The previous post in this blog was Big night.
The next post in this blog is Twice as much nothing.
Many more can be found on the main index page or by looking through the archives.
I don't do this as a rule, but my comment I made on Chuck Butcher's column seems to fit here as well:
"I refuse to watch the lip-smacking, smirking son-of-a birth[ I apologize to all female canines].
This is from Greg Palast, one of my heroes.
"In his State of the Union, the President asked Congress for $300 million for poor kids in the inner city. As there are, officially, 15 million children in America living in poverty, how much is that per child? Correct! $20.
Here’s your second question. The President also demanded that Congress extend his tax cuts. The cost: $4.3 trillion over ten years. The big recipients are millionaires. And the number of millionaires happens, not coincidentally, to equal the number of poor kids, roughly 15 million of them. OK class: what is the cost of the tax cut per millionaire? That’s right, Richie, $287,000 apiece."
There was much more about how vouchers are helping poor rich folk and does nothing for a real poor family. What school will take a kid for $3,500.00 for the year? In Oregon $7,000.00 is the state financed amount. But a rich family can use it and considered it 3-4 car payments on a Mercedes."
Reading the text of Bush's speech was an exercise in boredom, nausea, and disgust.
"The cost: $4.3 trillion over ten years." In this case "cost" may better be stated as loss, as in the government's revenue loss. I hope Obama's Administration is up to balancing the federal budget.
The brain infection is less his doing, despite that The Fright House noisily catapults bucket bombs of the propaganda; rather, the most of the effort to stick it in your ear daily comes from the massmind media bosses of you, such that on days when the idiot records nothing, the brain benders replay his sound previously recorded.
Try it. Go 24 hours without hearing The Voice. A gag on that mouth to your ears is damn near impossible. Since I became aware of it, (it is subtle, almost subliminal in the massmedia noise barrage), I have quite deliberately tried to put a sock in it, such as quickly punching the all-music button on the car radio, or diving for the remote Mute when some news set-up starts, (and now 'they' counter-trick the format and play the audio abrupt, no intro -- too late to stop -- and after your dosage 'they' context it). I have been working at stuffing his throat, and it takes extraordinarily fast mind and finger coordination to silence the pest. My best time so far is less than 48 hours.
Already a snip of the idiot's preach speech got through my barricade.
I love it when he says he's going to sprint to the finish. Relax, Mr. President. You've done way too much already, and besides, you've almost run out of things to screw up.
It used to be fun watching these speeches and identifying people in the crowd.
Last night I just found myself saying, "War criminal. Accomplice. War criminal. Accomplice."
The "preemptive strike" on Iraq - as even Neo-Con Richard Perle now admits - was a crime. A crime against Iraq and a crime against our own men and women in uniform.
I watched the speech last night. The biggest thing I noticed was all the sour apples on one side being upset because somebody was jumping into their barrel
Dang, the immmaturity of the left is astonishing. Grow up! We all know you hate Bush. Can you take on his ideas?
BTW, 911 should be mentioned its not like Islamic Fascists who wilsh to kill as many of us as possible have ceased to exist.
Lower taxes just make sense. Freedom demands that we not punish the porductive. Look this government was not founded to make income equal among the productive and less productive.
"Dang, the immmaturity[ immaturity ]but who would expect a Right winger to spell. of the left is astonishing. Yup we is ignorant of the Rights greed.Save us from ourselves and let slavery Begin.
Excellent speech from a decent man. Those who hate him need meds and therapy for their irrational anger. he and his family brought class and dignity back to the White House. he started his term with the worst disaster in our history and has managed to plow ahead in the face of hatred from the press, the democrat losers and wimps from over-seas......thank you Pres Bush for keeping your cool..............
Wow. Reality check, massmind media victims: Bushbutcher's pappy staged Nine-Eleven Op for him, massmurder incinerating 3000 souls instantly and tens of thousands more in the slow torture death of pulmonary constrictions and complications from lung-embedded microfine dust everyone across Manhattan breathed, unwarned, for days and weeks afterward.
See, gravity ain't powerful enough to make microfine dust of steel, glass, concrete and asbestos.
And on the phony-terrorist basis of that Nine-Eleven Op atrocity -- get a clue: in reality, the airlines had NO record of any ticket sold or seat reservation for one single named nonexistent 'hijacker' -- then military invasion of Afghanistan, securing the oil and gas pipeline path from the Caspian Basin to the seacoast, and invasion of Iraq, to steal oil and gas, has ended the lives outright of over two million humans and destroyed malingering uncounted lives, at least ten million souls more.
No, you shall have no relief from being attacked and rebuked for your bushbutcher collaborator words, and don't you dare ever state bushbutcher killed for any cause thousands of America's youthful military troops and our friends and relatives whose lives he has destroyed and ended for NO right and NO reason, and don't you dare ever know one moment's peace in your own tormented life of malicious liar.
Your derogatory is done, and does you in, speaking your hateful and hatred words as to those who name bushbutcher, massmurderer, in truth. Speak your lies no more, forever. Bushbutcher is damned. Suffer your own ignorance and oblivion.

I stopped watching the "state of union, state, city" speeches years ago. I do, however, find it interesting to read what the pinheads think of them.

Can the kids spend the $20 on anything they want?
I'm not a millionaire, but I certainly appreciate lower tax rates, especially on capital gains and dividend income.

No prez in memory had his voice in your ear every day; except bushbutcher. Every. damn. day.
Try going all day without hearing the bite of that voice.
