Bush-connected companies appear to be getting first-crack<\/a> at reconstruction contracts in the Gulf Area in the Hurricane Katrina recovery effort. Gee, what a surprise!<\/p>\n

Oh, and two thirds of the US population thinks the country is headed in the wrong direction, and Bush’s approval rating is at 39%<\/a>, an all-time low.<\/p>\n

So now I must ask…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

WHERE THE FUCK<\/b> WERE ALL OF YOU BACK IN NOVEMBER OF \u201904?!?!?!<\/span><\/p>\n

SCREW YOU ALL.<\/strong> You voted him back in after four years of knowing and seeing all the low-ball, slimy bullshit this administration pulled, and now you’re bitching about it<\/em>? Well, you’ve got three more years of him, America. And guess what? YOU DESERVE IT<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

So, uh-uh! None of this “the country is headed in the wrong direction” bollocks. This is the direction YOU chose, America!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gas prices too high? Oh, boo-hoo! Gas prices were high during the election too. What the FUCK did you people do about it then?! YOU IGNORED IT<\/strong>, that’s what you did. So, ignore $3.19 a gallon at the pumps, bitches, while you fill up your goddamned Hummers, because this is what you wanted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dear Louisiana: as you sit in ruin, festering in toxic filth, and complain about how Bush’s cronies at FEMA have wronged you, remember one thing: you were<\/strong> a red state<\/a>. What good has it done you? Are<\/strong> you better off now than you were four years ago? Hmm?<\/p>\n

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of listening to people moan and complain about the state of the country, when not ten months ago, they had a chance to alter our course, and instead did nothing. America, you have no one to blame but yourselves.<\/p>\n

So I had BETTER see 100-fucking-percent approval ratings. We better be so goddamned happy with the way the economy is, that we’re pissing our pants because we can barely contain our orgasmic fucking joy. I wanna see people DANCING IN THE GODDAMNED STREETS<\/strong> when gas hits $4.00 a gallon. <\/p>\n

Dance, America, DANCE<\/strong>!<\/span><\/p>\n

And if not, then I sure as hell hope that people don’t get fucking amnesia again the next time they find themselves at the polling station. Because I’ve had it<\/strong> with you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
