Does anyone question why it took Bush 441 days after 9/11 to appoint the Commission to investigate?
I think if you're over 10 years old you have -- or should have -- come to grips with the fact that government in general and the US government in particular is a huge, ponderous, dull-witted coagulation of MERE HUMANS who are where they are because they either mistakenly believe they were born to rule, or mistakenly believe they can correct the mistakes of those who believe they are born to rule.
Just turn on your radio and listen to the campaign ads for *any* candidate. Without exception, they glorify themselves and demonize their opponent(s). "Jim Bob Snickelfritz supports murdering innocent puppies with chainsaws. Joe Bob Cornholer says, 'not on my watch!'. This message paid for by Concerned Citizens for Joe Bob Cornholer."
My view is that the people most qualified for the job(s) very rarely aspire to government positions, because they realize the game is far too stupid and unproductive to merit their effort. They instead contribute to improving humanity through their artistic endeavors, their scientific advances, their technological innovations, their altruistic charity, their entrepreneurial acumen, and so on.
I am not a crook.
We did not (repeat, did not) trade weapons or anything else for hostages, nor will we.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time, never.
Something about going to Washington turns people into idiots. There is anecdotal and circumstantial evidence to suggest George W. Bush wasn't really an idiot before he became President.
I'm not a slobbering fan of JFK, but I can't think of a US president since JFK who wouldn't have either died of terminal nervous flatulence or else been forcibly committed to the Betty Ford clinic if he'd had to deal with the Cuban missile crisis, hot on the heals of the disasterous Bay of Pigs fiasco.
The bottom line is that the government's strongest suit is deflecting and redirecting criticism, dodging responsibility, and denying failure, incompetence, and what my grandmother used to call "Olive Drab Government Issue Dumbassedness."
After the "shoe bomber" was caught, we had government employees in airports checking the shoes of 8 year old Honkey McHonkersons with x-ray machines and bomb-sniffing dogs. If that's not the picture of failing to see both the forest and the trees, I don't know what is.
I'm sick to death of the 9/11 CTers, because their entire premise is that they wanted to go to war in Iraq --- FOR WHICH THEY WOULD EVIDENTLY NEED THE APPROVAL OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC --- so in order to gain that support they schemed a way to murder 3000-ish innocent American citizens, an act for which they presumably sought no public support.
Screw the hell out of these
retards.*** They pissed me off at first, then I came to laugh at them, now they're just tedious. Bleh.
*** Don't get your little pink thong in a bunch. A "retard" can be mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, musically, and culturally retarded. Phooey upon you.
