We Are The World Can't Wait

OK, so the "Drive Out the Bush Regime" signs have gone up around town (and, sadly, on my street), so I thought I'd slip into some old clothes and rubber gloves and have a look at the website behind the signs, worldcantwait.org.

The disclaimer "Best viewed in any browser except Microsoft Internet Explorer" warmed my albeit tiny conservative heart, but the "about us" link revealed the usual, except for this pearl from founder Joe Tougas:

I was born and grew up in Vermont. I was in the Navy from 1990-1994 as a deep sea diver. Bush Sr. declared war on Iraq on my third day of bootcamp. I was told I was going to fight and die for oil, but the war was over by the time I got through all my diver training.

Yes, he was told (by whom, we don't know) that he was going to fight and die for oil...'cause God knows that it was the DEEP SEA DIVERS who were instrumental in driving Saddam's army from the Kuwaiti desert.

Who else is there? Lessee...Debra Sweet was 19 when she told off President Nixon, and Mark James tells us he "came of age during the Vietnam war" and in this new movement he has "recaptured my youthful yearnings for a better world." No way! Are you telling me that a large part of the "antiwar" movement is aging hippies trying to relive their college days? And the other part is pampered college kids trying to make themselves seem relevant by latching on to aging hippies?

Frankly, I don't think this crew will have any problem "driving out" the Bush regime, by, say, January 2009. I know the world can't wait, but seeing as the world is about 4 and a half billion years old, couldn't out next demonstration be of, say, a little patience? You protest monkeys were pretty damn quiet last administration.

Yeah we were quiet but not anymore.
Look around you, on Wednesday, Nov. 2nd and you will see Americans who have Awakened to see the Bush Crime Family for what they are. Drive out the Bush Regime!!
Just because it wasn't done earlier doesn't make it wrong. Better Late than Never. Save the shreds and tatters of our country, and salvage what we can.
I support the BTTM... Back To Texas Movement...for GWS...George W. Shrub.
Bush didn't even win the election..he was appointed by the courts, and now look at the mess we have.
