Imagine all of the positive things that could have been achieved

if shrubby and co. has spent half as much time being civil and decent instead of trying to fuck everyone over.

I have never seen a group of people so hell bent on destroying everything and everyone that they come in contact with. I honestly cannot think of one good thing that these assholes have done.

That is pretty sad.

1. You're assuming shrubby and co. WANTED to do positive things.

Basically, I always figured the Dubster just wanted to get his strut on.

I mean, this is a guy who ran for president because he couldn't get elected commissioner of Major League Baseball.

2. or half as much money building up instead of blowing up . . .

like the city of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, maybe . . . half of what's been spent in Iraq would bring back the poor black population of the lower Ninth Ward and other areas . . .

why is that more of a nightmare to BushCo than killing tens of thousands of Iraqis? . . .

could it be because they're amoral, unethical, fascist war criminals? . . .

3. Y'mean, all this time we could'a been friends?

That's the last line from Whatever happened to Baby Jane, when Jane realizes her whole miserable life was based on a her sister's lie, and if she'd only known the truth they could've been pals instead of bitter enemies.

I too weep for all the lost good will that might have been, had we had a sane government.
