I caught it from Ed


My friend Ed cannot stand George Bush. If he comes on the television, Ed will just get up and leave the room. Lord Kadizzle has apparently caught the same affliction. George just came on the television giving a speech to the parliament of Israel. The television had to go off. The man is such an embarrassment to our country. Today the NYT has an article about how top Republican leaders have told any Republican running in the fall to distance themselves from Bush. He is like a plague. Seeing the man confirms all that is wrong with our country, and gives one a sense of helplessness. Knowing we have a hard core of stupid people that support the man makes progress seem impossible. Although it seems like a small number 25% of our voting population has not yet awoken to the fact the man is an idiot. Add that number to the mildly stupid, and we could end up with another Bush presidency that has a McCain face on it. It is like watching a bad weather report or a disaster in some underdeveloped country. I am not a big fan of ignoring reality, but when Bush comes on television I choose to escape into another world where people read, think, and actually plan for the future.
