, how come you still have your thumb up your texan sphincter and not down there, wading through the human-feces-ridden streets as your “fellow” americans have been doing for the most of this week? I’m sure you feel that you have done your part thus far… the fly over, cancelling your summer vacation… calling the hurricane response “not acceptable”… then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! make some decisions, people have to listen to you, you’re the president. get the nation’s trucking companies to drop by poland spring for water donations, supermarkets to stock up on food, and get this relief aid to those that NEED it.

people are using the streets as toilets, people are dying by the dozen, their are no police down there, the area is stricken with death in the air.

isn’t it amazing how a president will choose popularity concerning international relations by swooping on the asian tsunami victims in delivering aid, over saving his own people - people that pay taxes to have their livelihoods taken care of, by the same man.

george, stand up, or move over - your people need you now more than ever - the clock is ticking.
