Karen Hughes is a fucking moron.

UNDER SECRETARY HUGHES: I haven’t really heard a lot of that. I had one person at one lunch raise the issue of the President mentioning God in his speeches. And I asked whether he was aware that previous American presidents have also cited God, and that our Constitution cites “one nation under God.” He said “well, never mind” and went on to something else. So he sort of was trying to equate that with the terrorists’ (inaudible). So I explained that I didn’t really think that was something you could equate. And he sort of dropped it and moved on. He was one of the opposition leaders in Egypt.

The constitution doesn't mention the word "God" anywhere at all. Not once.

This not only the most corrupt and immoral administration ever, it's the stupidest as well. When you give everything over to partisan gain, what else is going to happen?

Whenever these creeps bring up the Constitution, I always think of Bush violating it in his drive to privatize (read: Destroy) Social Security. Specifically this part:

Amendment XIV, Section 4.: The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Bush of course yammered and yelled about how the Social Security trust fund was "nothing but a file cabinet full of IOU's". Those "IOU's", of course, being fucking U.S. Guaranteed public fucking debt, the fucking motor that runs half the fucking world's economy. But whatever. This president violated the tenets of the Constitution in clear, unvarnished tones, meaning to score cheap points in a dog-and-pony show. Whatever. A democrat probably would have done the same shit.

But you know what? A democrat would have done something that you'd have to think to figure out. He or she would do something devious and richly detailed. For Bush, and his cronies like Karen Hughes (former speechwriter, by the way), its just crass money grubbing for the already fabulously wealthy.

That's their game. I mean, think about it...if you had to pick between being good for poor people, who would give you shit all the time, and being evil for entirely fucking wealthy people, who would give you free stuff all the time, what would YOU pick? Of course, all of this is relying on there being no god, which I think we all know the answer to.

Anyways, it's Friday. I hope I catch some lobster tonight. You know why? I wanna eat lobster. I like it. I don't like paying 50 semolians at the restaurant for lobsters though. So lets all say a quiet little prayer to the Lobster God for his beneficience. May he rest his kindly barnacle-encrusted razor-sharp claw upon our supplicating brow and deliver unto us the flesh of his children. Amen.
