For The Record
Over at Charles Austin's place, I read about the efforts to blame Bush for last week's power outages. This is, of course, completely correct, but not the whole story.
I would, like to be on record as being the first to say that it was ultimately the fault of the homosexualists, the feminists, and the concomitant fall away from Godliness in America that caused those blackouts.
It's as obvious as the nose on your face now that I point it out, isn't it?
dont forget the NRA.
Sarcasm: a golden American gift.
Did you hear that the Iraquis actually had advice for us?
No no no. It's all a Fox network publicity stunt for their new game show, Who Wants to Have Air Conditioning?
They argue that Hillary's claim that Bush is responsible for the blackout is stupid, yet at the same argue that her comments are responsible for rioting.
Cute.
Nah..... it is the bull dyke lesbians acting under the orders of Hill&Bill who did it!!!
Well, as usual it was www.scrappleface.com that had the best take on it: Hillary Clinton said that the power system was fine...until a year ago. Then it suddenly got all rusty...
Dean -- I wonder if my attempt at satire was perhaps misunderstood, maybe willfully by some. I am certainly not suprised by the behavior of politicians of any stripe, nor should anyone paying attention to politics. And despite cub4bear's comments here and at my site, I am certainly not going to argue that Hillary's comments caused any rioting (first of all, what rioting?). Anyway, even if someone is making the mistake of arguing that Hillary's comments are causing rioting, that in no way excuses her childish "Bush bad" pronouncements before we even knew what had happened.
As to your second question, that is what my apparently feeble attempt at satire was supposed to provoke. Some people see it for the silliness it is, others don't, and some just don't care because BUSH IS DESTROYING THE ECONOMY (must be done in all caps to get the desired DU effect), or some other such zeeble bop fickle fackle bush Bush BUSH nonsense. If I can in any way help push anybody farther towards not accepting this kind of nonsense (especially the dutiful Big Media who really ought to know better) then I can feel as though I've done my part today to make the world a better place. Not a perfect place, perhaps not even a good place, but a better place.
charles, I wasn't referring to your article. I was referring to the newsmax article to which you linked.
My apologies to cub4bear. I misunderstood his/her intent. My bad.
What's really pathetic is that the Bush administration predicted the possibility of something like this happening two years ago, but of course all of the squishy lefties immediately screamed about Bush's slavery to Big Oil, ad nauseaum. Arrgh.
Go check out NRO for details.
BTW, the administration was right: we really need to upgrade our power infratructure, and that DOESN'T mean "conserve more..."
Oddly, the bill that's been sitting around while Kerry misses 60% of energy related votes calls for improving the power grid. Too bad it's been two years and still no action. At least the Bush Administration is trying, that's more than what happened for the 8 previous years.
