Breaking News: Two People May Move to Baltimore

Is there a chance that Jenna Bush and her soon-to-be husband are moving to Baltimore? Via Wonkette, Washington Post's Reliable Source reports:

In barely more than six weeks, Henry Hager will have a new wife -- Jenna Bush, as you may have heard -- and a brand-new graduate degree in business. So presumably a new job is on the horizon?

According to a student at the University of Virginia's Darden School, where Hager is in the final weeks of MBA study, Hager's friends are buzzing that President Bush's future son-in-law will be going to work for Baltimore-based Constellation Energy.[..]

Also: The betrothed couple has reportedly house-hunted in the Baltimore area, according to People. They'll get hitched at the Bush family ranch in Crawford, Tex., on May 10.

Fantastic! Just the other night -- when walking back home from a lovely meal out with my lady friend I was thinking, "Why don't more wealthy, upper-class white couples move into this city?"

Of course, during that same walk a black man with a large penis yelled at us:

"I'll fuck your whore. I have a big dick. I'll face-fuck your whore and snuff you mother-fucker."

Ah...Well, that answers that.

And After the Spanking, the Oral Sex

Stephen King gives last interview before being shipped off to Guantanamo Bay.

So I said something to the Nightline guy about waterboarding, and if the Bush administration didn't think it was torture, they ought to do some personal investigation. Someone in the Bush family should actually be waterboarded so they could report on it to George. I said, I didn't think he would do it, but I suggested Jenna be waterboarded and then she could talk about whether or not she thought it was torture.

Hiroshima

Sunday night I moved from Nagoya to Hiroshima, so I haven't had much time to post lately. But from what I've been able to see from my few days of exploring, it's a fascinating city. Pictures coming soon.

In the meantime, enjoy some links (...so there's actually a purpose to this post):

* In case you need more proof that Bush has no idea what he's talking about, here he criticizes the Democratic Congress for not passing enough spending bills that do not have tax hikes attached. Because for government, money just grows on trees, don'cha know.

* The judge who sued his dry cleaners for $54 million for losing his trousers will lose his job. And he didn't win a penny to show for it.

* And to answer the title of this article ("Can new Britney Spears album overcome drama?"):
I doubt it.

I "Looked Into His Eyes" as He Dissolved Democracy

Bush made the famously naive comment that he had looked into Putin's eyes and from that look trusted him.

Yesterday Putin basically declared himself a Czar. For more on Bush's reliance on his "gut" versus ration, go here for a review of Dead Certain.

Bush the Evangelical

There are many reasons to hate W, but my favorite is his "faith," which used to be called religion. "His faith is very strong," said Michael Novak, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in a very non-market pandering to religion. Here goes the American Enterprise Institute's defense of W, quoted by Novak,

"Faith is not enough by itself because there are a lot of people who have faith but weak hearts. But his faith is very strong. He seeks guidance, like every other president does, in prayer. And that means trying to be sure he's doing the right thing. And if you've got that set, all the criticism, it doesn't faze you very much. You're answering to God."

I want a president who answers to citizens, not God. I want someone who responds to 30% approval ratings and doesn't look relaxed because he is answering to God. For fuck's sake, if we have a president who is answering to God then what is the difference between us and a jihadi state?

Can We Have the Election Right Now Before Bush Starts WWIII?

Bush has made an unimaginable mess in the Middle East that might take generations to clean up. But he can't stop himself from causing more problems for the US by destabilizing the world even further, as that seems to be his greatest skill.

This time Bush is aiming his unique anti-diplomatic skills toward Russia, as if the US doesn't have enough world-wide problems to manage. Bush announced that the US is deploying an anti-missile shield in former Soviet bloc country the Czech Republic. The Czech population opposes it overwhelmingly and Putin is going ballistic, saying that he will start pointing Russian nuclear missiles at the US.

Perhaps with a CBS News poll indicating that W is the worst president ever, and that Reagan was the best, W wants to recreate the Cold War so he can be Reagan and again close a war that was over 20 years ago. Maybe that is why he added to the missile crisis by saying, just before the coming G-8 Summit, that Russian reforms were "derailed." I don't disagree with that, but it sure makes Bush's famously naive statement about Putin in 2001 as that Bush said

"I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straight forward and trustworthy and we had a very good dialogue. "I was able to get a sense of his soul.

Putin is a former KGB officer who pocketed Bob Kraft's Super Bowl ring. I don't know what is worse, being a fool enough to trust Putin based on eye contact or trying to antagonize his nation now. Any president with a brain would have avoided both.

So let's have an election in 2007. The candidates are primed and ready to go. And the US cannot afford one more year of W's scary stupidity, ego and recklessness.

Who Needs Textbooks and Classes When You Can Blow Guys in the Bathroom?

It's been awhile since I've linked to a college paper op-ed. I apologize for the oversight. This will hopefully make up for that. Read as she attempts to justify, rationalize and proudly defend her actions all the while writing under a pseudonym for her college paper.

He's not a stranger, but he's not a friend either. He's a super sexy, smooth-talking acquaintance who coincidentally caught me on a night that I was feeling rather sexy myself.
One drink led to another, one kiss led to a make out session, and a blow job in the bathroom of McGuire's led him from the bar to my bed.
Judge me if you will, but after kissing him goodbye the following morning, I wore a smile on my face for the entire day because I'd obtained for myself something I'd needed for sometime.
I felt like a woman empowered.

Are you serious? Where the fuck have I been? Seems like this empowering angle is the way to go. Perhaps yelling "Whore Whore, You Dirty Whore!!!", at women/pre-teens isn't the best way to close the deal. Humm. I really miss college.

Jenna Thrives While Avoiding Service

In an LA Times opinion piece Kitty Kelley wonders why the Bush twins aren't signing up to join the army.

When I was a little girl in a convent school, the nuns impressed on me the power of setting a good example. These beloved teachers are no longer around to instruct the president and his family, so I recommend that the Bushes learn from Mark Twain, who said: "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest."

My suggestion comes after the White House announcement earlier this month that Jenna Bush, one of the president's twin daughters, is writing a book on her all-expenses-paid trip to Panama, where she worked for a few weeks as an intern for UNICEF. Jenna Bush is quoted as saying she will donate her earnings from her book to UNICEF, a commendable gesture, considering her father's net worth of $20 million. But while the 25-year-old makes the rounds of TV talk shows this fall in a White House limousine, dozens of her contemporaries will be arriving home from Iraq in wooden boxes. In Britain, Prince Harry is insisting on going off to Iraq — even as his country is reducing its troop commitment.

It is a good question. If Bush is so convinced that the Iraq War is the cause of our day then why don't his children enlist?
