If you don't get what is wrong with this picture, I sure as hell can't explain it to you.

And that is the reason I have virtually ceased making any sort of political posts, because either I'm preaching to the choir or taking hits from people who call me partisan and stupid even though nothing Bush does resembles the responsibility conservatives pride themselves on.

But this link from oletheros is just too much for me to pass up.

"Did the President tell the entire nation that he would decrease our dependence on Middle Eastern oil? Well, he didn't mean it literally."

I keep wondering how long till kids are telling their parents, "I didn't lie to you. I just didn't mean it literally."

I'm just frustrated beyond belief. Not surprised, but frustrated and furious that this is apparently okay, and a huge portion of the nation (including some of the people reading this) think this is acceptable behavior. We deserve better. We should be demanding better.

Writing this isn't even making me feel better, just vaguely pissed off because I know someone will jump in with a response that I cannot fathom about Why Whatever W. Does Is Okay.

It's way too early to need a drink.

Oh, and you know something that bugs me? Those SUV-drivers who have those smarmy nyah-nyah "W. The President" stickers on their gas-guzzlers? They usually have two or three of them. What, are they afraid they'll forget which letter it is if they just have one?

And say what you will about me, I've never tailgated someone with a Bush sticker while holding up handwritten signs and yelling, as that asshole who scared the crap out of me in 2004 did.

He just needed to use the old Obi-Wan Kenobi "From a certain point of view" line. Works everytime...

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

That was from the original trilogy, wasn't it? So the stuff that pissed me off about the Jedi in the prequels was there in the original trilogy. Hmmmm. Stupid Jedi politicians. Some stuff is making more sense to me now.

[walkinlikecain.livejournal.com]

Just think of Yoda and Mace as Bush and Cheney...

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm seeing Obi-Wan as Bush (popularity, charms the masses), Yoda as Cheney (older than dirt, hides out a lot), and Mace as Rumsfeld (likes to blow shit up).

Heh, that really lends a new element to one of the scenes in Episode III that pissed me off the most...

Yoda: Fucked up we did.
Obi-Wan: Yup.
Yoda: Go to asshole-of-the-universe planets we will. Hide like pussies for twenty years. Then make dumbass farmboy save us we will.
Obi-Wan: Sounds good to me. I'll go to Tatooine. They have cheap hookers.

ROFLMAO!!!! OH God! I am in tears!!!! *Holds sides*

You are KEELING me. KEELING.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

And you have made my day with this comment!

(Got your email, btw. It was much appreciated and will be answered soon. :) )

[bossieboots.livejournal.com]

KEELING.

That reminds me of an idea I had to do a presidential debate animation between Yoda (Kerry), Dobby (Nader), and Gollum (Bush):

Yoda: Iraq war in wrong is. Home bring troops you must. Problem syntax with have I.

Gollum: Oil is precioussssssssss

Dobby: Don't hurt Dobby!!!!

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

We LOVES it, precious!!

Sssssssssssssussssshiiii!!!

[chicating.livejournal.com]

Cool. We match, iconically.
Right there with ya, bunk.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Of course we match! You made it! :D

Really liked the beginning of your House/Homicide fic, btw.

[chicating.livejournal.com]

He had me at "Everybody lies."
And also, he's snarky, from the Greek from butthead.(one of the residents needs to say that.)
The research for that one is scaring the crap out of me, btw. I had to stop for a while.

[copykitty.livejournal.com]

It all depends on what your definition of "is" is. :)

sorry... I hardly ever believe what The President says, no matter who it is.

Who's running in 2008?

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Who's running in 2008?

Suck, Suck, and More Suck.

[copykitty.livejournal.com]

That's it... I think you should run. We could do a platform of "shut up before I snark on you."

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I realized recently that I haven't yet reached the age I can run for president and I've already ruined my chances of ever being elected. Too many pictures of me drunk floating around the Internet. Then again, thanks to LJ, I think most of our generation has already ruined their chances of ever being elected.

[copykitty.livejournal.com]

oh yeah, that damn age thingie. Damn those rules.

If W can be a drunk then president, so can you!

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

But unlike W, I have no intention of stopping and finding Fundie Jesus. I'm more of a Hippie Jesus gal.

[copykitty.livejournal.com]

Lie. A lot. It works for everyone else :)

[10dimensions.livejournal.com]

Plus, you have too many ovaries.

[jerel.livejournal.com]

Who's running in 2008?

An idiot and a moron. You get to decide which one is which.

[ellimayhem.livejournal.com]

Reed has a sticker on his car that says F the President.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

I like that one. I'm also especially fond of "W The Idiot."

[football-swan.livejournal.com]

Rather sad that people need a visual reminder of who the Idiot in Power is, you know. I can remember all by myself, I don't need a sticker on my car.

(Since Bush was once an oil man, does that make him an enabler???)

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

I was asking myself this the minute I heard the term "addiction" used.

[football-swan.livejournal.com]

I wonder if my health insurance covers oil addiction.

This will be one huge therapy session.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Can't we just be addicted to crack like everyone else?

[football-swan.livejournal.com]

I'll take Sweet Tarts. :) Oh, just got this - thought of you.

This year, Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address fall in the same week. As Air America Radio pointed out:

"It is an ironic juxtaposition: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, and the other involves a groundhog."

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

The sad thing is, I think my boss and I discussed Groundhog Day with more interest than the other choice.

[bossieboots.livejournal.com]

That is HEAVEN. People in the town I live in who have stickers like that get 'em ripped off, however.

[mydeepbluesea.livejournal.com]

I couldn't even stomach listening to the address. We need to export him...

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

But who would take him? Talk about a case of heaven doesn't want him, and hell's afraid he'll take over!

[10dimensions.livejournal.com]

But it was just an example!

You know, of what he might do were he actually an effective president, not a liar, and not personally benefitting from dependence on oil.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Another example of what might happen in that case: Hell would freeze over!

[chicating.livejournal.com]

I can see it all now:
"President Elect Kell, I appreciate your desire to reformat the Homeland Security Department, but we can't really call it "Please Don't Be An Idiot, Thank You. Think of the stationery."

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

When I am Supreme Ruler of the Universe, EVERY department will be the "Please Don't Be an Idiot, Thank You" Department.

All that ran through my mind during his speechifying was....

Does he REALLY believe this shit? Karl Rove has his hand up GW's arse and is working his mojo, he is. Fuckers! There's a special place in hell for these s.o.b.'s. Except I don't even think Satan wants this lot.

Love your Jon Stewart drinkin icon. I must have this shiny morsel!!!

Kisses.
