Bush touts ‘fuel of future’
OIL ‘ADDICTION’ HIGHLIGHTED DURING SACRAMENTO VISIT
By Steven HarmonWEST SACRAMENTO – President Bush declared hydrogen the “fuel of the future” Saturday and the long-term answer to America’s dependency on Mideast oil that threatens national security and drives up gas prices.
“We’ve got real problems with oil: We’re addicted,” Bush said during an Earth Day speech at the California Fuel Cell Partnership that echoed his State of the Union address this year. “It’s harmful to our economy and harmful to our national security. I’m here to honor folks here who are employing technology, using good ideas that will change the face of America.” (Story.)
In other news, LeBron James speaks out against the evils of basketball and Bill Gates says computers are destroying American business.
[sigh] As I’ve noted before, they’ve stopped pretending. Our misleaders think up the most appalling, bald-faced, outrageously hypocritical lies they can think of – really, what’s the exact opposite of the truth? – and they say it. And you, by god, believe it unless you hate freedom. Lather, rinse, repeat.
All of which makes clear this truth: the single greatest requirement to be a political leader at this moment in time is the ability to keep a straight face.
Fine. It’s time I started ‘fessing up to what I really believe.
- Education is a waste of money.
- I love the Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Red Wings, U of Nebraska football, Terrell Owens, Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove.
- I have always disliked spending time with smart women, especially if they were also attractive.
- What American culture needs is more Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson. A lot more.
Oh, and God Bless the Houses of Bush and Saud.
Now Reading: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, by John Perkins.

Life is beautiful…. You gotta lighten up and smell the roses. We can’t control the world situation, politics, news, war, or pop culture. Endless worrying will just ruin your life, and it’s just not worth it.
Take care, my friend.
Aloha,
Jeff

I’m trying, man, I’m trying. The problem I have is that smelling the roses means a disengagement from things that, in general, tend to kill the roses. There’s a balance in there I haven’t found yet.

I’d tell you not to pull out your hair, but…
No really, after spending the weekend at an altanative media fair, I think the future might hold some promise. I met some very talented people doing some interesting things in the way of media and politics.
By the way, It’s about time you read that book. Tell me what you think when you’re done. Don’t let it disturb your sleep(insert evil laugh here).

The book was going to read from the instant you mentioned it. But I didn’t find it the first time I went looking, and got set back a bit.
Good rec, though.

There are many, many things going on that I’m not really pleased with. The things that kill the roses are going to do their job no matter what you do. To combat the helpless feeling that I sometimes get, I immerse myself in the United Way, different Masonic Charities, and keeping my immediate neighborhood safeand nice. I focus on my lovely wife, my son, and trying to accumulate the best art collectioon I possibly can. This sure beats hand wringing over stuff I have absolutely no control over.

it makes you think we ought to have a “Bush” day … where everyone ignores their shortcomings and professes to a kinder, gentler antithesis of themselves. Oh, and they should spend more time offering unrealistic and obvious solutions.
I’ll follow your lead: video games are bad for productivity, bad for social development, and bad for the entertainment industry. Kids should eat an apple a day and exercise more. Duh.

When I’m king of the world I’ll have more control. You’ll be the minister of surfing and art collection….

Ooh, Bush Day. I like it.

Ahhh, a benevolent despot.
I’d like those jobs.

I don’t recall promising to be benevolent.
