He Could Have Had a G8

The Republicans in office are really businessmen representing a few very strong interest groups. They have no vision other than financial gain for a few old industries. After they are done skimming, they will pack it in and go home.

Karl Rove, who consistently lives by the polls, has admitted the Republican party is in the toilet. And he’s rather blithe. He had his time. Everyone in this administration did what they needed to do for their careers and for their bank accounts. And now it’s coming to a close. They really don’t care what happens when they are through. It was pure selfishness. Many fearful men followed them. Some grew very rich. Some did not get their religious agenda for an evolution-free America. Some went to jail.

The whole experiment was a huge failure. And the Neo-cons know it. But being ideologues, they are wryly distant about the whole thing, shrugging their shoulders. They are like little boys with chemistry sets who blew up the garage and then slink in the house with a “shucks” grin and hog down a comfy dinner.

While in Germany, Bush the lesser is doing nothing to come together with the other seven leaders. It’s more of the same. He talks a little about implementing a few things by 2008 or 2010, but he will be so out of office and cleaning brush fulltime that he is not really thinking about what he’s even saying. He just doesn’t care. Like a child in a fit of sloth, he sits tight. He loves his easy money. He is stasis in flesh.

Even if his actions are not motivated by plain selfishness, let's just say, why anyone would put the current short term economic goals over long term economic goals is beyond me. History will prove that being green at this point in time was the only feasible way to succeed. It will preserve the earth. It will obey the laws of physics. It will make for healthier human beings. It will spur innovation. Why someone would not get on board with this only proves his lunacy.

This president that we have suffered under for endless, painful years has no vision. He is the old man in the hardware store who just wants to stockpile cash in the last couple of years before he retires with the least amount of effort, stuck behind his pride that smacks of, “I’ve been doing it this way all these years. Who is anyone to tell me to change?” Rearranging the old hammers to the back of the store for the new hammers that are ergonomically superior is just too much trouble for him and even considering the movement aches his petty pride. Small, indolent men in positions of power are invidious traitors who hurt every soul they manage to control.

Oh, Bush: Resign. Go clear brush, you lazy slob. And let the world get on with it.
