Miss me yetter?

Oh, remember those grand times! The insane and evil in charge of the country, running us into ruin while gloating, strutting, and tut-tutting any who would dare speak against them.

But even the hug of W. wasn't enough to grant John McCain the blessing of Jesus to win the Presidency and lead the Christian nation of America.

Fucking sweet moment in history, right here.

Goodbye, Wingnuts. Your time is over, and we are all the worse for your actions.

Sense of his soul

As you might recall in long ago history, W. was the President of the US of A and was awesome. He was also total bro's with Vladimir Putin, and thus brought peace between the USSR and America. And he did it with the power of being Born Again. W. on Putin:

“I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country.”

You see, once you get a sense of someone's soul, you're best buds, and will totally exchange information regarding TERROR.

Remember Benghazi?

If you don't follow politics, specifically the state sponsored insanity that is the American Republican Party and its followers, you might not know what the heck is the significance of Benghazi. But rest assured, because neither do the Wingnuts who rage on about it. New Rule! If anyone you know brings up Benghazi in a sincere manner, de-friend them immediately. This belief is a touchstone for the insane Wingnut.

OMG! Employees of the American government died during a terrorist attack! What a conspiracy! What an outrage! Seriously, that's it. 4 folks, unfortunately, died during a terrorist attack on a CIA undercover base. But hey...

I'm not even blaming W. - shit went down, terrorism wise, in the years 1990 -2008. Lots of people died, unfortunately in all cases, and it's a damn shame. Do you hear the Wingnuts bleating about any of the above attacks? Of course not - know why?

He's "Black", don't ya know?

And awesome. Best President since Teddy.

Pretty Fly

Awesome shirt, Pappy! That's some hippy shit, right there.

And for your daily moment of despair, try and imagine any current Republican in any way celebrating or even noting Earth Day. Go ahead, I'll wait....

That said, Pappy would stand zero chance of winning any national position in today's Republican party. Not isane enough, by far.

Bush Originals

I'm sure you've seen the kinda creepy paintings of W in the bath and shower by now, painted by W himself. Well, look again!

I'm impressed, honestly, for the effort. And I don't think they're that bad - they're not masterpieces, but I'd hang 'em on my wall if my kid painted them - well, not these, actually. Kinda creepy. Like W has to wash off all the blood on his hands, but it never washes out! But in a far happier theme:

Behold, Bush originals, ready for the gallery - and if I owned an art gallery I'd totally exhibit them, unironically. Let the protestors bring the irony (and $$$).

The artist himself with some new pieces - look at the cute puppies! And W looks so happy. Good for him! Art is its own reward.

I'll give W some more credit - he's mostly kept out of the limelight. He could have had a disastrous role if he had played into the Tea Party anger. But no, relatively classy as hell. So, despite all the horrors and terrors of his two terms, despite his loathsome supporters (an unironic bumper sticker above), I say to you W: Enjoy your painting!

Still Not Missing You

No matter how insane politics seem today, thanks to the Repuglicans, forget not the true horrors when they were in charge of everything, and given a nice big terrorist attack which allowed them run amok. Here's W. announcing our invasion of Iraq - I'm sure those WMD's will turn up any day now. But let us consider a younger Bush, before he was cruelly thrust into positions of power:

Jolly drinking Bush! I'm of the mind he continued to drink occasionally while in office, but perhaps the world would be a better place if he just stayed drunk and played the rich layabout, rather than letting his Dad make something of him. But, let us give praise for one thing W did that was sincerely good:

He terrified and puzzled Africans, but he also legitimately helped groups dedicated towards the prevention/treatment of AIDS in Africa.

Good for you, W.

Not Illegal Yet

Babs is going to have a talk with the usher during intermission - how did a Negro get seated in her section?!

Not yet, but soon. Once the FEMA camps are running and the Death Panels adjudicated.

Yes, being white is not illegal yet, thanks to the tireless efforts of Freepers and other armchair warriors. Behold, their Leader!

Jim Robinson, founder and Grand Poobah of freerepublic.com, a terrible, evil website of old cranky white people revealing their inner most evil, Republican thoughts. Fun fact - JimRob raises more than 300K a year to run the site. The internet detectives figure it costs about 15K a year to run the website, and thus.... a 285K salary for JimRob, and son. Nice grift, right? But this is what Republicanism is all about these days: The grift. Of people, of a nation, of the world.

Not grifters, but like remora, legions of grifters follow in their wake, suckling on the power. So much power - too much?

Don't worry - it's diluted more each and every single day.

Never give up!

It's not that the Republican "brain trust" hasn't been trying to create the next Reagan. W. was a real serious attempt - witness the phony ranch in Crawford - but alas!

The incompetence was too great for even the Media to spin as a success, and apart from the 27%, Bush is widely seen as a tremendous failure. But you don't quit the game! You keep playing!

Palin is a more organic (that is, from the Teabag bottom up rather than from the elites on high) version of the same phenomena, but even somehow more incompetent, and thankfully we still reside in a reality where competence counts for something.

A pic from the governor's meeting with then President elect Obama. Oh, how she must have burned!

Again, the horizon seems free of anything approaching charismatic base competence in the Republican future, in terms of both leadership and ideas. This is all they have left:

Mockery and bad memes. And this is their version of a LOL meme now - posing with an empty wine glass. Ha!

Gay Republicans - is there anything funnier?

Presidents meet Rock Stars

The gold standard, of course. But there's so many more!

It's Jerry Ford with George Harrison and the dude with the best afro in history!

From the pilot episode of "Hangin' with the Prez!", Willie Nelson and Gang meet up with President Jimmy Carter to put an end to littering! Also, many years later at the reunion show:

President Carter busts out his lucky harmonica and they jam out like olden times. Good times, before the dark times. Before, Michael.

MJ hears the babbled requests of President and First Lady Reagan - they're olds, you see, and don't get what MJ is all about. They were ordered to appease His Royal Gloved One. Cuz Michael owned the 80's. This is a Pete Souza, by the by, who takes most of the cool shots you see of Obama over the past 4.5 years.

Nah gonna do'it. Wouldn't be prudent. Bush Sr. met no cool rock stars, by the way, cuz he was a big wimp.

Pearl Jam and Big Dog. You know shit went down after this photo - grunged out mosh pit right there in the Oval Office.  Awesome!

W., like all Republicans, was still in thrall to MJ, even after he turned into a scary crow monster. K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

So cool.

A Right Turn in Yorba Linda

Briefly, the decline of America began under Nixon, and accelerated because of Nixon's descendents. From here on till today, each new iteration of the Republican Party gets worse. More evil. Nixon was the beginning, for who didn't like Ike?

Nixon had to resign! He was terrible, and yet his martyrdom at the hands of LIBERAL MEDIA has been the rallying cause for generations of "Conservatives" since, with many of the key players involved in all the acts to come. Dick Cheney, for instance. Roger Ailes, for another. However, America of the 1970's still had some sense left in her, and so rejected Ronnie for Jimmie Carter and sweaters and solar panels on the White House.

Yay Jimmy Carter! But alas, for Jimmy, and us all, the monster had been woken, and took power in part because of a total rat bastard deal with the Iranian Mullahs. Hail Saint Ronnie!

Thanks to relentless right wing propaganda, you may remember Ronnie as a kind hearted, awesome President who saved the world from evil. However, the truth was, and is, he was a puppet for far darker forces which effectively ruled in his stead once he began suffering from severe dementia circa 1985. It was this so called Reagan Revolution that loosed the Wing Nut Id on America and the world, and think of the damage this has caused - and will cause in the years to come. Millions of dead Middle Easterners, just for starters. Millions of Americans in prison. Plenty of straight up treason too in the Reagan Administration, ably covered up by:

Bush Senior, and for that he'll be remembered poorly. But alas, in retrospect, compared to the utter loons now dominating the Republican landscape, Bush the Elder was a moderate, sane man who I do believe genuinely wanted to do good by the country and the world. For example, I think he handled the fall of the USSR smoothly - a situation that was extremely dangerous. But being a moderate elite technocrat was also now dangerous in the Republican Party, so Bush Sr lost to Bill Clinton

A fine President in many respects, yet because of his human failings, and the explosion of the First Wingularity, he played defense for most of his two terms, which translated to enacting highly pro-corporate policies, which led directly to the economic collapse of 2008, and now have placed America firmly in the grip of ruthless tycoons who will bleed this country dry for their own betterment. So, mixed bag really with Slick Willie. He was perhaps the funnest President though, by far.

And you know all about W., I hope, by now. And so here we are in 2013, with the fires of mass insanity burning brightly in about 27 - 40% of the population, and we have the best President of my lifetime trying to control them. Good luck Barack, you'll need it!

The coolest President.

Bonus Nixon pic:

War Dancer

Grampy W. dancing with an Iraq war vet. If you recall those dark times, remember that it seemed W. got considerably dumber as his two terms went on? I saw a youtube of W. from his Texas governor run and he's sharp, quick, and responsive - totally different guy than Bush as President. What happened? Alcohol, or dementia?

Greater Wingnuttia

Billionaire Sheldon Adelson scooting out of Romney HQ on election night. So much money spent, for naught. But what does that matter to billionaires? Plenty more where that came from. And plenty of wingnuts to grift and be grifted from.

Jim Robinson, founder of FreeRepublic.com. Rumored to be very rich from his website. If you want a direct insight into the wingnut brain, spend a few hours on the site. You'll look into the darkest soul of man. Crazy as heck too. And dumb.

There's lots of talk of secession these days. Isn't that odd?

It's dudes like this who are the reason we can't have nice things. At least without some epic fight. But hey yeah everyone's got the right to have their say, dumb/paranoid as it might be.

LOL America!
