DW&F: Being Official and Bush Says the Dumbest Things

Hello everyone!

In the process of writing holiday cards, resumes, cover letters, and grocery lists, I've realized that I don't feel like doing much more writing today. So let's cut the crap and get down to brass tacks!

Daily Win and FAIL!

Win: Being official.

I finally got the official word from University of Nike Oregon that I have indeed met all my requirements and will get my degree. I knew this would happen, but it's still nice to finally have it be all official. Now the last thing for me to look forward to nervously obsess about is the wait for my diploma to arrive in the mail. Unfortunately, they supposedly aren't going to mail it until sometime in March. But when I get it, the first thing I'll do is frame it, so I can hang it in the bathroom, and stare at it while I sit on the toilet. Win!



FAIL: Bush: "I didn't compromise my soul to be a popular guy."

That's right. Sometimes doing what's right is not very popular. In fact, sometimes it's only popular with about 25% of the public. But apparently, if you're the president, there's no reason to do what the people want you to do. It's not like you're accountable to them or anything. Let's be real--the people are obviously all a bunch of idiots who can't see what a great president Bush is. That's basically what he's saying.

Here's a quote from the article that sums his presidency perfectly:

"What do you expect? We've got a major economic problem and I'm the president during the major economic problem. I mean, do people approve of the economy? No. I don't approve of the economy. ... I've been a wartime president. I've dealt with two economic recessions now. I've had, hell, a lot of serious challenges. What matters to me is I didn't compromise my soul to be a popular guy."

You're right, Bush. The craptastic economy and the two disastrous wars aren't important. What's important is that you stuck by your principles. Your terrible, idiotic, destructive principles that directlyled to the two wars and the tanking economy.

What an obnoxious, arrogant assclown. In order to get by, I have to keep reminding myself that we only have to deal with this crap for 33 more days. FAIL!
