Bush Reads French Philosophy....boy, that makes me sleep better at night!


I was watching the news and Brian Williams was interviewing George Bush while in New Orleans to "celebrate" the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

They then pan a shot of the entire area, some new houses are being built, but most of it is just rubble and utter distruction. The story is one we have all heard: one year later and most people haven't moved back to New Orleans, the rebuilding efforts are being held up by crooked insurance companies, government bureaucracy, and an apathetic America divided about what to do about the increasing divide between the social classes.

In the midst of all this chaos and distruction, hard hitting Brain Williams decides to ask George Bush, "So, what are you reading these days?" HUH? What the f*&%! Then, in clear view of all these ruined lives, the President goes on about how his mother suggested he read French Philosophy and that he has recently finished reading some volumes of Shakespear. Well, give the man a hand! Good for you, now get to work, you moron! Why don't you take a hammar and start working on one of the million or so homes that needs to be rebuilt.. Oh, yeah. I wouldn't want to interupt your stimulating reading of French Philosophy. I tell you, this world makes no sense. How insensitive. This is the kind of hard hitting journalism this country needs. I hope it was worth the pot shot! Brilliant reporting Williams! Bravo.

Hmmmm...

Well, it's been a bit since I wrote. So, I thought I would. I don't really pay that much attention to the news--it depresses me and I feel it is sensationalistic. It purposely focuses on all of the bad in humanity and seldom, especially now-a-days focuses on what is good in humanity. I guess it is all about ratings. I have been so out of the loop that even my wife knew something that I didn't. I didn't know that there was a recall on all the spinach in the U.S. I was at Wal-Mart (yes, that is another discussion altogether) and I was buying food. I was going to buy one of those bags of spinach. I don't know what brought me to want that, I usually buy it fresh, but anyway...I went up the counter and they said I couldn't buy it. I kept thinking....what am I going to snort this shit or what. It's spinach, let me buy it! Then my wife said, you didn't hear about the spinach recall? And I said "what spinach recall". Then she told me....T...

Update

Wow, has it been a long time since I wrote on this blog. I will write more often. Well, much has happened since the last time I wrote. Since that was years ago. Been very busy with life, etc... Osama Bin Laden was killed this past week. I am not happy that anyone ever is killed. I am a pacifist, so it goes against my beliefs. When Sept. 11th happened I have to say I wasn't surprised. I wondered if we would be attacked like that at some point. As a country we have exploited poorer, less developed countries for soo long, it was just a matter of time. I believe if it wasn't Bin Laden it would have been someone else eventually. I am not saying I believe what he did is right, I don't. What he did was cowardly and inexcusable, but not surprising. I was actually amazed by the surprise of people by the whole incident. The United States has learned alot from that experience. 1) We are not isolated in this world; 2) There are consequences for exploiting others; 3) The wo...
