Pittsburgh P-G 's Reg Henry article this AM about pathetic Bush**.

.........but the truth is that nobody wants his name to be remembered. Everybody is profoundly sick of him. Even rabid radio talk show hosts seem to be pained when they have to speak his name, and speak it they must, presumably because of a pact they made with the devil. It goes to show that just because you are a blowhard doesn't mean you don't get sick of defending the indefensible.

Almost all other Americans when they hear his name recoil in embarrassment. To be sure, a few deluded souls are determined to resemble those fanatical Japanese soldiers who holed up in the jungles on Pacific islands refusing to believe the Second World War had ended.

To this desperate bunch of American dead-enders, the forgotten man is their emperor. There's nothing we can do for these pitiable cases except be very kind to them, knowing that nothing makes them more irritable."

1. This has been my reaction since he won the nomination the first time. I was appalled even then.

Almost all other Americans when they hear his name recoil in embarrassment.

He will NEVER, EVER be MY president.

2. I live around Pittsburgh as well,

so I to had read this today. The only part of this writing that I unfortunately have to disagree with would be:

"The forgotten man tries his pathetic best to be relevant in his changed circumstances. He has a little veto pen, which was lost for a long time, and he threatens to use it. He makes concerned noises about the forgotten economy, which threatens to become memorable now in a very bad way. But mostly it appears that he exercises and talks to his nice librarian wife about the books he forgot to read."


The ignorant man is NOT acting like a lame duck, and continues to screw things up at every turn. He will never go quietly, but kick and screaming in his best attempt to bring the rest of the country down with him.

3. Change

I've thought for a long time that politicians are weak and corrupt. However, I believe that the "change" that people are truly seeking is the end of the ill-prepared and profoundly incompetent Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice/Powell/etc. regime in our country (I refuse to refer to our country as the homeland).

4. The very word 'Homeland' implies conquests abroad

It's a word for warpigs.
