CAN WE PLEASE MOVE ON?

It seems that nothing ever gets resolved in The United States.

Every damn year around January 22, the anniversary of the 1973 ruling,
we have to put up with this protest of, and demand for the abolishment, of Roe V Wade.

This year was no different and the Pro-Lifers marched in Washington D.C. doing their fear and guilt thing, as do all self-appointed moralists.

Catholic Church officials took part of a day off from molesting children and chimed in with an ashes burial ritual in Utah, using the ashes of fetuses.

President Bush, using modern technology, phoned in his approval to the protesters, and then quickly hung up lest he miss a call from heaven. He's been praying for help with the problem of how to turn the Social Security fund over to Wall Street to help finance the next round of golden parachutes for felon CEOs.

These people claim that there's a new attitude against abortion in the country and that Bush's reelection is proof of that.

Really? I thought it was his handling of the war in Iraq that got him rehired?

Look, there are a lot of things I don't like, such as noisy motorcycles, but I don't think we should ban motorcycles. People should be allowed to buy, but not use them.

Realistically, motorcycles are just fine, except when asshole owners modify them to make noise. The problem is the person, and those persons should have the noise rules enforced against them.

As for abortion, if it bothers you, don't get one, but don't try to impose your likes and dislikes, or supposed morals on others.

To me, it's no different than having to endure earsplitting motorcycle noise created by someone who thinks its way cool to let everyone know there's another asshole around.

INTELLIGENT LIFE SPOTTED IN GEORGIA!

U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper has ruled that Cobb County public schools must remove the "warning stickers" its school officials pasted inside science books.

The stickers carried the message that "evolution is a theory and not a fact." The Judge has determined that these stickers are unconstitutional.

The story can be found: here.

Finally, we have the beginning of a separation of church and state in the former penal colony of Georgia.

Now one has to wonder if warning stickers will be placed in bibles? Perhaps, "Warning, creationism is a theory, not a fact," or, "Warning, the true origin of this book is undetermined," would be appropriate.

BUSH'S BABY BROTHER BRINGS BOTTLES

of water to Tsunami victims.

What the hell is that all about?

Jeb Bush is a Governor, not a Federal politician.

Here he is in wherever, handing out bottled water leftover from the Florida hurricane relief effort to people in far away places.

Is this the greatest photo-op of all time?

The hook is that because of his expertise with water-borne disasters, he is showing empathy for his fellow H2O challenged sufferers.

Give me a break! What the hell did, or frankly, could he have done in Florida, other than to hand out water, and say, "shit, this sucks, and, "I feel your pain, the Governor's mansion nearly got hit too!"

For what it cost to ship Jeb and Colin Powell over to wherever, the Federal Government could have sent some real help in the form of disaster experts.

But Campaign 2008 is obviously underway for the Republicans and already Jeb Bush will be able to say, technically, that he has international experience, even if only as a modern day Gunga Din, sans the danger of gunfire.
