I live on Bush St; someone came along overnight and put magnets over ALL of the street signs.

How wonderful.

oh look, the bus to economic collapse. who wants a ticket?

i watched bush’s address to the nation this morning, then flipped the channel to fox news (not on purpose), where a commentator was blaming the current economic crisis on obama’s background as a community organizer, and the failure of the bailout bill on ACORN. (brief tangent: the inclusion of ACORN in the bill may be contentious, yes … but the bill was defeated because many representatives from both sides of the aisle voted against it. let’s just be clear on that point.) the fear mongering was coming from two angles: as this commentator was describing how ACORN “breaks into offices” in order to pressure banks into making high-risk loans to folks with no credit, and “stalks bank employees” in order to “scare their wives and children”, we are watching large black men doing nothing more than holding clipboards. OMG people holding clipboards! run and hide!

oh and THEN, i found out a certain local rag has endorsed McCain-Palin. can anybody ACTUALLY endorse mccain-palin with a straight face?

meanwhile it is eight years later and i am still in total disbelief that bush actually is the president. omg. seriously.
