Poet

July 6th, 2007

(From Bullfrog Press):

I’d rather be a poet
than a captain of industry

I’d rather design a building
than speak before parliament

I’d rather play golf with friends
than win a tournament

I’d rather hear a learned lecturethan watch TV

I’d rather read a vital book
than work in the yard

I’d rather pray and meditate
than dream of stuff I don’t have

I’d rather talk to friends openly
than tell a lie.

Who would you rank lower than George W. Bush?

May 27th, 2007

Bill Maher’s New Rules rant after mentioning Jimmy Carter’s passing on the “Worst President Ever” title to George W. Bush:

I mean, who would you rank lower than George W. Bush? Nixon got in trouble for illegally wiretapping Democratic headquarters; Bush is illegally wiretapping the entire country. Nixon opened up relations with the Chinese; Bush let them poison your dog. Herbert Hoover sat on his ass through four years of calamity, but he was an actual engineer. If someone told him about global warming, he would have understood it before the penguins caught on fire. Ulysses Grant was a miserable drunk, but at least he didn’t trade booze for Jesus and embolden the snake handlers — he did the honorable thing and stayed a miserable drunk. Grant let his cronies loot the republic, but he won his civil war.

For some inexplicable reason Republicans have taken to comparing Bush to Harry Truman — a comparison that would make sense only if Harry Truman had A) started World War II and B) lost World War II. Harding sucked, but he once said, “I am not fit for this office and never should have been here.” So at least he knew he sucked.

Immigration deal struck

May 17th, 2007

From The LA Times:

WASHINGTON — A bipartisan group of senators reached agreement today on an immigration reform bill that would allow millions of illegal immigrants to gain citizenship and create a new merit-based system that will determine whether some legal immigrants are admitted.

The agreement, negotiated with the intense involvement of the White House, brings President Bush one step closer to a domestic goal that he has championed for years. It also sets the stage for a divisive debate that some lawmakers hope to complete by Memorial Day.
