Slackass

I've been rather slack, haven't I?

But what should I do, write about everything that happens to me in some "why the fuck does this happen to me?" kind of way? It's that or write about every political thought I have that I can't express when working for a newspaper. I do that and I get labeled a bleedingheart-liberal-pinko-commie-Jew journalist.

Oh, that's right. I do both of those things already, and I am a bleedingheart-liberal-pinko-commie-Jew journalist. Either way, I can still spew some outrageous shit.

Prime example: Pres. Bush 43 told a group of loyal followers in Muskegon, Mich., today that Sen. Kerry's vision of national health care reform can't be accomplished unless he raises your taxes.

This from the man who...

• ...advocated slashing taxes the year he took office and spent borrowed money to run a war that shouldn't have been fought in the first place. Expense: 1008 U.S. military and countless civilian lives and counting.


• ...advocates smaller government involvement in anything other than your morals and personal lives.


• ...has the largest Federal spending increase in history causing a $422 billion Federal deficit just in fiscal year 2004 surpassing 2003's deficit by just more than $50 billion. That's billion, as in 1,000 million. Just in one year!


• ...can't control his own underage daughters' drinking habits in college.

I could go on a rampage like that, but I wouldn't. Would I?
