Remember the "good ol' days"...way back in 2000 ??

[kentuck]

Low interest rates. Respected around the world. Employers begging for employees. Gossip about blow jobs. Surplus in the Treasury. None of our soldiers getting killed around the world. Getting rid of nuclear weapons. Gossip about blow jobs...The Republicans have been interesting, haven't they? The Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times.

1. If in 2000 someone wrote a novel, the plot of which was what

actually happened in the next five years, the publishers would have said it was too incredible to print. The day the Supremes appointed the smirking asshole I wore all black to work, black shirt, black tie-little did I know how much I had to mourn.

2. Sorry...you missed "Jennifer Flowers," and that Clinton was a Womanizer

who shouldn't have been elected over "Babs and George I" who were the pillars of genteel society. The "Gentry."

Carvil's wife Mary Matalin "wept that Bush I went down over that "womanizer" she wept and vowed revenge. Cheney hired her and she's been thrilled to be redeemed that Poppy and Bush I are the TRUE American Presidents...their HERITAGE...surpasses all American Presidents who have gone before.

Don't you get it? We now have American Aristocracy! And Tony Blair who is Bush II's FAV..(they use the same toothpaste) just loves that George II trumps him in Brit history of Pedigree.

Hey...you Serfs and Peasants out there! Aristocracy LIVES...GET THE FUCK OVER IT...

You and the Chinese have more in common than the Blair/Bush Legacy for the "New World Order." :D...isn't it great?

3. Our country has become little more that a bad joke played upon

the rest of the world... led by fools adorned as seers and scribes.

Oh the humanity....

4. this thread could quickly sink into a Clinton bashing abyss...but...

...at the moment, it reminds me of this article:

It is worth noting. Under Mr. Libido, under insanely maligned Clinton -- under, in other words, a sexually aware and energized leadership -- the nation was largely at peace, attained record budget surpluses, record low unemployment, international respect and admiration. Women's rights were assured and gay rights were protected and Clinton was welcomed like a freakin' rock star abroad, and, from what I understand, he still is.

He was widely loved and admired and respected and hey, here's a guy with an actual libido, and a whip-smart mind, and is unafraid to use either, rightfully and wrongfully. He's actually human, flawed and screwed up and heartily sexual and libidinously active and sorta proud of that fact and wow, what a concept.

And now we have Shrub. And now, it is all reversed, inverted, painfully ingrown, like a bad karmic toenail.

All right, let's spell it out. Let's get to the point already.

Because there is a direct and undeniable correlation between a nation's level of sexual awareness or repressiveness and its overall national level of openness or uptightness, its overall feeling of patriotic constipation. Just ask, say, Afghanistan.

There is a direct relationship between how we are now a divisive and frigid BushCo nation, in a state of perpetual war, saddled with a gutted budget, in an economic tailspin, how national morale is in the gutter and international respect for the U.S. almost nonexistent, and the overall cheerless and desolate climate of sexual education and awareness among our current leadership. Oh yes there is.
