re: Reubenesque

G Dubya = Middle Class Hammered
But might as well read:
George W.= My Country Hammered

And in answering your last question, sadly, very possible.

Brilliant post, GW=MCHammered.  Maybe the funniest I’ve ever read.  And so very insightful and true.  By the way, does your handle mean…

George W.=My Country Hammered?


Also. Is it true that Governmentium in the close proximity of Neocontium results in absolute planetary annihilation?

EXTERMINATE GOVERMENTIUM!

Research has discovered of the heaviest element known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every action with which it comes into contact.

A minute amount of Governmentium causes a reaction that normally would take less than a second to occur, to take from four days to four years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

Governmentium’s mass actually increases over time, since each reorganization causes more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration referred to as critical morass. When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

hey, don’t forget Obama wants drilling too. Lets face it they ALL are corrupt. They will do the will of the corporations NOT the will of the people.

All the oil sucked from public lands by oil companies is sold on the open international market. It most likely will not make it to your Prius’ tank!

Poignant and beautiful.  The repugs could sell shit to a waste treatment plant if it were run by the typical American knee-jerk fool that can’t see through this absurd ruse.
