American Dumbass

How hard is it to get a few phone numbers correct on a television show? My husband is a video/film editor and I happen to know it is not that hard at all. The information shown on the bottom of the screen during American Idol is already set and ready to go, all the editor has to do is cut and paste. I guess the chimpanzee they have working the controls at FOX didn't get his bananas for the day, so he revolted.

Terri Shiavo's second appeal was denied...oh, I'm sorry, Terri Shiavo's parents second appeal was denied. This doesn't have anything to do with Terri. My mistake. Polls show that most of America thought congress and the president getting involved with this case was wrong. Gives me hope that most of this country isn't brain dead. I wonder how Bush's polls are looking these days? If there was a re-election, would that lump of flesh still make it into the White House?

Here's a question: As Bush is the leader of this country, and leaders should lead by example, why aren't Jenna and Barbara serving in Iraq? If Bush forced his daughters to serve the country they so willingly sponge off of, I'd think a lot better of him. As it is now, we all know the wealthy will never die defending the country that pays their bills. Oh no, it's just us common folk that have to bear the burden. Those of us who don't get free health insurance, hefty salaries, great perks, and Get Out of Jail Free cards (like all those senators and such in Washington do).

Come to think of it, when this country goes to war, shouldn't the children of the people who run it go first? They have signed up to become public servants (sorry, can't stop laughing at that term), shouldn't their children be public servants as well?

The people who govern this country are so out of touch with the common American. It's ridiculous.. I especially hate how Bush attempts to be a commoner, plain folk speech and all. He was born in New Haven Connecticut (where Yale University is at), went to Andover High School, a $30,000 a year school, followed by his stint at Yale, then off to Harvard. Through all of this, he maintained his mediocre academic record. He even had the gall, during a speech at Yale, to address the students and say, even you can be president! (after making a comment about his lousy grades). Yeah you can be president if you're filthy rich and priviliged, if your dad is the head of the CIA... yeah I think that helps.. Crazy when you think of the public's perception of him as a simple man, someone they can relate to... ABSURD!

I saw that his approval rating was 52% approved, 48% dissapproved. I dug deeper and found that of those who approve, only 24% strongly approve, while the remaining percentage only slightly approve. How many strongly dissapprove? 38%.

Keep it up, people!
