Comma fault

[geiger]

I found George Bush's characterization of the situation in Iraq as being perhaps a "comma" of history someday so offensive and jolting, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

I try not to listen to this man, normally, as it is embarassing and unbelievable still to me, how uninterested he is in learning anything about history and how indifferent he is to the plight and world views of others. It depressing and frightening when I dwell on how much this country has lost since he has been in office.

The comma comment seared my soul, though; it took a part of me, and it made me violated. I can no longer stand quietly by just shaking my head, trying not to hear. I try to keep my politics local, so as not to become consumed by my natural proclivity to "not just stand by." But over 2000 soldiers in our own country have already died; what toll the situation in Iraq is taking on its own people is unfathomable to me.

No, Mr. Bush, a comma is mark of separation within a sentence (perhaps you missed English class altogether).

No, Mr. Bush, we will NOT stand by and take threats from your Attorney General because the two of you may have missed civics class or think our Constitution "a comma" or irrelevant as well. There are to be three independent branches of government.

When the Dems take back the House and Senate in a few months, Mr. Bush, you will also have to deal with a new independent legislature as well, and the American people will rise, and you will be impeached and your cronies sent to jail (Abramoff's secretary is now Karl Rove's secretary?!!!! You guys never stop and you have become blinded by your own conceit and the filth that is your play book).

Mr. Bush, I say, your, days, are, numbered. You are incapable of imagining how offensive and out of touch you have become, and that is your undoing,

1. You missed the class where it was taught

that "we" are good. And "they" are evil. If you look at it that way, you will be be able to sleep and stop worrying about it and live much longer. See how that works?

4. Actually, I did go to that class, over and over again,

and was somehow able to see the light albeit slowly sometimes over the years. If I made it, there has got to be hope for other delusionists....

6. I like your attitude. n/t

2. "Comma" is a code word for the born again Christians.

Yesterday someone posted a popular saying among born agains - I don't have a link, but it had some inference that their god would see the stalemate in Iraq as a comma, not a period - in other words indicated Bush's intent to keep the war going.

3. and they are all going to be saved in the rapture, right?

How unthinking can people get. Will nothing jolt some of them out of their stupor?

5. Yep! Pretty soon * is going to go over completely to talking in

tongues. We will be going, what the fuck? The fundies will be pissing themselves in ecstasy.

9. Here' my thought

I suspect the chimp was groping for the word "footnote" as in "This war will be remembered as just a "footnote" in history", but his coke and drink addled brain grabs at the first thing that pops into his cranial canyon. He's just not very bright. I don't think it's code for anything, just stupidity.

10. footnote, comma, both outrageous characterizations

and dishonors every person who has died and come home permanently disabled in this "war," at the very least.

Beyond that, it's no comma in American history. He and his power fiefdom have been systematically robbing the American people, of their money, their livelihoods, their basic freedoms.

Stupidity is no defense in the face of the law.

11. I totally agree

I'm not making excuses for El Diablo, and he'll get his just comeuppance sooner or later. I just don't think he was talking in code to anyone except maybe the legions of empty Jack Daniels bottles.

12. I know, I know, but think of this

Bob Ney of Ohio, who is probably the most crooked {alive) man in the country next to Abramoff, just checked himself into Re-Hab, as if alcohol (drug?) as if that is the explanation for his corruption. And Foley of Florida is a sexual deviant; does that get him off the hook for denigrating our Constitution, too? George is sly as a fox, as Anne Richards might say, may her heart rest in peace.

pardon for bad punctuation; George is just gettin to me today I reckon.
