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.

I'm coming out of hiding to raise awareness for an issue which is sure to become worse in this tough economy. It's something I've tried to turn a blind eye to (no pun intended) but when I walk out my door and see retirees and indigents being victimized, I gotta speak out. So watch this short video of the proposed legislation aimed at stopping this brewing epidemic. Then call your Congressman. Get involved. Stop ocular penetration goddammit. Stay strong.
