Shot In The Dark: Bush In Town

December 09, 2005

Bush In Town

Yes, I got a call. No, I could not manage a grand for admission. Not that I'd have had the time today anyway.

Other people? Well, they have all sorts of time on their hands:

DFL Senate candidates, party leaders, liberal organizations and peace groups have been outdoing each other to stage creative protest efforts or to make policy statements.

Moveon.org, a national liberal group with a strong presence in Minnesota, collected signatures on the Nicollet Mall on Thursday for a petition that demands that Republicans produce a plan for withdrawing from Iraq.

Sigh.

Sigh again.

Someone explain to me exactly why this proposal - giving the enemy a big red-letter day to circle on their calendar - isn't of direct assistance to the terrorists?

Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar, a DFL U.S. Senate candidate, went to the University of Minnesota on Thursday and collected what she called "Reality Checks" for Kennedy -- statements signed by students protesting Kennedy's votes for budget cuts that include student loan programs.

The loans and the massive government grant programs are, of course, why college is too expensive to afford in the first place - but then, Amy Klobuchar is a DFLer; she doesn't need to know anything about economics.

Welcome to Never-Neverland, Mr. President.

Hope you have a nice stay and a safe trip back to Dumbassville!

Bush is visiting NYC next?

Kermit, dude. You're following me around on this blog like a dude with a crush on a chick. It's creeping me out.

Are you afraid I'll come between you and Mitch? Or do you simply claim sole right to idiotic posts here? I wouldn't want to spoil a franchise.

Actually, since Washington D.C. is awash in liberal dogma, having a safe trip back to Dumbassville is probably not far off the mark.

Ah yes, Never-neverland, where the boys never grow up. Sounds like Minneapolis to me.

They don't call it the Minneapple for nothin'.

Angry.. I need to take some of your pills, you crack me up.

Ryan, you DO realize that D.C. Government is dominated by Repugs right now? I mean, you are concious aren't you?

Anyway, I'm gonna cut Angry a break and assume he was talking about Texas (since that's where Bush spends most of his working time (working on the ranch, working on his tan)). Ah Texas, where executing the mentally retarded is exceeded in glee giving only by dragging blacks to death behind trucks.

My neice grew up in Houston and had 3 years of Texas history (mandatory) between 1st and 12 grade (I think it's actually like between 5th and 12th, but I don't recall well enough). That's three years to study mostly a what, 13 year period? Who says you can't waste too much time in school? Texas ranks 49th in education last I checked (I can't figure out why), so I'll gladly stay in Neverland than have to live in the land of 10 Million village idiots.

By the way, what are all you wingnuts doing in Minnesota? In my experience it's a state of decent, earnest, slightly slow-witted folk, a good many of whom are politically progressive. All of these are anathema to the right! (Except the "slow-witted" part, I mean)("anathema" means real real bad). So why do you stay? Your low-tax, lower IQ homeland exists today! It's called "Alabama." Why don't you head on down? I'm sure your neighbors would be happy to spring for bus fare!

Sweet home Minnesota!
Where the lakes are so blue.
Sweet home Minnesota!
Lord I'm staying here with you.

Sweet home Minnesota!
Politics ain't so blue.
Sweet home Minnesota!
Change is coming soon to you.
Here it comes...

"Change is coming soon to you.

Yup, here it comes. Instead of finding the President and Rep. Kennedy marginally unpleasant they are now reviled throughout the state. Here it comes indeed.
