Reconsidering All Things - Blog Edition
White Lies
Thing: From President Bush's speech last night - "The terrorists who attacked us -- and the terrorists we face -- murder in the name of a totalitarian ideology that hates freedom, rejects tolerance and despises all dissent. Their aim is to remake the Middle East in their own grim image of tyranny and oppression, by toppling governments, driving us out of the region and exporting terror."
Reconsideration: (Italics mine) - "The terrorists who attacked us (Osama bin Laden & al Qaeda) -- and the terrorists we face (the National Security Strategy of the United States)-- murder in the name of a totalitarian ideology that hates freedom (the Patriot Act), rejects tolerance (gay marriage or civil rights)and despises all dissent (Joesph Wilson, RNC convention arrests, closed Bush political rallies, Patriot Act II, Dick Durbin, etc. - look 'em up yourself!). Their aim is to remake the Middle East in their own grim image (Christianity) of tyranny and oppression (Iraqis' lack of water and power - "No country in the region has more business-generating potential than Iraq"), by toppling governments (Saddam Hussein, Aristide), driving us out of the region and exporting terror."

The Webb Wing
Aide: President Webb, the Supreme Court just ruled that Federal drug laws trump state laws and it can't be used for medicinal purposes anymore. How should we respond?
President Webb: Well if I hadn't made that pledge not to smoke dope while I was prez, I'd say let's light up. Fucking Supremes. But who are the idiots that brought this suit anyway? The last time I tried to get some grass - which was a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago - it was pretty easy to get. It's not like you really need a prescription.
Aide: Yes Mr. President, but these folks get higher quality pot at a fair price.
President Webb: Right. And remind me, what's wrong with being high?
Aide: Nothing sir.
President Webb: Good answer. Nothing at all. And it smells so good. And the taste....I mean, I digress. Let's make a get the government off of peoples' back argument. Tell them that people should be free to abide by their doctors recommendations, so if the doc says you gots to get high, you should be able to get high. I'd like to say this is just another reason why we need to legalize it mon, but we don't need a black President freakin' America out by calling for legalized drugs.
Aide: Yes sir.
President Webb: And call Willie Nelson. Tell him I need to meet him on top of the White House tonight.
