Well, well, well

Oilman Bush signed into law today an "Energy Policy" that leaves no fat cat leave unrewarded... It is so loaded with pork that it took a fork lift to deliver... I mean it is absolutely drippin' with pork... And guess which state got the most????

Hey, I thought Bush wanted folks to sacrifice during his little Vietnam war he has goin' in Iraq... No sacrifice by the corporate fat cats who will need fork lifts thems selves to carry the bags of hard earned working class tax bucks to their bank... No sacrifice for the big Bush campaingn donors... No sacrifice fir the SUV'ers.... Or Big Oil... Or Big Gas...

And guess who gets to pay for this party... Yeah, you and me and with money borrowed from China and Europe by a guy who has succeeeded in anything in his life, other than wreckin' companies, gettin' drunk and stuff like that...

Purdy disgustin' and guess what... Lotta plain ol' country folk, like the guy down the holler who has a repair shop, are startin' to see thru this robbery...

Read it and weep:

"Bush Vows To Eliminate US Dependency On Oil By The Year 4920

WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush unveiled an aggressive initiative Monday that would make the U.S. free of petroleum dependence by the year 4920, less than three millennia from now.

Our mission is clear," Bush said in a speech delivered at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. "We must free ourselves from dependence on fossil fuels within 85 generations. A cleaner, safer America is my vision. And it is our great, great—great-times-80 grandchildren who will realize that vision."

Bush promised a legislative package that would mandate severe cuts in oil-production subsidies and provide new funding for alternative-energy research and development. According to the timetable he presented, these bills could be introduced as early as 3219, and U.S. energy consumers could start to see radical changes by the early 42nd century.

"If we don't end our dependence on oil by 4920, when will we end it? 5580? By then, it may be too late," Bush said.

Bush called on both Democrats and Republicans living 1,200 years from now to work together to pass the program.

"It would be a shame if, by the 33rd century, these bills were still tied up in committee. I urge the 712th Congress to pass this legislation with minimal partisan gridlock," Bush said.

The president's science advisor, John Marburger, provided more details of the energy plan in a press release issued late Monday.

"It is the president's hope that hydrogen fuel cells, nanotechnology, or the recycling of human beings into fuel will hold the key," Marburger wrote. "Whatever the people of the 50th century feel is appropriate."

             it really is the plan...They gotta have a plan, right?
             Well, given Iraq, maybe not.]

Thanks for reminding us of The Onion, Azizi. Not only is truth stranger than fiction ~ surrealistic topical fiction is sometimes truer than the news!

Is the intent of this thread to continue as a parody or may one interject a serious thought or two?

By all means, please add your serious comment.

The Onion piece, while humorous enough, is serious in its intent, in the time-honored tradition of political satire.
