Reality Remixed: Like Disco Lemonade
What better place than here?
What better time than now?

So, upon hearing that we'd finally caught Saddam Hussein after months and months of looking for him, I have to admit that my first response was not "Good!" My first response was, "Dammit, this just makes President Moron harder to beat in the election." I had been hoping that nothing major would occur, that the status quo would continue for a while and he would coast into the election and lose. I mean, everyone keeps talking about this economic recovery, but I don't see anyone getting hired. Consumer confidence suddenly dropped in the past week, which is not something that's supposed to happen at the height of the Christmas shopping season. And I figured that economic recovery would be the one thing that would help him revive his sagging approval numbers. Now his numbers will go up again, despite the fact that, well, he didn't really do anything. Kind of like how I feel about September 11th. He didn't really do anything -- well, except fly around the country all day, dodging terrorists who might have been trying to crash into Air Force One -- and yet his approval ratings went through the roof to around 90%. Our soldiers and intelligence services did the research and connected the dots and found Saddam, but you know who's going to take all the credit. However, it's good to see that even DC newspapers and Stars and Stripes, the newspaper of the Armed Forces, are beginning to poke holes in Moron's presidency. This whole Thanksgiving trip to Baghdad was nothing more than a publicity stunt, and according to that article, it was not only spun poorly in the way that soldiers who dined with the president were prescreened while others were turned away from Thanksgiving dinner, but Air Force One also breached British security and broke international law by filing fake flight plans, misidentifying the aircraft used and lying about which plane it was -- to the point where England is re-evaluating its air traffic control because that was a major security hole. If that had happened here, President Moron would've gotten up on his soapbox and ranted about how America will not tolerate these kinds of shenanigans from other countries, our security is top-notch, blah blah blah. But it seems it's all right to stick it to others. Do as I say, not as I do, eh, Georgie?
