."Time is running out," ....
Bush said in a Rose Garden news conference.
This offer expires at midnight! Buy now! And we will throw in: "the enemy wants to attack us again." ( Bush,AP, today)
Imagine! Two for the price of one! Guaranteed to leave your neighbors pissing themselves in fear!
Only people who buy major appliances from door to door salesmen can go for the President's insane hard sell to make the United States of America abandon the precepts of the Geneva Convention.
Over the years the U.S. has accused dozens of other countries of violations of the Geneva Convention. Now, when it's our turn to be so accused, we say, fuck that, change the rules.
Bush and the boys are a class act. If the U.S. Constitution doesn't fit Attorney General Gonzales' idea of what's what, change it! Geneva Convention? Bullshit...outdated, doesn't fit this era's insanity, change it too. If the Supreme Court, stuffed to the max with right wingers, are morally forced to vote against unlimited spying programs, fuck them, Bush will take them out of the loop and claim national security requires no Judicial Branch OK's.
Nov. 2008 seems light years away. Hope there's enough left to vote for.
QUOTE OF THE DAY:
It's no disgrace not to be able to run a country nowadays, but it is a disgrace to keep on trying when you know you can't. ~ Will Rogers
MEXICO (as I see it):
WHO'S AT FAULT?
Mexicans are so used to products that don't work, shoddy
workmanship and lack of quality control that they often blame
themselves if something breaks or fails to perform.
It's as if they would rather accept the responsibility for the malfunction than to complain against the manufacturer's obvious lack of interest in the consumer. They have been conditioned that their role is to consume, nothing more. Through the years they have had little choice but to accept whatever was on the store shelves.
There has never been any real competition between private enterprises in Mexico. But, even though they understand the problem, the Mexicans will not complain, will not unify, will not
mobilize, protest or boycott.
It appears they have swallowed the same line of crap that was tried on the Americans during the seventies: My country, right or wrong.
The result of this misguided loyalty is that each Mexican has a built in alibi device when faced with grossly inadequate consumer goods.
It is never the fault of their government, the manufacturer or the inferior materials. It is not because of a nationally accepted lethargy which always refuses to speak up and point a finger at the real culprit. None of these reasons will be used to fix blame.
Mexican customers shoulder the responsibility themselves by assuming that they are too dumb or too inept to make the bloody
thing work.
