Weekend. Pulled a fatty allnighter thursday night and got 45 minutes of sleep. Yes. 45 minutes. And I have witnesses, or a witness. So friday night I prolly should have slept. But I didnt, well I did, but not normal sleep. It was a funnn night though. Willow came over, then Garrett. Started at 809. Later went home and got a hula party shirt and went to a hawaiian (sp?) party. Melanie and Sinny found there way to me and where I was…i think Sinny had a concussion, but i no remember y. Later I fled from that party and found my way to Jakes who had a marvelous surprise. Marvelous surprise. But I ruined it and passed “the fuck out” hella early. Woke up too early saturday in a cold place. Brr. Saturday I started really late, say 11. And went to bed at 7:30. My sleep schedule is so off. Napped till 3 today and then again from after diiner till 8. I want a full night sleep more than anything in the world, well except for my ipod to not be frozen. Stop it bitch. Seriously, work. Yeah sat night was fun fun fun till your daddy takes your t-bird away. It needs to be spring quarter so I can listen to more beach boys and go to beaches on chuckyournuts.

Credible research exists that strongly suggests that adopted children raised in Republican households, though significantly wealthier than their Democrat-raised counterparts, are more at risk for developing emotional problems, social stigmas, inflated egos (and) an alarming lack of tolerance for others they deem different than themselves. Muhaha. Fake, but funny.

Let’s Just See, K?

Who’s Counting Bush’s Mistakes?

Filed under: Regular Posts — Ben @ 5:31 pm

Have Another Pretzel
Have another pretzel

Emergency Management: They completely failed to manage the first large-scale emergency since 9/11. Despite all their big talk and hundreds of billions of dollars spent on homeland security over the past four years, this administration proved itself stunningly incompetent when faced with an actual emergency. (Katrina Relief Funds Squandered)

Fiscal Management: America is broke. No wait, we’re worse than broke. In less than five years these borrow and spend-thrifts have nearly doubled our national debt, to a stunning $8.2 trillion. These are not your father’s Republicans who treated public dollars as though they were an endangered species. These Republicans waste money in ways and in quantities that make those old tax and spend liberals of yore look like tight-fisted Scots.

This administration is so incompetent that you can just throw a dart at the front page of your morning paper and whatever story of importance it hits will prove my point.

Katrina relief: Eleven thousand spanking new mobile homes sinking into the Arkansas mud. Seems no one in the administration knew there were federal and state laws prohibiting trailers in flood zones. Oops. That little mistake cost you $850 million — and counting.

Medicare Drug Program: This $50 billion white elephant debuted by trampling many of those it was supposed to save. The mess forced states to step in and try to save its own citizens from being killed by the administration’s poorly planned and executed attempt to privatize huge hunks of the federal health safety net.

Afghanistan: Good managers know that in order to pocket the gains of a project, you have to finish it. This administration started out fine in Afghanistan. They had the Taliban and al Queda on the run and Osama bin Laden trapped in a box canyon. Then they were distracted by a nearby shiney object — Iraq. We are now $75 billion out of pocket in Afghanistan and its sitting president still rules only within the confines of the nation’s capital. Tribal warlords, the growing remnants of the Taliban and al Qaeda call the shots in the rest of the county.

Iraq: This ill-begotten war was supposed to only cost us $65 billion. It has now cost us over $300 billion and continues to suck $6 billion a month out of our children’s futures. Meanwhile the three warring tribes Bush “liberated” are using our money and soldiers’ lives to partition the country. The Shiites and Kurds are carving out the prime cuts while treating the once-dominant Sunnis the same way the Israelis treat the Palestinians, forcing them onto Iraq’s version of Death Valley. Meanwhile Iran is increasingly calling the shots in the Shiite region as mullahs loyal to Iran take charge. (More)

Iran: The administration not only jinxed its Afghanistan operations by attacking Iraq, but also provided Iran both the rationale for and time to move toward nuclear weapons. The Bush administration’s neocons’ threats to attack Syria next only provided more support for religious conservatives within Iran who argued U.S. intentions in the Middle East were clear, and that only the deterrent that comes with nuclear weapons could protect them.

North Korea: Ditto. Also add to all the above the example North Korea set for Iran. Clearly once a country possesses nukes, the U.S. drops the veiled threats and wants to talk.

Social Programs: It’s easier to get affordable — even free — American-style medical care, paid for with American dollars, if you are injured in Iraq, Afghanistan or are victims of a Pakistani earthquake, than if you live and pay taxes in the good old U.S.A. Nearly 50 million Americans can’t afford medical insurance. Nevertheless the administration has proposed a budget that will cut $40 billion from domestic social programs, including health care for the working poor. The administration is quick to say that those services will be replaced by its “faith-based” programs. Not so fast…

“Despite the Bush administration’s rhetorical support for religious charities, the amount of direct federal grants to faith-based organizations declined from 2002 to 2004, according to a major new study released yesterday….The study released yesterday “is confirmation of the suspicion I’ve had all along, that what the faith-based initiative is really all about is de-funding social programs and dumping responsibility for the poor on the charitable sector,” said Kay Guinane, director of the nonprofit advocacy program at OMB Watch..” (More)

The Military: Overused and over-deployed.

Former Defense Secretary William Perry and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright warned in a 15-page report that the Army and Marine Corps cannot sustain the current operational tempo without “doing real damage to their forces.” … Speaking at a news conference to release the study, Albright said she is “very troubled” the military will not be able to meet demands abroad. Perry warned that the strain, “if not relieved, can have highly corrosive and long-term effects on the military. (More)

With military budgets gutted by the spiraling costs of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the administration has requested funding for fewer National Guard troops in fiscal 2007 — 17,000 fewer. Which boggles the sane mind since, if it weren’t for reserve/National Guard, the administration would not have had enough troops to rotate forces in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Nearly 40 percent of the troops sent to those two countries were from the reserve and National Guard.

The Environment: Here’s a little pop quiz: What happens if all the coral in the world’s oceans dies? Answer: Coral is the first rung on the food-chain ladder; so when it goes, everything else in the ocean dies. And if the oceans die, we die.

The coral in the world’s oceans are dying (called “bleaching”) at an alarming and accelerating rate. Global warming is the culprit. Nevertheless, this administration continues as the world’s leading global warming denier. Why? Because they seem to feel it’s more cost effective to be dead than to force reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. How stupid is that? And time is running out.

Trade: We are approaching a $1 trillion annual trade deficit, most of it with Asia, $220 billion with just China — just last year.

Energy: Record high energy prices. Record energy company profits. Dick Cheney’s energy task force meetings remain secret. Need I say more?

Consumers: Americans finally did it last year — they achieved a negative savings rate. (Folks in China save 10 percent, for contrast.) If the government can spend more than it makes and just say “charge it” when it runs out, so can we. The average American now owes $9,000 to credit card companies. Imagine that.

Human Rights: America now runs secret prisons and a secret judicial system that would give Kafka fits. And the U.S. has joined the list of nations that tortures prisioners of war. (Shut up George! We have pictures!)

In its 1947 strategy plan, the advertising agency strongly emphasized a psychological approach. “We are dealing with a problem in mass psychology. We seek to … strengthen the tradition of the diamond engagement ring — to make it a psychological necessity capable of competing successfully at the retail level with utility goods and services….” It defined as its target audience “some 70 million people 15 years and over whose opinion we hope to influence in support of our objectives.” N. W. Ayer outlined a subtle program that included arranging for lecturers to visit high schools across the country. “All of these lectures revolve around the diamond engagement ring, and are reaching thousands of girls in their assemblies, classes and informal meetings in our leading educational institutions,” the agency explained in a memorandum to De Beers. The agency had organized, in 1946, a weekly service called “Hollywood Personalities,” which provided 125 leading newspapers with descriptions of the diamonds worn by movie stars. And it continued its efforts to encourage news coverage of celebrities displaying diamond rings as symbols of romantic involvement. In 1947, the agency commissioned a series of portraits of “engaged socialites.” The idea was to create prestigious “role models” for the poorer middle-class wage-earners. The advertising agency explained, in its 1948 strategy paper, “We spread the word of diamonds worn by stars of screen and stage, by wives and daughters of political leaders, by any woman who can make the grocer’s wife and the mechanic’s sweetheart say ‘I wish I had what she has.’”

SO Ben Estes added me as a facebook friend. He lives in Kentucky…we are amazing and were both called testes as kids. Ah memories.

I passed out last night. Sober. On my floor and on a bag of popcorn.
Had class at 9:00, woke up at 9:15
Had class at 11:00, woke up at….11:15
Had class at 2:00, woke up at 1:45, ran.
Prolly the lack of sleep all weekend and the week before and the week before that got me.
I have to write my damnd spanish speech tonight. 5-6 minutes. Im going to do ecotourism in central america. I think most people will be interested. The quarter is almost over…i need to step up to the plate and hit someone will a wooden bat so to speak.
More weekend updates.
Got some musik from Assley in Fo Grov. 4 songs more than anything I missed. Nalguita…omg pmosh is amazing. and kumbia kings, no tengo dinero, sabes a chocolate and mi dulce nina. Im good for a week on these songs. Got my fix for now.
I forgot to mention Emily fell another time down in Oregon, twice…but probably more when no one was looking. We just fall alot, thats what we do. We come with warning labels too. We give people warning labels before we allow them to hangout with us. Right before we left Assleys place I slammed her finger in the door. Not on purpose, just shut the door and her finger was there. Its a nasty one.
I had a freeway fan club…people like staring at me in my sexxy eurovan while I caar dance. Car dancing is such an art form.
Seen on a car in Forest Grove…Life begins at conception and ends at planned parenthood….ohhh!
And we went to goodwill and semi-got kicked out. I tried on some snazzy short womens jackets with shoulder pads, cuz I looked good in them, and some trick-ass employee decides to reprimand us and literally says “that is not cool” and then explains that Im trying on something far too small for me, etc, blahblahblah. Well Emily and Idont care…we give a little bit of attitude…like dont fuck with us….and walk away all awkwardly and flee immediatley from the store. Bye!?!?!?!

This weekend was pleasing.
Friday night was redunk! We had a little drama, but not in a dramatic way. It was my fault, I’m tarded. But it actually turned into the raddest most fun-tastic night err. Dance parties always win. No losing possible. Sat, woke up, saw Woody and Father and then peaced hardcore. Arrived in Oregon, found some place and saw Assley. It was creepy seeing her in a non-foreign place. Go back to Mexico bitch, and get my dancing shirt back. Emily fell at the basketball game onto a cheerleader, but since she was wearing Ashley’s hat, the entire school (which was there) thought it was Ashley. Ashley is now forced to transfer. I saw BRENDA!!!! We went out for foo-foo and I squeezled my way ino free food, it was hil-arious. I thought so.
Went and saw Ems broski in Portland and had mexican and bad gas and had to return back to Washington. So hard, but it was necessary. Then went to a cabin party. I keep sneezing a lot now. You too emily? We must have caught a sneezing disease. Didn’t think about school.
I am returning to ‘FoGro’ soon to revist Assley and her madness. And other reasons. Ohhahamuha. La!
