you've got the american jesus

i can't believe dubya said this:

"We know from long experience that if released inmates can't find work or a home, they are much more likely to commit crime and return to prison. So I propose a four-year, $300 million Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative to expand job training and placement services, to provide transitional housing and to help newly released prisoners get mentoring, including from faith-based groups. America is the land of second chance, and when the gates of the prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life."

he must have been possessed by the spirit of jimmy carter.

i love how the white house admin line-up is getting the big shakedown like the kansas city royals after a shit season. what do they think they're salvaging? nothing. it only makes them look less capable, makes them look like they're fumbling around pushing random buttons trying to find the one that will work. like they know nothing of what they are doing. of course, we all knew that already.

i wonder when people will start to vote responsibly. i wonder when people will be able to see when they're having the blinds pulled down in front of them. i wonder when we'll all be alright, and we all start to take some responsibility for this world, it's governments and the lives of everyone else around us, not just our own.

no one thinks it's real, or that things will get that bad but i don't even know if we're still able to turn back and be alright NOW. eventually, we're going to be living in some george orwell book, we're almost fully there already. and isn't that just how history has always played out. we don't do anything until it gets so far gone and making things right costs so much more than we should be willing to pay. it happened with hitler. it can happen again.

the funny thing is, it's not that difficult to vote responsibly. it's not that difficult to have any kind of social conscience. all it takes is an inquisitive mind. all you have to do is question everything you hear from everyone, all the time. does it make sense? if we'd done that when bush told us he was going into iraq because they had something to do with 9-11 or when he told us there were WMDs or if his "election" itself had been questioned maybe we wouldn't be at this sorry point in history.

it's not like you have to break a sweat. all you have to do is question. just question. but apparently that's too much for the average dumbfuck idiot. does it suck to have been had? do you feel somewhat violated? pull your fuckin head out of your ass. it's your goddamned fault.
