I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.

Well, George W. Bush left Washington today, no longer our President. There's a lot of controversy about his time as our Commander-In-Chief and how history will judge him. With a 22% approval rating upon leaving office - the lowest approval rating since ratings have been compiled - it kind of looks like history's first draft is painting him as kind of a douche bag. Personally, not a lot of the stuff that made the news bothered me all that much. Abu Ghraib, water boarding, Iraq, illegal wire taps, the economic downturn, Katrina... none of it really got me too upset. But I'm still happy to see him go. And it's mainly for one reason: the sonofabitch couldn't talk. I think the rest of the world looks at our leader as a representation of us as Americans. So when the guy we elect goes up there on the world stage and is a stammering idiot it kind of bothers me. I almost don't care about the guy's policies as long as he makes America look good and sounds like he knows what the fuck he's talking about. Anyway, godspeed Georgie. Enjoy your backyard barbeque's, golf outings, fancy dinners, and your new home (ironically free of any brush needing to be cleared). Here's hoping I never have to listen to you torture the English language again. Stay strong.

YOU WANNA BE PRESIDENT?

You know that old expression, "If you want something done right, do it yourself?"  Well, I'm thinking that goes for politics just as much as it goes for wagging Elvis.  So here's a nifty little program to get your campaign started.  I've already thrown my hat into the ring and am running on a platform of unfettered public masturbation and a shorter work week - in that order.  May the best man win bitches.  Game on.

THE PRESIDENT WITH NO EXPERIENCE.

The Democratic National Convention is going on this week.  Even though I've been trying to avoid it, it's hard not to see highlights on the news.  I try to avoid both conventions for the same reason I avoid commercials for regular, everyday products: I hate people trying to sell me shit.  I don't want to own a donkey or an elephant.  Still, I might try and catch some of Ron Paul's "convention" being held on the Tuesday, September 2nd.  Wait... what am I saying...? Paul advocates abolishing the federal income tax and the IRS - I'd follow that glorious bastard into the center of the Sun!

There's been a lot of talk this week about "experience."  Who has it.  Who doesn't.  How much.  What kind. It seems funny to me that this is even an issue since the Founders of our country never intended for politics to be a career.  Politics was supposed to be a temp job for a chosen few who, after serving, were expected to return to farming, or blacksmithing, or wig-powdering, or tea-bagging... or whateverthehell kind of mundane job they were trained to do.  Their thinking was that if you're a politician for too long you lose touch with the people you're trying to represent.  Of course, this was the idea back when politics had a hint of common sense.  So, when some talking head on tv starts questioning a politician's "experience" I tend to think of this ex-President - who didn't have an experience-pot to piss in when he showed up for work at The White House.  He still managed to do a pretty good job though.

PS- For those of you who think I'm comparing Obama to Lincoln it's also important to note that - like Bush - Lincoln was the architect and driving force behind a war that was incredibly unpopular at the time (but worked out pretty good for everyone, looking back).  And Lincoln's approval ratings when he was in office make Georgie W. seem like the most popular dude in the history of your mother.
