Amerikkka!

Now this is satire:

Most of all, America doesn't feel like America any more. The climate of militarism and fear, similar to any totalitarian state, permeates everything.

Oh, LOLOLOL, ha ha! America as a totalitarian state! So funny!

Oh. Wait. He was serious??

"George Bush is the first unelected President of the United States, installed by a right-wing Supreme Court in a kind of judicial coup d'etat."

Got that far (1st sentence, paragraph 3) and quit.

I have better things to do with my time, like clipping toenails or cleaning out the cat's ears.

I know EXACTLY how he feels. When I roll out of bed in the home which I recently purchased to go to the job I hold and have had for a couple years that pays quite well, thank you and arrive in my almost new SUV, I frequently find that I HAVE TO PARK ALMOST 50 YARDS AWAY FROM THE ENTRANCE! The FASCIST state we live in has become intolerable. And the totalitarian militarism has begun permeating my shower pan, I think I'm gonna have to replace that or it'll mildew.

Hey, anybody know how to get militarism and fear out of velour? There was this 70's party, and my jacket just got permeated...never mind, I'll just try soda water on it.

All that noise in the neighborhood last night must have been the death squads on the move.

Just like Kim, I got that far (1st sentence, paragraph 3) and quit.

Do people have so little interest in reality as to not know what the Supreme Court ruling was? It was spelled out clearly enough in the mainstream media at the time. "Any further recounts in Florida must be done in accordance with existing Florida state law." Coup d'etats don't get any more bloodless than that.

At the same time, you have to feel some pity for these folks. I mean, think about it, it must be a living hell to see "Ashcroft's Army" everywhere you look. I don't know how these people find the will to live (or find their drug score).

How would you like to live in a "fascist state"? Ah, the torments of dementia.

I take great comfort in knowing that all the foaming-at-the-mouth, Bush-hating peckerwoods who still think Bubba was the Second Coming finally understand how we felt for those eight lo-o-o-ong years.
