LEAVE
IT TO PEEVER
BushWorld: I guess he
taught the Dixie Chicks a lesson.
— Bumper sticker of
the week: They call him ÒWÓ so he can spell it.
— Quote of the week:
ÒWhen I was sixteen, I thought I was in love, and it made me sick — sicker
than a dog. My pap tuck me to the doctor, and come to find out, it wasnÕt love
— it was worms.Ó The Foxfire 40th Anniversary Book
— Song of the week: I like
the Grammy winning song of the year, Not Ready to Make Right, by the Dixie Chicks. Number
one: They are a whole lot better looking than the other groups, and have a lot
more talent. Number two: The song was in response to Bush trying to ruin their
career because the Chicks questioned his intelligence. Five Grammys. This oneÕs
for you, Mr. Bush.
— Where would you
draw the line as a non-violent person:
¥ Would you advocate not
killing anyone, under any circumstances? How about war? Protecting your family?
Your property?
¥ What about capital
punishment? Do you believe some people deserve execution?
¥ Abortion? When do you believe
life starts? Is a femaleÕs right to control her own body more important that a
fetus?
¥ Euthanasia? Should you be
allowed to kill yourself? Would you consider that a violent act?
¥ What about striking someone
in self-defense?
¥ How about
paddling a child who misbehaves?
¥ Would you extend your
non-violence to animals? Insects?
Where is the dividing line?
Is there a dividing line? Thou shall not kill mentions no exceptions. But are
there exceptions? And who establishes them? Are there degrees of non-violence? Perhaps
there is no such thing?
— Attractions:
¥ Good attracts bad. Bad
attracts good. Good usually doesnÕt attract good. Bad always attracts bad.
¥ Big has its place in the
world, as does small. Not everything can be big. Big germs wouldnÕt be good. That
would be annoying.
¥ The rich attract the poor,
usually to do their work for them.
¥ Does life attract death, or
does death attract life?
¥ Smart is attracted to
school. Dumb is how they run them.
¥ Men are attracted to women.
Usually.
¥ People who drink too much
are attracted to bars. Bars are full of alcohol. Alcohol makes you attracted to
anything.
— Send in the Crown:
If Bush wants to expand the war in Iraq, he should parachute into the middle of
Baghdad dressed up in his war regalia, stand in the center of one of the holy
sites we have demolished, and proclaim to all the world: I know there are
weapons of mass destruction here somewhere. IÕll find them, just you wait and
see.
— Want more
hypocrisy?: Clinton was impeached for lying about sex. Many of those same
Republicans still in office refuse to impeach Bush for lies resulting in 3100
U.S. soldiers being killed, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians killed,
and tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers maimed or injured. Also, he made
billions of taxpayer dollars disappear. You talk about hypocrisy. Which is worse:
A blow job or a con job?
— Iran President says
West should end nuclear programs: Damn, the President of Iran is obnoxious. He
wants us to give up our nuclear weapons before he comes to the table to talk
about giving up his. That takes some nerve. Who does this guy think he is,
asking us to give up anything? I say nuke emÕ. It would be for their own good.
They got to learn how to live in Bush World.
