Under 30

I can't complain but sometimes I still do

Jesus, can we get rid of this guy already?

From The Washington Times:

President Bush yesterday yelled himself hoarse in his first public political rally of the 2006 election campaign, whipping thousands of supporters into chants of "USA!" as he criticized Democrats for being weak on national security and anxious to increase taxes.

Swooping into a Republican stronghold that on Election Day will be an early harbinger of whether Republicans hold control of Congress, Mr. Bush led the crowd in a chant that gave new meaning to an old Reagan-era slogan.

"The Democrats in Washington follow a simple philosophy: Just say no," the president said.

"When it comes to listening in on the terrorists, what's the Democratic answer? Just say no. When it comes to detaining terrorists, what's the Democrat answer?" Mr. Bush asked.

"Just say no!" the crowd shouted.

"So when the Democrats ask for your vote on Nov. 7, what are you going to say?"

"Just say no!" the audience replied.


You know how country bands today are basically doing what arena rock bands did 20 years ago? Appparently the same is true for politicians who appeal to people who like today's country bands. In addition, when we throw the Republicans out of the power seat in Congress next week, can we make it a law that chanting "U! S! A!" is a a crime punishable by death? I'm the biggest America lover around, but people who chant "U! S! A!" unironically almost always are (1) retarded or (2) assholes. Am I wrong?

Mr. Hyden,

I need your prediction and personal pick for Vh1's "Greatest Songs of the 80's" countdown playing each day this week. And no, "Sussudio" isn't the correct answer for either.
