"While Bush has found time to visit his ranch in Crawford 33 times in the last three and a half years, he has given only 12 solo press conferences. Tuesday night, it was easy to see why. The president -- who won't testify before the 9/11 commission unless he can do it in private and only if his vice president can come with him -- presided over a press conference that left him looking like a high school kid surprised by a pop quiz on a book he didn't read'."

Further evidence that having a lot of money -- which is all it takes to be prez anymore -- is NO proof of mental acuity. In "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" the author details how the prez served his country during the Vietnam War in the Texas Air Guard. Turns out that is where All the rich genteel Texans send their youngins to preclude them being shot at with real guns and real bullets in a real war which might make REAL holes in their pampered asses.

On a 100 point test to determine eligibility for fighter pilot school and starting order, our infamous commander in chief scored a 25 -- one point above the "too dumb to fly" score of 24. Yet, magically, he leaped ahead of scores of men with much higher scores to begin his flight training almost immediately.

THAT, my friends, is the kind of bullshit that pisses me off to the residual core. Perhaps I'd feel differently about such things if I had a cool G or so to play with, but I would sure hope not. I'd like to see these rich fucks fight their own war for a change -- instead of using our children as cannon fodder to advance their selfish neo-conservative agenda.

I think Aerosmith got it right:
Eat the Rich: there's only one thing they're good for
Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich: I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the Rich: take one bite now, spit out the rest

sail4free ~ four years into sending my daughter 25% of my take-home pay so she can attend a cheap college and develop her intellect sufficient to compete with the rest of us working-class mortals who are required to honestly EARN our blessings.

"But there's one good thing that happens
When you toss your pearls to swine
Their attitudes may taste like shit
But go real good with wine"
