It’s pretty obvious why we’re in the state we’re in when you listen to this dumbass.

It was recently uncovered that Bush scored a 57 on an IQ test while he was in middle and high school. Mild mental retardation numbers. Here’s my favorite quote from this article.
“When he was here last week,” said King Abdullah at his ranch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, “begging us to lower oil prices, our interpreters had to speak very slowly, every so often asking if he had to go doody.”

Press TV – US lawmaker: Recession result of war
“I think actually the spending in the war might help with jobs…because we’re buying equipment, and people are working. I think this economy is down because we built too many houses and the economy’s adjusting,” he said in the NBC’s Today Show on Feb 18th.

Judy Bachrach, a contributing editor for Vanity Fair magazine, blindsides Brigitte Quinn of Fox News when she’s brought on to comment on Bush’s inauguration and instead of placating Fox News gives them a piece of her mind. Moments like this are priceless.
If you want to download an mp3 of it I’ve taken the liberty of hijacking it.

And for you sentimental folks here’s the Jon Stewart Crossfire in mp3 as well.

This is too good to not share. I came across this DVD at Hollywood Video and laughed outloud when I read the back which says:
“No sitting president since Abraham Lincoln has talked as much about God as George W. Bush, and none has so boldly, publicly, and genuinely lived out his faith on the job. As the leader of the free world, Bush bears an enormous responsibility, and its weight drives him to his knees…in prayer and supplication.
Says BBC correspondent Justin Webb, “Nobody spends more time on his knees than George W. Bush. The Bush administration hums to the sound of prayer. Prayer meetings take place day and night. It’s not uncommon to see White House functionaries hurrying down corridors carrying Bibles.”
This powerful program is a unique insider’s look at how one man’s dedication to prayer and the daily application of God’s word transformed his life and leadership. His dependence upon God gave him the clarity of vision and quiet confidence needed to lead us through the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.”
My only question is when can I get the Special Edition box set with Baby’s First Bible and Speak and Spell Speech Writer?

Great article about Joe White (of Change the Climate), who’s battling a smart attack on the ridiculous drug policies in this country. He picks his fights carefully and makes headlines that get the message across. These laws are so fucking stupid! They just won a court battle with the MBTA in Boston who were trying to ban their ads from the subway.
They poster buses and subways with ads like:
“Enjoy better sex! Legalize and tax marijuana.”
“Why do kids go to jail for doing what politicians did when they were young? Tell us the truth.”
“5.2 million marijuana arrests since 1992. It cost you $4.5 billion. Is it really worth it?”
My favorite part:
“Change the Climate-with the ACLU’s legal support-celebrated George W. Bush’s inauguration by placing 560 pro-marijuana reform ads on Washington Metro buses and subway stations. Initially, the Metro rejected Change the Climate’s submission, but they backed down when we threatened to sue, and they realized they’d lose in court.”
Update: A gem from the Change the Climate site:
” According to Brown (1997:40): “When young people recognize that they are being taught to follow directions, rather than to make decisions, they feel betrayed and resentful. As long as federal mandates force this charade, drug education programs and policies will continue to fail.”

“So far, the Iraq war has cost about $130 billion”
That means over 656 days of being at war has cost $198,730,732 per day!!
This also means that our $350 million for tsunami relief equals 42.27 hours of the war.

“‘You cannot choose the land of your birth. You can choose the land you love,’ Lissa Morgenthaler-Jones says in the ads.”
Is it just me or is America getting dumber?
Calif. group to air ads backing amendment to let Schwarzenegger run for president
“Ashcroft says judges threaten national security by questioning Bush decisions”
Say WHAT? Yea we can’t have anyone questioning the president. I mean what sense does that make? He knows what’s best for the country and couldn’t possibly have other motives right? Riiiight.
Well, guess what John, take your $2000 curtain, your ridiculous songs, and your war against porn (yes I’m serious) and go home.

Get used to headlines like these for the next 4 years folks. Separation of church and state? What’s that?

Directions: Before the evening gets underway, fill out the map with your prediction about who will win each state, Bush or Kerry. As the results come in, mark them on your map. If your guess was right, take one drink. If your guess was wrong, drink the number listed in that state (numbers based on difficulty of calling states). Watch the news carefully: special phrases have social drinks associated with them.

I thought I’d post an update I just saw on Boing Boing about the John Gilmore v. Ashcroft case.
Ashcroft tried to file a secret brief to keep the secret law a secret, but the court said no secrets allowed.
Why am I suddenly reminded of elementary school.
