I think they know Bush is going to fuck them. But hey, he's their guy and he's up front about who he is. Even if your guy fucks you over sometimes, at the end of the day he's your guy and not some wannabe poser.
I also don't believe that all redstaters are stupid. However, people who think the way you just described ARE stupid.
Yeah, a boarding school is great. When my Dad sent me to a "semi-military" one for senior year in high school as a punishment I met a bunch of bored rich kids who had easy access to drugs. Hello tobacco, hello marijuana, hello acid, hello cocaine. I learned how to march while hallucinating on LSD! And it was pretty fun for the following decade or so until I realized that I wasn't genetically predisposed to addiction and didn't really want to follow my friends to smack grad school and a subsequent career as a junky. So, not having spoken to my Dad in years, I quit all drugs cold turkey.Then I started my life over.
And it only cost him about 10K. Thanks Dad!
Maybe parents should try taking care of their children instead of sending them off to live with strangers.
Drudge, Matt. FOD* and egg fetishist who's done great damage to his gay brothers and sisters by aiding the cause of fascists, intolerant orthodox Christians, and conservative scum. Ethically challenged hypocritical lackey and moral catamite to right-wingers. We remember you from the old days, Matt-o, and when you fall back to obscurity we'll be waiting with sharpened knives.
*FOD= Friend of Dorothy (homosexual)
heh.
Strangely compelling read, I'm ashamed to admit. However, if 10 people were to meet me in a week in various circumstances, I imagine my personality rating would be all over the place, just as it is for many of the celebs on that list. What I mean is that people have good and bad days and one bad tip or short comment with a waiter does not an asshole make (or vice versa, naturally). Context!
Kwonsar, are you being silly or do you really characterize Jaques Chiraq's government as "liberal"? The guy is as right wing as they come. Corrupt? What is your proof that the German and French governments are corrupt? Are there any ongoing criminal investigations against them? You know like the Valerie Plame affair, the Enron scandal or etc.?
