one bad guy, one good guy

you know, i find it disturbing the degree to which i'm still, after all these years, capable of being surprised by our goddamn cockbag of a president. seriously, shouldn't i have expected him to veto the stem cell bill? shouldn't i have expected that he would actively decide to do nothing to prevent another hurricane katrina? this jackass gets two chances in the course of his presidency to actually actively save thousands and thousands of lives and he fucking squanders them both. but really, let's thank god that, while thousands of people who are actually people are getting killed in iraq for no reason, we're saving the lives of hundreds of masses of cells that never would have been people anyway.

and then. and THEN. he goes and speaks to the NAACP, after turning them down five years in a row. are you kidding me? and then this asshat gets up there and invokes LINCOLN. lincoln's gotta be spinning in his grave after this one. and then he lets loose with this gem: "I come from a family committed to civil rights. My faith tells me that we are all children of God — equally loved, equally cherished, equally entitled to the rights He grants us all."

in what way has anyone in the bush family ever demonstrated a commitment to civil rights? and while we're at it, equally entitled to rights? hmm. someone should ask him how this applies to, i don't know, gay marriage. or the right to expect that, if your city gets flooded, someone will come help you. or the right to vote without being misled, mistreated, or otherwise disenfranchised. idiot!

and now for a much more pleasant subject. for the boy who has been ever-so-patiently waiting for a blog mention: here it is! consider yourself mentioned! i know it's not much, but let's call it the first pancake of blog mentions. and, you're cute. the end!
