Dubya's Blog

Though my blog is obviously ridiculously important, it may not be the most important blog in the country. CIA Asks Bush to Discontinue His Blog.

An amusing article, but there is something horribly wrong with the picture in the article

give up?












Macs are for smart people.

Ok, I feel trite for taking a low-blow at Bush, no better than any liberal, tie-die, hippie, going on and on about Bush being horrible and stupid, and since his grammar is improper, it logically follows that his foreign policy is fallacious. The problem with this argument is that it's convincing only "Northeast/university-educated/Starbucks" liberals to hate Bush, and it makes his base, Midwestern-types, love him more. They (his base (don't want a dangling pronoun in there, have to watch my grammar in this entry)) don't care at all about intelligence; it (intelligence) has nothing to do with being an effective leader. All that matters is being trustworthy, genuine, and "a good guy."* (This frame of mind is epitomized by an instance my 10th grade history teacher told the class about, in which he was building a second house in a small town in Maine and was lent $30,000 in lumber because he had a solid handshake.) In fact, the fact that liberals put so much importance on intelligence makes Bushies hate them even more.
So, when you're driving through Kentucky, stopped at a gas station, purchasing some beef-jerky inside the store, and you and Buck get into a discussion about the upcoming election, don't bring up the latest "Bushism;" instead, point out that job creation is at its lowest point since Bush took office, about 7 million jobs behind his initial 6 million job goal. You can also point out that the last President to say that the economy is “taking a turn” was President Hoover, and we all know how well the economy did after that turn.

*Granted, Bush does not possess any of these characteristics, but that's another issue entirely.

Feel free to leave any comments, especially grammatical corrections; I wouldn't want to be mistaken for the leader of the free world.

It is interesting that you say "Northeast/university-educated/Starbucks..." How ignorant Northeastern-types can be. A well educated person would realize that there are many University-educated, Starbucks-going citizens in the Midwest as well. It is true that those from the Northeast tend to be more liberal, I'll give you that. However, I think your point could be made without making the usual northeastern, snobby, ignorant blow to midwesterners.
