What are we left with? A nation of god-fearing, pregnant nationalists who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland; pass on traditions; how to get ahead - religions - the idiots are taking over.
And you know, I often sit around and wonder why it is that most of my posts are about Bush. There are SO many other problems I could be facing: dismantling the control structures inherent in our society, railing against the drug war, trying to stop corporate control over an endlessly growing amount of the world... and to an extent, I do go after those problems. But the Bushies just make it so easy! Every single day, all I have to do is read an article about them, and I find something heart-wrenchingly simple to bitch about. I know that in a way, that makes me lazy but.... I'm lazy... so I guess that makes sense.
Amid concerns that plans by OPEC to cut oil production could raise prices even further, Prince Bandar went to the White House April 1 to meet with National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and to deliver a message to Bush from Crown Prince Abdullah, the de facto Saudi ruler.
Afterward, he told reporters that Saudi Arabia is committed to heading off any shortages in the world energy market.
"We will not allow shortages in the market because that will hurt the world economy," he said. "Saudi Arabia does not live on the moon. When the world economy gets hurt, we get hurt also."
Bandar, of course, is the Bush family's favorite Saudi royal. He's known by the family as "Bandar Bush," because George Senior likes him so much he considers him family. Obviously, Bandar returns the sentiment.
I'll write more about Woodward later, but I just think this is the most important claim he makes. If it's true, it provides us with new and overwhelming reasons to get GW the fuck out of the White House come November. I'll deal with Kerry once Bush is out of the way, and believe me, deal I will.
