Our fearless leader, George Bush and his vice president had the brilliant - or as someone has written before, "stupefyingly incompetent" - idea to put our Social Security retirement money into the stock market. Brilliant!

Now oil, gas, energy out of control; food, the basic staff of life, prices going crazy; and guess what? We're going to start raising interest rates. Wow. It sure will be easier now to get and be able to afford a mortgage, won't it?

Of course, the brilliant invasion of Iraq, the one they call Iraqi Freedom, was, almost, the most stupefyingly incompetent idiocy of them all.

I didn't give Dennis Kucinich or Sen. Feingold much thought on their attempts to impeach Bush and Cheney when they first brought their bills up.

I sure wish we had followed through with them against the most incredibly stupid, selfish and criminal presidential thugs our country has ever known.

There are all kinds of natural disasters - earthquakes, floods, hurricanes. So what kind of disaster do we call this administration?
