    DEAR PRUDENCE

    Dear Prudence, won’t you come out today hey hey

    Dear Pudence, it’s a brand new day hey hey hey

    The sun is up, the sky is blue

    It’s beautiful, and so are you

    Dear Prudence, won’t you come out today?

     

    Dear Prudence:

    I am a 30-year-old woman who has been dating a lovely man for three months. He's smart, funny, cute, and kind. I've felt so lucky to have found him. Here's the problem: We recently became intimate for the first time, and he is, unfortunately, very poorly endowed—so small that I did some Google searching and think he might have a micropenis. I believe that sex is crucial to a relationship, and the thought of having a (potentially lifelong) relationship without an active sex life scares me. When you can't feel anything during the act, that's a problem. I know that there are other options in the bedroom, but I get pleasure by doing it the old-fashioned way. I feel awful about this—it's obviously something that he can't help, and it slays me that the universe would be so unjust to such a wonderful person. I'm conflicted. I see a potential future with him in every other way, but how do I deal with this? Do women who marry very poorly endowed men end up regretting it? If I let him go, what should I tell him that won't absolutely crush him?

    Pencil-dick bush is back in the news again. My God how I miss him!!!

    Such a prick, such an impotent rotten fascist bastard!!!

    The unpopular Republican leader made the suggestion while speaking at a trade conference in the Windy City, where he discussed his legacy and also offered a glimpse into what readers can expect from his forthcoming memoir, Decision Points.

    "I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities," explained Bush. "In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger."

    Bush poked fun at himself in addressing how his thoughts will be delivered in his memoir.

    "I have written a book," he said. "This will come as quite a shock to some. They didn't think I could read, much less write."

    With the 2010 midterm election just weeks away, it's possible that the comments from the former president may leave some members of the GOP community a bit uneasy. Over the summer, it was reported that the release date for Bush's memoir -- November 9 -- had Republicans concerned that the timing could hurt the party's chances at the polls

    Of course if pencil-dick bush had been more potent, 200 million Americans would have been screwed by the crash of September, 2008.

    Legacy…what exactly does legacy mean?

    Legacy (plural legacies)

    1. (law) money or property bequeathed to someone in a will
    2. Something inherited from a predecessor; a heritage

    John Muir left as his legacy an enduring spirit of respect for the environment.

    1. The descendant of an alumnus

    But here is another definition of legacy from the same source:

    legacy

    1. (computing) of a computer system that has been in service for many years and that a business still relies upon, even though it is becoming expensive or difficult to maintain
    2. left behind; old or no longer in active use

    They expect it to take years to process and import all the legacy data.

    I think that pencil-dick bush’s legacy is more amenable to the second definition, don’t you?

    After nearly a decade in Iraq and Afghanistan, over 2 million Americans have served, a trillion dollars have been spent and yet only 3 percent of Americans have war on their radar this election. http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/

    http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/

    Another part of pencil-dick bush’s legacy would take thousands of pages, really:

    1. The end of surplus when speaking of the American Economy.
    2. The end of any hope that we will once again experience a thriving middle class.
    3. The end of any protections by way of the Fourth, Fifth or Sixth or Eighth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
    4. The end any hope that the United States will be end its continuous wars against the entire world.
    5. The end of a solvent Social Security System.
    6. The end of parity among the classes within this nation.
    7. The end of regulations instituted to keep an eye on capital in this country.
    8. The end of any hope for Truth, Justice or the American Way.

     

    I AM THE DECIDER, pencil-dick bush liked to say.

    He certainly knew how to get his rocks off.

    His partner, this nation could never say the same.

    When I saw your title, all I could think of was this:

    I love this song. Well, there aren't many Beatles song's that I don't like really. Let's make it a Beatles day.

    Good article Dick!

    Bush says: 

    "In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger."

    WTF?? He's the one who supposedly "chose" Cheney as his VP. It was his biggest (only?) accomplishment. In so doing, he exposed this country to the greatest threat we have faced in my lifetime.

    His legacy? YeeGads! History won't be too kind to Bush. That is assuming, of course, anyone's left to write the history when we are done with him and his "legacy.".


    by SleepinJeezus on Sat, 10/23/2010 - 10:19am

    I recall doing a post early last year citing an article by Rove in the WSJ. It listed w's accomplishments.

    Just keep repeating the same lies over and over; eventually more and more people start believing it.


    by Richard Day on Sat, 10/23/2010 - 3:38pm

    "My biggest accomplishment was keeping the country safe amidst a real danger."

    By taking the country to war, Bush distracted the population from the essenetial truth that the attacks of Sept 11, 2001, happened on his watch.

    By failing to capture Bin Laden at Tora Bora the blood lust of the population could be sustained and directed toward Bush's primary goal--regime change in Iraq.

    By squandering our national resources on foreign war, Bush failed to seize the opportunity to revamp our decaying infrastructure while at the same time hardening it against domestic attacks. 

    Like his Harvard MBA friends on Wall St., Bush's goal was to get through a calendar year, throw the calendar away, and collect a bonus--all without the integrity and fortitude to ever stand up and admit the long term adverse consequences of his actions upon others. 

    Geroge W. Bush is the cancer in our society. He is the national adolescent who has never been disciplined or made to account for his incompetent actions. This adolescdent brought the family down and should be made to make amends. But that has not happened. Thus we strike out at all manner of substitute ills, never lancing the festering boil that is George Bush.

    George Bush's contorted legacy will continue to knaw at our insides, making us forever sick at the thought of what might have been.

    The national adolescent for sure!!!


    by Richard Day on Sat, 10/23/2010 - 3:39pm

    George W. Bush was the 'carnival barker' for a Republican regime that thought they could get away with anything, constant unrelenting lies, torture, illegal and perpetual wars, a post-9/11 anthrax attack blamed years later on the dead, used along with 9/11 to stoke fervor for the invasion of Iraq, demands to Congress not to investigate 9/11, then appointing Kissinger to lead it-then Bush and Cheney giving secret unsworn testimony with no transcript. Any rational person might have some skepticism about 'the facts' surrounding each and every calamity that occurred during the 8 years of the George W. Bush administration, and wonder, would it have happened at all if he was not the one in the Oval Office?


    by NCD on Sat, 10/23/2010 - 11:52am

    There are no 'facts' to these damned repubs. That goes for the current teabagging bastards that will probably take over Congress in ten days.

    We, the American People, have learning curve issues.

    Things can be going rather well and Liz Cheney comes on the tellie and I go into a rage; I mean 'they' let her speak; they give her a forum to speak.

    Imagine!!!


    by Richard Day on Sat, 10/23/2010 - 3:43pm

    Unfortunately, the Bush legacy will soon be re-buffed, polished and touted as admirable and distinguished by the same hack partisan historians that now want to convince everyone that FDR was not a great President and that his policies were Socialism and 'horribly misguided'. 

    Just as the mainstream media has been taken over by neo-cons, the concept of objective and unbiased Historians has been sullied with the neo-con re-write teams, out to re-shape and re-create History so that it's more to their liking.

    Somebody should write a book entitled: THE EDITORS.

    There are propagandists who can make anything look good.

    I, even during spurts of depression, attempt to remain optimistic.  Today, and in the forseeable future, I'm fully pessimistic.  To go through the list of negative forces that our modern society is and will continue to endure, would be a rewrite of what thousands of posters have spelled-out in post after post.  How is it possible that so many of the middle class have forgotten or are ignoring what got us into this condition?

    I am dumbfounded at the dumbness I find throughout this country; if the polls are to be believed.

    How bad does it have to get?

    I guess we will have some idea how bad it is going to get in less than ten days.

    Dear Pudence?

    Hmmmmmm.....


    by quinn esq on Sat, 10/23/2010 - 4:16pm

    I fully expect we'll lose the House.  The Senate, a possibility.  Although the GOP has done everything in its power to make this administration an abject failure, Obama was even hesitant to make full use of Recess Appointments...I hope he isn't as hesitant with his veto authority.  It's time for him to realize that this is a "winner take all" era in political warfare.
