The Dyspeptic Tank

Cheney, vice-kingpin of the Bush crime family, is proving quite the extortionist. "If we make the wrong choice, then the danger is that we'll get hit again." Ya know, if you don't vote for me and my associate, a bad thing could happen. I'm not sayin' it will, but bad things have a way of happenin' if you don't do what's best for you. That other bad thing that happened--it could happen again. A vote for us is like insurance.

It's a bloody protection racket. The threat implicit in the above statement is: if we vote for Kerry, they will MAKE it happen. And, the near-unthinkable: if they could make it happen again, did they make it happen BEFORE?

I gag to think about it, but the indications are there. Before 9/11, Bush was a zilch; after the disaster, he was suddenly "Churchillian." He needed the image boost, and Americans were willing to give him all sorts of additional power. Suddenly, if you didn't "support your President," you were "with the terrorists." If there are monsters under the bed, you need your daddy, even if he is an alcoholic fuck-up. No wonder he regards America as a "10-year-old child." And HE'S the father? We need to be placed in foster care, pronto.

This is no conspiracy theory: the Bushes are ultra tight with the Saudi government--and people in the Saudi government were cutting checks to the hijackers. (And so we attacked IRAQ. Makes perfect sense to me.) Suddenly, a world-weariness suffuses me, and I yearn for an endless succession of cold malty beverages. Anything to make the hurting stop.

Better do like the man says if ya know what's good for ya.
