The shocking--and never-ending--stupidity of former Texas governor George W. Bush

CNN reports:  

The vast majority of Americans think things are going badly in the country, according to a new poll.  Seven in 10 people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say things are going badly, with only 30 percent saying things are going well.  

"It's been 16 years since the public gave the country's condition such a bad rating: January 1992, to be precise, in the last year in office of the last president named Bush," CNN pollster Keating Holland said.

Is it too obvious to ask whether you see a trend?  

Also, George W. Bush said today that the government's latest jobs figures showed that the economy is "not as robust" as it should be.  Do ya fuckin think so, Georgie?  

For the love of God, let's all fast-forward to January 2009.  It's well beyond time for this nightmare to end.

Finally!

Well, finally!  I may be able to get a normal life going again!  Starting this weekend, my work schedule will be Sundays through Thursdays, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.  I know that sounds like a nightmare but stop and give it a second thought.  About forty-seven Sundays out of each year are total bullshit.  The other four I can schedule as vacation days.  And when you work Sundays, there's on management and you can pretty much dress however you want.  It's a total throw-away day. 

Then you work Monday through Thursday...but you have off on Friday!  Umm, can you say "perfect?"  Oh, not perfect enough yet?  You wake up Saturday morning (or afternoon) and realize you don't have to work that day either!  And you can totally go out again that night because, seriously, you don't have anywhere to be until 10:00 the next morning!

Yeah, this is my dream schedule.  You Monday through Friday nine-to-fivers can have that shit.  It's for the birds.  I'll keep doing this for as long as I can! 

And BTW, for those of you who have been feeling neglected:  "I'm back" starting next week.  It'll be just like old times (but without years and years of George W. Bush ahead of us).
