I was just reading a board at a site I visit frequently and I feel sick. I just can't stomach some of the crap going on in our country and in our government at this moment. And the fact that there are people out there who still support and speak up for GW and his cronies just makes me feel like screaming! What the hell are you THINKING?????
I can't believe after all that's gone down in the last week or so that people still support this administration. At the least the don't know what they're doing, and at most they're corrupt, hateful, selfish individuals. Neither end of that spectrum is where we need our leaders to fall.
Then just hearing about all the horrible conditions and the suffering those affected by Katrina have endured, I just feel sicker still. I cannot even begin to fathom what they went through and what they felt and what they saw. This has really shaken me; I'm seeing that if a catastrophe hits you have to be prepared and I know we're not at all. Not that a hurricane will be hitting Ohio anytime soon, but you never know what kinds of things could happen.
I guess I just feel unsettled, as many people undoubtedly do. I'm spending time at pregnancy boards trying to keep my mind occupied and immersed in my own little drama, which isn't right either. I'm feeling a need to withdraw into myself at a time when I should be extended outward to help people.

my sister sent me this quote from Bill Maher, and i thought you might enjoy it:
Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no more money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another war because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one's speaking to you. Mission accomplished.
Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you're saying: there's so many other things that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left to do. There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.
But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised that you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes.
On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't love this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side.
So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: 'Take a hint.'
