Bush, the imbecile president, is still spending your weekly paycheck contributions to social security. Oh, well.

So if you are really poor or a senior citizen in the no tax bracket, or say a member of the Russian Mafia and don't file a return, no C-note?

This typifies the GOP and the Bush Admin. When a problem presents itself, first identify how they can make it benefit Big Corporate/Big Oil, once they figure that out, develop a Trojan Horse for the Right WIng Media to feed to the public to sneak their scam through. The problem this time is twofold: First, more that 2/3 of the country know Bush is a lying scam artist, and Second, $100 is good for maybe 1.5 or 2 fillups now, and by Christmas probably won't even fill up a Harley. This shows just how out of touch the Bush Admin is - they don't even know how little a $100 does with gas at $3+ a gallon. Reminds me of Bush senior when he was mystified by the scanner at a grocery store during the race with Clinton. The world saw a Rich Guy who never shopped for himself - now they see his son as the Brat Son of a Rich Guy who hasn't had to fill up a tank in years and could care less how much gas costs.

Another reason Bush is such a weird person:

It is clear that he was never disciplined as a child, that he got away with everything, from wetting his bed until he was 11 to setting fires until he was 14 (two things told to me in private after the book came out and that I never before mentioned in public), to shooting at his siblings with a bee bee gun, to drinking himself into oblivion, to being arrested for DWI, and on and on. He was always rescued by his father, by friends of his father, by his money, by his personal charm (when sober). Now he expects the next president to rescue him from Iraq.

Mary, all signs of a very mentally troubled person.

T2, yeah I remember the scanner episode. I, along with millions of other Americans, could not believe that Bush had never heard of or seen a scanner. You also just reminded me how much I hated Bush Senior also.

Bush can take his $100 and shove it up his, or anyone he chooses, ass.

Looks like the anti-war protest in New York was very successful. Now we need to keep the ball rolling for more and more protests.

Atrocities? You mean where the Marines separated the women and children from the men before gunning them all down? At least they used bullets. They could have just as easily stomped on the babies heads instead. Or maybe they did. No matter. Just Towel Head babies.

It's the Bush way. Steal tons of money from the people while never acknowledging the theft, and redistribute it to the wealthy few. Let the poor and middle-class stew and suffer. Give a tiny fraction back. Bask in the glow of adoration from the ignorant masses. Use the "it's your money, you know what to do with it better than the gubament" mantra. Win the next election while you laugh all the way to the bank.
