Not Funny

I was thinking about buying a house, while I was waking up this morning. I had a little stream-of-consciousness moment that ended up with me wondering whether, if people were not buying many houses, would the government say that interest rates were about to start going up a lot, to prod all the teetering homebuyers into action? By this I mean, even if it weren't necessarily true...if interest rates had no previous plans of going up at all.

I decided that my answer was of course they would. It's gotten to the point now with the Bush administration where I don't so much "mistrust them" as "expect them to lie". That's a pretty sad state of affairs for your country to be in. But why wouldn't they? Why wouldn't they just keep saying exactly what they think we want to hear? None of us are going to get up and do anything about it. I honestly believe that Bush could kill a puppy on national television, then put some spin on it, and it would blow over in a couple of weeks, because we just don't care.

Consider, too, that either Jeb or Ah-nold is going to be president in 2008. Someone will run against them, but that doesn't really matter. The GOP has already shown a couple of times that it's only interested in the "winning" portion of the presidential race. And why not? What does Jeb have to lose if a few voting officials get caught tearing up liberal voter registrations, or falsifying results? There's no way they'll let that get traced back to him. Officials did get caught tearing up liberal voter registrations, this election, and nothing much happened to anyone.

There's nothing to lose by trying to lie, cheat, and steal. That's what I'm getting out of this, anyway. I hope you idiots who voted for Bush because of some phantom moral superiority you thought he represented are proud of yourselves get hit by a bus, cause that morally bankrupt fucker and his team of monkeys are driving this country into the ground.

There already is one. If his lips are moving, believe exactly the opposite of what he is saying.

If he says the sky is blue, best get out the sand bags and start bailing water.

Try buying a house in Northern Virginia. I'll buy you a bottle of Night Train.

Mr. Schwarzenegger cannot be president because he was not born here. Sorry to disappoint you. :(
