American Idiots

The mushroom treatment

This entry was posted in George Bush Salon on by

I was going to title this The most powerful moron in the world, but people get offended by that sort of thing. Their delicate sensibilities are also upset when I say that Bush is a liar. So I won’t do that either. I’ll pretend that Wubble U is getting the mushroom treatment- being kept in the dark and fed bullshit. How else, if the first two assertions aren’t true, can he go on claiming that UN weapons inspectors didn’t go into Iraq well before the invasion?

Bush first made the claim in a press conference last year with Kofi Annan, of all people, right beside him. I had a rant about it at the time. Now he’s gone and made the claim again, this time during a press conference with the Polish prime minister.

I get a few American visitors. Please tell me if your country’s notoriously liberal media, beyond Salon and the original piece in the Washington Post reported it, or were they too busy harping on about a Democrat hopeful’s post defeat yodel? If not then you should spread the word, because if he’s on record misleading you about something so easily proved then just imagine what he’s making up about the secret stuff.

Yup, it’s the third anniversary of the Spinneyhead blog. The domain is nearly four years old, but I spent the first year testing various formats before finally discovering blogs and realising this was the best way for me to keep updating the front page regularly (seeing as I have such a bad head for deadlines, especially self imposed ones).

The first day was all about me swearing at the settings because I couldn’t get them to work properly. Setting the tone for the past three years, the first proper entry was all about Wubble U and the second was just silly. (Sadly, the God Created Frizington site is no more. *Puts hand on heart and stares meaningfully at the ground in mourning*) I don’t have saved versions of the many awful layouts the blog has gone through to reach its current state of okay-ness. Which is probably a good thing.

Homeland Insecurity

As ever, it’s a joy to find someone else who has eloquently explained why I no longer want to visit America. I actually put in someone’s comments this morning that I’d go back to America when it was a great country again, hopefully some time next year because if Bush gets in for another term there may not be anything left to rescue.

In with the new

Warren Ellis has opened up Die Puny Humans for contributors to outline their wishes and predictions for 2004 (start here and work up and down). I like this idea, so-

‘Former President Bush’ Now I’ll probably get comments asking why a foreigner should care, or dare to comment, about the political situation in the old US of A. Well, the answer is quite simple. What goes on in America impacts, for good or ill, on the rest of us. And with our dear Prime Mimicker trying to following religiously in the chimp’s cloven hoof prints we Brits are the logical second choice for any Al Quaeda clone looking for a target. So for this reason, and all the treaty busting (Do as we say, not as we do), the removal of George junior can only serve to make us all safer. Of course, unless he’s deposed by the Dean/ Clark dream ticket then we’ve just got Republicans by another name in power and the fuzzy warm glow will only last into the middle of 2005.

Thirtysomething With more of my beer group (it’s a bit like a peer group, only we spend too much time in the pub) entering their fourth decade I don’t get to feel so old. It’s not going to stop me running around after 20 year olds though.

Cash flow I’m putting everything into place. I have content and merchandise, payment systems and great plans. What I really need is a big boost to the Spinneyhead brand’s profile. And a part time job that pays well.

Ulcer-be-gone The little bastard really has to heal up and go away.

The End I’ve started a load of projects and I really ought to finish a few of them.

Sex Bachelorhood’s boring, but I’m too shy and crap at the old chatting up thing to have done anything about it. I’m lovely once you get to know me (anyone wishing to endorse me on that please leave praise in the comments).

I’m sure I’ll think of some more. Any other Spinneyheads please add your lists, everyone else feel free to stick stuff in the comments.

Blame

Despite many an obstacle, an investigation into the September 11th attacks has concluded that they could have been avoided. No real surprise there. What is interesting is the list of people to be called to testify before the public part of the inquiry-

top officials in the FBI, CIA, Defense Department, National Security Agency and, maybe, President Bush and former President Clinton.

No doubt the two Prez’s, or their advisers, will take the opportunity to score points off each other. At least when Dubya says he knew nothing it’ll be convincing.

Exchange

I’ll say this for Wubble U, the plummeting dollar (�1=$1.77 when I last checked) means it’s a great time for Brits to buy from the States. At that rate the Must Not Mention Sheep T Shirt is only �8.48. Buy it now folks, you know it makes sense. I’ll transfer the money to Britain when Bush gets kicked out and the dollar rebounds.

The return of incompetence watch

Yes, BT is being crap again. After having a manager chase up my problems last week and get a definite date (today) when broadband would be cut off and I could re-order, I phoned today all excited about getting the process started. And was told I’d have to wait until Friday. In fact, it might be better if I held on until next week. You know, just in case.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I’m back in EasyInternet, trying to drown out the smell of stale sweat with Earl Grey and accessing the one email account I have that is web accessible (spinneyhead[at]yahoo[dot]com if you’re interested). Until now I was all for blaming NatWest and NatWest alone for this disaster, but now I am also pissed off at BT. They’re okay so long as you’re connected, but their house move/ re-order system seems designed to lose them customers.

Eid was yesterday. That’s the last time I trust a calendar I find on the Internet. Next time I’ll just ask someone. I think I’ll break open some of the Stella I’ve been squirelling away from pub quiz winnings and celebrate Thanksgiving. I was going to launch a Dubya effigy on a rocket, but once again this plan has been put back (from July the 4th to Labo[u]r Day to Thanksgiving to…. I don’t know, some time after I get broadband back when I can persuade a few people with video cameras to record it.)

All Hail to the Thief

Wubble U is coming to Britain next week, and Tony wants us all to pretend that we actually like the moron (I was tempted to use Brian’s favourite new word, fucktard, there, but that would have been cheapening it.) I can’t make it to demonstrate in London, but I’ll be going along to the Manchester demo the day before.

There are already ample plans to protest Bush’s PR visit to the UK next week. Michael Moore is all for us booing Bush.

in Britain, [..] Stupid White Men was this year the most popular book after Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and the highway code.

The Highway Code? I see the standard of drivers on our roads, and no way are that many people reading the Highway Code.
