• I can't let today pass without mentioning it. Its a very significant day. One year from today, we will no longer be under the rule of the worst president in American history. Less then one year left, hang in there people. Sure, there is a chance he might be replaced by another Republican, but as long as its not Mike Huckabee, it can't possibly get any worse. Since January of 2007 I have had a Bush out of office countdown calendar which counts down not only months, but also days until he is gone. And yes, they even included a January 2009 in which the month ends on January 20th. Yes, he has been this bad. Most presidents that were bad only hurt America, but this president has hurt the entire world. And not only that, he has also severely hurt America's standing and image with the world. And he still has just under a year left, I wonder what else he could do? Maybe invade Madagascar? Sure, it sounds crazy, I mean, what has Madagascar ever done to us? Then again, what did Iraq do to us? Also, because the name Madagascar contains the words "Mad" "Gas" and "Car" Bush probably thinks its some magical land mad with oil that can be used for gas in cars. Let's see, what other damage could he cause? The value of the American dollar is already so low, its hard to see it sinking any lower. He hasn't violated people's rights in a while, maybe he can find a way to spy on people while they take a shit, as that does seem to be the last bastion that is private. Or maybe like in the movie American Dreamz, he can be a judge on American Idol? Seems to be a fitting way for him to go out, after all, isn't the voting fixed on that show too?

  This couple in Saudi Arabia is being forced to get an annulment because the bride's family has determined that she has married beneath her. My initial reaction to this story is that maybe I can use this as a basis to force my cousin to divorce her loser husband until I remembered her own family and realized that her husband is probably not much lower than her family. Sure, we all know LOTS of people who we wish we could apply this law too. Yet, we all know that this is total bullshit. If somebody wants to marry a total loser, that is their own business. What's even worse is that there are many other things wrong with this case. For example, the family has been jailed for living together illegally. Woman virtually have no rights in this country. They need their family's approval before getting married. They can not travel abroad with out permission from a male guardian. They can not drive or appear before a judge without male representation. And I didn't even get into the lady who was raped but SHE was the one who was sentenced to lashes and jail time. I'm afraid to ask what they do to gays or people who have committed adultly. Hell though in that fucked up shit ass country, Hillary Clinton would have probably gotten a life sentence for Bill cheating on her. Shit, And yet, we still continue on a relationship with this country.

  What I found creepily odd about this case was that the lady wants to get this resolved so that if she can not be with her husband, she can kill herself. Like it was nothing, so casually written (and probably spoken) about her killing herself, almost as if she needed them to hurry up or else she might miss her bus. What the fuck kind of society is it that they speak so casually of suicide that its almost expected? Then again, what the fuck kind of country is it that suicide is the better option for some of these ladies. Something is really fucking wrong with this picture. And this country makes millions of off us because of their oil. And because Bush is dating a whole fucking Saudi royal family, we won't do much or anything about their sad human rights violations. Maybe I'm being too tough on Bush on this one, after all, we had a relationship and got oil from Saudi Arabia before he was in office and will continue after he leaves office in 364 days, but still, because of his relationship with them, he should use it to influence them into not treating their women worse than most people in America treat their pets.

  I think I might have overused the word "Fuck" or other variation in this post. What do you think, did I over-fuck-afy things or is it justified?
