Bush Visits Trigger Strife!

Oh No!  I just heard from Jimmy's locker partner that Janey said that our date was boring and I had B.O... I want to die!!!

Here is my nomination for ColGene's Theme Song...

BOWLING FOR SOUP LYRICS

High School Never Ends


Four years you think for sure
That's all you've got to endure
All the total dicks
All the stuck up chicks
So superficial, so immature
Then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say HEY WAIT
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over
Aw that's just great

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex,
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys,
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends
High school never ends

Check out the popular kids
You'll never guess what Jessica did
How did Mary Kate lose all that weight
And Katie had a baby so I guess Tom's straight
And the only thing that matters
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn't matter if you're sixteen or thirty-five

Reese Witherspoon,
She's the prom queen
Bill Gates,
Captain of the chess team
COLGene, the clown
Brad Pitt, the quarterback
I've seen it all before
I want my money back

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex,
Who's in the clubs and who's on the drugs,
Who's throwing up before they digest
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
And you're still listen to the same shit you did back then
High school never ends

High school never ends

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex,
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys,
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And I still don't have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And I'm pretty much the same as I was back then
High school never ends

High school never ends

High school never ends

Here we go again

I guess you consider Fidel Castro a hero, since he is just so popular.

All your BS does not alter the truth of this Blog! Just look at any news show or read any newspaper!

You Bush supporters are truly is some othe world!

Give it up col......"nothing" EVER alters the truth of your blog. Even if it's shown to be wrong by others who are most certainly more intelligent than you (excluding myself). Now I can't speak for others but I put Brad in the "more intelligent" than you catagory. You couldn't match wits with him if he gave you a 49 point headstart in a 50 point game.

If us "Bushies" are on another world...then you Bush Bashers must be in another universe!

All your BS does not alter the truth of this Blog!

Your "Bush Truth" is nothing but "Abel Lies".  You have been spewing doom and gloom for years now, yet none of it has actually happened.  I bet you even believe the polar bears are dying.

Just look at any news show or read any newspaper!

You mean the newspapers that told us that the miners were found alive?  Or do you mean the ones that told us about over 100 murders in the Superdome.  Oh, I know, you must mean the ones that told us that FEMA was to blame for Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco failing to follow their city and state disaster protocols.  Or maybe you mean the newspapers that tell us that all our troops in Iraq are doing is dying and torturing innocent Iraqis.  Or maybe you're talking about the news shows that swear that Al Gore's Mock-You-Mentary is based on actual science.  Oh, now I know, you mean the news that said Scooter Libby had anything to do with the "outing" of Valarie Plame... Need I go on?

You Bush supporters are truly is some othe world!

I support Prs. Bush when I think he is right (Tax cuts that helped move the economy forward, the war on terror), but I don't support him when I think he's dead wrong (the border problem, illegal immigration).  You see, I have this organ in my head that anatomists call a Brain.  It helps me to make decisions based on available facts, not someone's last name, the letter that comes after their name, or completely ignorant arguments to back my point (such as "popularity").

ParaTed2k

If you are saying the protests about Bush are not taking place as I SAID IN MY BLOG you are a liar pure and simple.

Oh no, another countries low-lifes protest the President....wow that has never happened before. Nobody cares col, please understand that.

If you're being imbursed because of these trips and subsequent rioting, that's a good thing.

You can't even write a simple sentence and yet expect anyone to take you seriously? Please explain exactly how Bush's trips are in any way providing any sort of imbursement to this country.

            

Better than Leno.

I hope you are looking at the news today. The riots and demonstrations against Bush are taking place in EVERY country Bush has or plans to visit. Bush is a disgrace to this great country. We have the WORST President in our history in office. ANYONE that continues to support him is either too embarrassed to acknowledge they were dumb enough to have supported him or are just as out of touch with the world as BUSH!

Anything is better than Leno.

So again with the attacks. I guess that must mean your position doesn't have a leg to stand on?

Hmmm I wasn't aware that people in Latin America dictated U.S. leaders. Perhaps we should consult with Castro before voting in 2008?

You go run for president of Venezuela, Gene. I'll vote for ya.

The protests in Columbia were major and Bush left there early and spent the night in Guatemala where he was also met by protestors. The protests are against Bush more then America as people who were interviewed have said. Bush should STAY HOME-- Some Spending Cuts for you Conservatives.

Once again....so what.  Thugs and low-lifes protest and col thinks we should care what they think.  Amazing.

Island Dog

Who cares what the people in other countries think about our President. We know he is an arrogant IDIOT and do not need others to tell us that!

You seem to care since you take the time to write about the subject....again.  Don't confuse "we" with "you" and the far left because that is who you are speaking for here. 

Island Dog

I guess that 30% that support what Bush is doing must all be on this Blog Site! Look at how inept this administration is. The Attorney General and the White House using politics to fire the U.S. Attorneys. The Gay issue. Libby and the outing of Mrs. Wilson. Walter Reed and the medical care issue. These issues are just during the past several weeks.

Walter Reed

I'd drop this one if I were you. I myself have proven you wrong on this. I refer you to this thread:

I assume you get your 30% number from the usual biased media polls, so we will just ignore that for now.  As far as your other rhetoric goes, most of it has already been debunked before, but that doesn't stop you from repeating it.

As usual you are WRONG. I was aware that a new facility was to be prepared the problem is that will not be available until 2011. Since we need the services NOW, Bush should have made sure that the current facilities were properly maintained until the new facilities were able to meet the need. I think you will also learn from the new commission that this is not just a problem at Walter Reed but at other active military facilities and it is surely true of the VA. If the most recent data about the mental problem caused by the Iraq War are true, The VA will not be able to come even close to dealing with the over 100,000 that may be in need of prolonged treatment. If we go to non government facilities which is probably what should be done, the COST is going to sky rocket. When we add the long term medical cost, disability retirement, equipment replacement to the costs we have identified, the Iraq war will cause our country financial problems for decades. Add the fact that the entire cost so far has been borrowed and WE MUST PAY INTEREST ON THAT MONEY AND AT SOME POINT REPAY THAT ADDED DEBT! Just the interest on the war cost so far is about $25 Billion every year! If we continue to put all the cost on the tab, the added interest from just the Iraq War will be about $50 Billion EVERY YEAR until we pay off the Trillion Dollar cost that will most likely be the total cost of the Bush War! I hope you are happy about paying all the added taxes that Bush has caused!

Gene, if you are such a scummy little fart that you are willing to ignore the DECADES that the entire Military and VA hospital system has been far below acceptable standards you are a bigger liar than I thought.

Why is it that you are willing to pompously spew crap about Prs. Bush, all the while knowing that the same problems existed long before even Bush Sr. was sworn into office?

This so-called "scandal" is nothing but a bunch of infantile Congressional Democrats mugging for the press. Some of them have been in office for 30+ years and have had all sorts of opportunities to do something, but chose not to.

They do it for the press, why do you do it?

As usual you are WRONG. I was aware that a new facility was to be prepared the problem is that will not be available until 2011. Since we need the services NOW, Bush should have made sure that the current facilities were properly maintained until the new facilities were able to meet the need

And as per usual YOU'RE wrong! The final "closure" date for Walter Reed is 2011. Just because that's when WRH closes does NOT mean that Betheda won't be ready before that. As a matter of FACT Betheda will be on line "before" WRH closes! You can't have a gradual transfer without "new facilities" being ready.

The transfer of services from the existing to the new facilities will be gradual to allow for continuity of care for the thousands of service members, retirees and family members that depend upon Walter Reed AMC. The final closure of the current WRAMC facility has been set for September 2011.

And I just love the way you change course when your arguement is weak. We were talking about WRH...NOT the VA and NOT the deficit.

And about the VA? ParaTed2K is entirely correct.

The VA was in deep ca-ca when I left the service in 1981. I heard no one back then talking about fixing it.

PapaTed2k

I have supported improvements in the VA for a long time. The issue now is that the Bush invasion of Iraq has added a totally different dimension to the need for both active and non active duty medical care. Bush has not provided or asked congress for the resources for medical care that the war he insisted on fighting has caused. The day we went to war we should have also been requesting the resources those causalities would require. As the war dragged on and it became clear we were not going to end this conflict in the near term, WHY did the President not request the added resources for this medical care? Why did Bush not request the increase in the active military that his war created? Why has he not requested the funding to replace all the National Guard and reserve equipment that this war has destroyed?

Yes we would need even more money to properly fund the Medical care and other unfunded military needs like the equipment that has been destroyed. If Bush continues to refuse to increase taxes to pay for these added costs the deficit will continue to get worse. If we had not Invaded Iraq, we would be 1/2 Trillion dollars ahead in the battle of the budget and be no worse off from a security standpoint!
