A Bush is a Bush is a Bush

A Consensus Within My Own Mind on our 43rd President...

As his party abandons him, the faithful who still rejoice in his essence are now sidestepping the issue of how effective, ineffective or downright dangerous GWB is on any given day. Now the response to W's actions run along the lines of "Well, he's a lame duck anyway so let's move on." Excuse me? Isn't this goofy gus going to continue dragging us down the road to ruin for another 20 months? He isn't napping for those 20 months, or if he is, Mr Cheney has the keys to the car. Prez GWB has already pawned off his new Patriot Act on a nation that didn't really like it the first time around.
If I hear "We will stay the course" one more time, I 'll start singing "Stand by Your Man" in a falsetto at the top of my lungs at the supermarket. How can we stay the course when we've never been more off course as a nation? Where are the elected democrats? Oh, that's right. They're crouching under their tables in the house and senate chambers, laying low until mid-term elections when they'll suddenly poke their heads out, declare that it's a brand new world and that they have the blueprint for a place called Shangrila . Enough! Please!
As an American citizen today I ask for one thing and one thing only of our elected officials. Here it is:
Introduce an idea, a proposal or a piece of legislation that will make a difference in the life of an American who is hanging on, waitng for someone to make a difference. Let this be the first action that is not motivated by party politics, the desire to be re-elected, pandering to lobyists, or with the expectation that whoever you do something for will do something for you in return. Do something because it's the right thing to do.
Am I naive? You betcha.
Wearing rose-colored glasses? Uh huh.
Jaded? No.
But we used to be a better nation then we are now. (see my previous post on "humanity.").
Aren't our elected officials going to be embarassed when they're old and a grandchild, sitting on their knee, asks "So, how come that selfish President got away with so much and you didn't even try to stop him?"

My Life is Sooooooooooo Boring.

Sometimes, when falling asleep at night, I'll let my mind take a journey where ever it wants to go and I just follow along. I ponder important questions about my own direction in life. I think of issues our nation faces that divide its people. But until I logged onto Snopes.com earlier today, I had no idea how mundane my existance truly is.

Snopes.com, for those of you who don't know, is a website that proves or debunks hundreds of urban legends. But today on Snopes I discovered a long list of questions submitted by readers, desperate for the answers that Snopes didn't have. Do you????????


They say that if a person has a pet cat and dies, if the person's body is not found fairly soon after death, the cat, having not been fed, will become ravenously hungry and eat the dead person's face off — JUST the face! Is this true? My cat often looks me in the face. I used to think he was just being friendly. Now I know he's just sizing me up, like a chef at a butcher shop, waiting for "the big day". Since hearing this rumor, every time my cat licks his chops it gives me the willies!

Is some one can tell me how to read expire date on corona beer box/bottle. code I have on box is DC08C088. What this mean. reply me ASAP.

Can people see into your house if it's darker in your house than it is outside? When I look around at other houses that don't have lights on, I see darkness, a reflection or only what is immediately in front of the window (curtains, plants, etc.). As a result, I tend to act as though no one can see what I'm doing inside as long as the lights are off and there is no other source of light illuminating me. My wife, however, is often appalled by this behavior. Should she be appalled, or am I correct?

I heard that bananas have a natural chemical that makes you happy. Is it also true that cockroaches can survive an atomic blast?

Is it true that if you take already been chewed gum and put it in an orange peel and put it in the refigrator for 4-6 weeks and then eat it will it be acid?

I have heard beggars can make a nice $100,000 salary, I was wondering if this is true.

If you sneeze and get into an accident, are you still at fault? Are there any laws?
