Dowd: Welcome to Bushworld, where things aren't what they appear to be
Maureen Dowd THE NEW YORK TIMES WASHINGTON -- It's their reality. We just live and die in it. In Bushworld, our troops go to war and get killed, but you never see the bodies coming home. In Bushworld, flag-draped remains of the fallen are important to revere and show the nation, but only in political ads hawking the president's leadership against terror. In Bushworld, we can create an exciting Iraqi democracy as long as it doesn't control its own military, pass any laws or have any power. In Bushworld, we can win over Fallujah by bulldozing it. In Bushworld, it was worth going to war so Iraqis could express their feelings ("Down With America!") without having their tongues cut out, although we cannot yet allow them to express intemperate feelings in newspapers ("Down With America!") without shutting them down. In Bushworld, it's fine to take $700 million that Congress provided for the war in Afghanistan and 9-11 recovery and divert it to the war in Iraq that you are insisting you are not planning. In Bushworld, you don't consult your father, the expert in being president during a war with Iraq, but you do talk to your Higher Father, who can't talk back to warn you to get an exit strategy or chide you for using Him for political purposes. In Bushworld, it's OK to run for re-election as the avenger of 9-11, even as you make secret deals with the Arab kingdom where most of the 9-11 hijackers came from. In Bushworld, you get to strut around like a tough military guy and paint your rival as a chicken hawk, even though he's the one who won medals in combat and was praised by his superior officers for fulfilling all his obligations. In Bushworld, it makes sense to press for transparency in Mr. and Mrs. Rival while cultivating your own opacity. In Bushworld, you can reign as the antiterror president even after hearing an intelligence report about al-Qaida's plans to attack America and then stepping outside to clear brush. In Bushworld, those who dissemble about the troops and money it will take to get Iraq on its feet are patriots, while those who are honest are patronizingly marginalized. In Bushworld, they struggle to keep church and state separate in Iraq, even as they increasingly merge the two in America. In Bushworld, you can claim to be the environmental president on Earth Day while being the industry president every other day. In Bushworld, you brag about how well Afghanistan is going, even though soldiers like Pat Tillman are still dying and the Taliban are running freely around the border areas, hiding Osama and delaying elections. In Bushworld, imperfect intelligence is good enough to knock over Iraq. But even better evidence that North Korea is building the weapons that Saddam could only dream about is hidden away. In Bushworld, the CIA says it can't find out whether there are WMD in Iraq unless we invade on the grounds that there are WMD. In Bushworld, there's no irony that so many who did so much to avoid the Vietnam draft have now strained the military so much that lawmakers are talking about bringing back the draft. In Bushworld, we're making progress in the war on terror by fighting a war that creates terrorists. In Bushworld, you don't need to bother asking your vice president and top Defense Department officials whether you should go to war in Iraq, because they've already maneuvered you into going to war. In Bushworld, it's perfectly natural for the president and vice president to appear before the 9-11 commission like the Olsen twins. In Bushworld, you expound on remaking the Middle East and spreading pro-American sentiments even as you expand anti-American sentiments by ineptly occupying Iraq and unstintingly backing Ariel Sharon on West Bank settlements. In Bushworld, we went to war to give Iraq a democratic process, yet we disdain the democratic process that causes allies to pull out troops. In Bushworld, you pride yourself on the fact that your administration does not leak to the press, while you flood the best-known journalist in Washington with inside information. In Bushworld, you list Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack as recommended reading on your campaign Web site, even though it makes you seem divorced from reality. That is, unless you live in Bushworld. ----- New York Times News Service |

The cops are well-groomed,
with muscled physiques in Butt Town Their tan uniforms are tailored in chic In Butt Town Any young Black male who walks down the street Is gonna get stopped by a car full of meat But the girl with the hair Flies by in her underwear- She's done nothing so far to deserve that car When you live in Butt Town You gotta get down But in Butt Town I'm learnin' In Butt Town I'm earnin' In Butt Town I'm turnin' Into my worst nightmare I'm tellin' you, it's a motley crew in Butt Town Monday you're new, and Friday you're through In Butt Town The producer is wily, and owns what he sells The talent is eager to go straight to hell The tits are amazing, and everyone's gazing At some body part- That's the nature of art in Butt Town All over Butt Town dreams have a show down All over Butt Town values are thrown down But in Butt Town I'm learnin' In Butt Town I'm earnin' In Butt Town I'm turnin' Into my worst nightmare In Butt Town baby I'm gonna be a star I'm gonna shake my butt far Now here we go I'm gonna shake my butt Shake my butt shake my butt In Butt Town Iggy Pop |

Meni,
You can kiss my hairy redneck ass right on the pucker with your pompus dreamworld drippin lips... I've grown weary of your pathetic posturing, thinking in your deluded head that anyone here is impressed you are 'rated hot', can lift a few freeweights and have had your penis in a pornstars snatch... Was it a matter of getting beat up too much as a kid or just not beaten on enough? I've no love for Buff's opinions on several topics but for you and your I'm so special cause I've got my wittle strong sholder in my avatar to up and suggest he change his 'tough guy' icon is fucking bullshit... opranos a forum, gfy is the playground... toddle off and go steal some lunchmoney ya fruitcake.

Buff ... have you ever woken up with both a black eye and a hickey?
Has your entire family headed straight to the shooting range after opening your [insert religious holiday here] presents? Do you have more than one living relative is named after a southern civil war general? Do you think that beef jerky and Moon Pies are two of the major food groups? Does Jack Daniels make your list of "most admired people"? Do you think the Mountain Men in deliverance were just "Misunderstood"? Does a sign that says "Say No To Crack!" remind you to pull up your jeans? Does your parakeet knows the phrase "Open up, Police!"? Have you ever hit on somebody in a VD clinic?
