Has bush's war strained your psyche as he suggests? How does one treat a strained Psyche? A psyche bandage? Ape man says that our psyche has been strained as a country, as if the anguish we all feel about all the horrors our sons and daughters have to face is a slight strain, to our psyche, a word he doesn't even know the meaning of.

Is that what our problem is out here, those of us who hate bush's masturbatory war? Our silly old weak psyches are strained a bit, poor, poor us. Its just a strain America, not permanent damage like a broken bone, or a broken heart, just a strain of your psyche.

I've had it with mutha fuckin insults from a mutha fuckin maniac.

1. Republicans still refer to President Carter's "malaise" speech after

30 years.

Major political gaffe by the current occupant.

2. He looks like he's straining with something, alright...

...maybe his lack of fiber, moral and dietary?

5. I'd like to see a little more strain on Bush and his base

After all, Bush said he's quite happy and content with the way things are going, and doesn't see any need to change a thing. His base, the haves and the have-mores, are making out quite nicely from the invasion of Iraq. Exxon, Chevron, and the rest of his pals in the oil patch are running quarterly profits in excess of anything ever seen before, and his overrich buddies not in the oil game stand to net another house purchase from the money they save on taxes this year thanks to another round of cuts for them.

Strain? What strain? This whole adventure has been fabulously profitable for Bush and his base. Those bodies being off-loaded at Dover don't have names like Hilton or Morgan on them; they have nobodies named Rodriguez or Washington inside. There's been no strain at all for Bush and his base, psychically, financially, familially or by any other measure. Well, except some of them have had to buy new, bigger wallets because of the strain of all the money they've stuffed in their pockets. I must say that I don't much feel their pain.
