Scooter gets paid. Conjure up your own value for 2.5 years. We all saw it coming yet we’re stunned in disbelief. This is it, the holding up with audacity and without a cloak an absolute disregard for all of it, rules, law, articles, the lot. King George is coronated on this day. Pissed off, aren’t we all.?
I settle…
There’s a scene in the movie A Bronx Tale (yeah I know another movie reference, sue me, I’ll likely get pardoned) Where young “C” leaves his friends to chase down a kid who owes him five dollars (you’ll have to imagine the characters):
Where’s my fucking money?
You’re dead, you piece of shit!Sonny the Gangster steps in:
C, come here!
Get over here.
He’s fucking crazy, this kid.- The kid wants his fucking money.
- What can you do?I got to talk to him.
- You gotta stop babying him.He owes me money.
- Hit him with a fucking bat.
- Knock him all over the block.Is that the advice you give
the kid, you fucking hoodlums?Come on. Don’t listen
to these hoodlums.
I’m going to Gino’s.
I’ll be back.What’s the matter?
This Louie Dumps owes me 5 dollars.
It’s been two weeks, and whenever
he sees me he keeps dodging me.
He’s becoming a pain in the ass.
Should I crack him one?What’s the matter?
What have I been telling you?
Sometimes hurting somebody ain’t the answer.
Is he a good friend of yours?No, I don’t even like him.
There’s your answer right there.
It costs you 5 dollars to get rid of him.
He’s never bother you again.
He’s never gonna ask you for money again.
He’s out of your life for 5 dollars.
You got off cheap.You’re always right.
So here we are madly chasing down an ideal for what, five bucks worth of Bush(TM) justice? Fugetaboutit. You aint gettin’ it.
Yet take solace…
Bush just sealed his historical fate as whatever the horrific descriptions you are no doubt reading all over the internets or simply forming uncontrollably on your own. Bush has assured that it will be a long time before Republicans ever rule again. He also assures that any Republican with a glimmer of hope will have to run squarely in opposition to the Bush legacy further sinking it. Funny how that will play out, the Bush legacy taking one for the team, if just to get back to midfield.
Two and a half years. We got off cheap.

Yeah — this is another one of those straws.
You really have to thank these guys for this but part of me believes this is another smokescreen designed to obscure the attention that SHOULD be given to the voting act that bush signed in the middle of the night. It’s like they’ve planned it all, eh?
Yeah, they have.
So, we should not expect this next election to go well either because this is not the same America that tried to elect a Democrat in 2000 AND in 2004.
Thanks to Roberts and Bush the ‘people’ won’t have a voice but the corporations will be louder and louder.
We need to pay attention to mccain feingold. I’ll try to blog it soon as I get more time.
