Knee-deep in Bush-hatred
Unless you've been living in a hole, you know all about the massive flooding in the Midwest. The flooding in Iowa has received a lot of attention, and deservedly so. But as Iowa's floodwaters recede into the Mississippi River, folks in towns down river are struggling to keep their heads above water ... literally.
Yesterday, I found a story about breached levees in Gulfport, Illinois on AOL's Web site. I scrolled through the comments and found dozens - and I mean dozens - of posts in which President Bush was blamed for the Midwest floods. I also spied a few posts suggesting that natural disasters will more or less cease if B. Hussein Obama is elected in November (I'm not kidding).
After saying a little prayer for the flood victims in Gulfport, Illinois, I addressed AOL's Nutbucket Brigade thusly:
BREAKING NEWS: According to MSNBC.com's Keith Olbermann, dozens of witnesses in Gulfport, Illinois have told authorities that President Bush and Vice President Cheney were seen yesterday placing charges under the now-broken levees. Witnesses have also stated that Vice President Cheney was laughing like Sesame Street's Count von Count: "Bwah, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
In all seriousness, anyone who blames George W. Bush for the flooding in Iowa, Missouri, or Illinois - or who suggests that B. Hussein Obama could've stopped it - is a damn fool; and he or she should be prohibited - by folks toting firearms, if necessary - from voting this November.
I've come to the learned and astute conclusion that America's biggest problem right now is the fact that a growing number of ignorant souls are buying into Al Gore's ignorant proposition that Acts of Congress can prevent Acts of God from happening.
I absolutely weep for the future.
