America: Land of the panicky children

Has everyone heard about the "bomb scare" in Boston today?

Battery LED signs advertising for "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" on Adult Swim were mistakenly thought to be bombs. These were small signs showing an alien figure giving people "the finger!" Are we that scared in this country, that everytime we see a device made with wires and batteries that we're going to automatically assume it's a bomb?

Thanks to President Bush and his administration trying to brow-beat Americans into being scared silly that terrorists are around every corner, we've become a laughing-stock. Would a terrorist really be stupid enough to make a bomb that looked so strange and out of the ordinary? Or would a terrorist design a bomb that would look like something that no one would look at twice? I think it would be the second option. People in this country need to get their heads out of their collective asses and start remembering what it's like to live without looking over their shoulder every five minutes thinking they're about to be killed.

State of the Union

Tonight will be Bush's sixth State of the Union address, and expect more of the same...

...more lies about how our economy is strengthening...

...more lies about how increasing troops in Iraq will strengthen democracy there...

...more lies about how making health insurance taxable will help lower income Americans...

...more lies, lies, lies, lies etc...

Bush's administration has been based on nothing but lies, and that's all we can expect from him. So don't think having a Democratically controlled Congress and Senate makes any difference. Bush doesn't care what they think or do, anymore than he cares about what 63% of Americans think of his polocies. It doesn't matter what the "majority" of this country wants...he's only going to do whatever it takes to insure his legacy...whatever the HELL that is!!
