Well, it was morbid curiosity that made me want to watch Preznit Endless Deficit get on the teevee. Should have listened to Donna, she had the right idea. Ignore the fucker. Oh well. 23 minutes of my life I'll never get back again...but anywayz...

Was it just me or was that opening scene, walking across that lawn in the mis-buttoned shirt just a little too Leni Riefenstahl? I kept expecting to hear some Wagner softly in the background from some of those speakers that look like rocks. And the smirk. Tonight was absolutely a smirk-a-thon extraordinaire. The Mrs walked in to the room and said "he looks like he's three and has one of those three year-old jokes he's just can't wait to finish." She's so perceptive sometimes.

For part of that speech I was pretty sure that Preznit Leave No Dollar Unspent was channeling FDR ... did we just witness the New Deal for New Orleans? Or was this just an egregious effort to buy votes for the upcoming election cycles that are sure to carry some bad news for the republicans. Then he got to channeling something, not sure what, maybe his inner zen-monkey or something. I'm pretty sure that when he either leaves or gets kicked out of being Preznit, he's got a gig waiting at the 700 Club invoking the Flying Spaghetti Monster for cash money on the installment plan.

Again, he's managed to bring more issues to the table with vague and stupid statements than he's got answers for. That whole thing about the military becoming first responders for an event like this, what's that all about? For logistics, sure. For medical support, sure. For law enforcement and fire-fighting and a score of other tasks. No. Unless of course he's planning to do away with Posse Comitatus, and move law enforcement to the military. No, Fuck no. If the DHS and FEMA worked as they were supposed to, there would be no need to ask the military for assistance much beyond the functions of the National Guard. But no, DHS and FEMA are as fucked up as can be, and the National Guard, why aren't they somewhere, ummmm... dry right now?

And money. Oh yeah. Everyone is convinced that they are not going to raise taxes to pay for any of this, it's all going on the big huge Government Platinum Card. Ah, where is the fiscal backbone to finally call bullshit on that? If they wanna pay, they gotta have the money first, and not get it by de-funding other programs that will leave the most needy in this country vulnerable, while the top 1% pay no taxes at all.

Was anyone else thinking while he was spouting off about how the good jobs rebuilding the Gulf Coast were going to put money back into the region, ah, hey buttfucker you just slashed the wages of every construction worker in the Gulf Coast for the forseeable future. Service sector jobs are next on that chopping block. Nice move, Preznit Compassionate Clownshoes.

And ah, excuse me, but which labor union folks outside of the Gulf Coast was he talking to? I seem to recall that unions in the Gulf Coast region don't exactly flourish, and they aren't going to be too happy with that whole wage thing... just a guess on my part.

I'm sure that Pegaloon has super moist knickers tonight...she's probably right now writing a paean to a Preznit.

Well, fine, but I'm down with a soliliquy to a shithead. Seems fair and balanced, right?

Oh, crap I almost forgot to mention it, but we got at least one Nine-Eleven and one WMD in there. How could he have a complete speech without mentioning either of those?
