Random Musings-

Bush is mouthing off about Cuba again. A reporter asked Presidential Press Secretary Dana Perino yesterday why Dubya was so obsessed with Cuba, and she replied that he was obsessed with "human rights".

Well... I'm damned glad to hear it. I suppose that tomorrow he will be announcing an economic boycott of Dik Cheney's friends, the Saudis, in whose country women are not allowed to drive, vote, or basically do anything, and which bars Jews from entry.

Or maybe we'll just start bombing them?

I'm tuning in to CNN now to watch for updates.

Mammoo and Fidel for President!

Malach- well, it's not like Fidel is a prize, but I get annoyed at the continuing persecution of a penny-ante little two-bit dictatorship which we could actually help by normalizing relations with, when the "excuse" is human rights. Bush cares as much about human rights as he cares about poor kids.

Do we get to vote on this? If we do, I vote for bombing Saudi Arabia and opening up Cuba for tourism.

Seriously, don't these guys get it? If we started letting Americans go to Cuba and spend those almightly dollars the Cuban people would dump Castro like a tin of spoiled sardines.

Mike- Exactamundo!!

Bush cares so much for human rights that Detainee #002 at Guantanamo Bay (David Hicks) was held without charge and submitted to torture for so long, that he finally "confessed" to something just to get home to Australia. (That "something" not having been an actual "crime" at the beginning of his detention.)

And the Desiccated Coconut is not without sin in this disgusting matter either. Roll on 24th November.

Why Dubya won't even let Laura trim her bush!

I think someone need to invent an invisible shield all the way around the USA...or one of those domes like they had in the Simpsons movie.

Yeah that's right,that's the ticket!

I'm with Sara Sue. Maybe Dubya is obessed with Fidel b/c his beard looks like Laura's bush.

Georgie is obessed with me because we had that one night stand at the UN & I left him for Hugo.

He can't move on. Mammo has a crush on him.
Georgie it's over with us. There never was us. It was a fun couple of hours with lots of lube & cigars

If you just stop thinking, it will all make sense.

It's simple...

..he's on a cigar-finding mission for Bill Clinton.

Monica is pleased.

Cissy- A "crime" is what The Deciderator says it is.

Sara- oh no, let's not get back into those visuals...

PrePondering- We're not in a Simpson's movie? Damn...

C.Rag- You have photos for comparison?

Fidel- I hear Mamoo's going steady with Pat Dobson now.

Angryman- If I stop it would be too tempting not to start again.

Mooooog- ah, Monica. Can't believe those were the Good Old Days.

There is definitely a lot of hypocrisy when it comes to your government. But, I suppose there is a lot of hypocrisy in all governments.
