What's 'Screech'?

Screech: How does one explain . . . . Brief history here. However, that doesn't QUITE give the complete picture. Let me put it like this: If you ever need paint stripper, it'll do. Molotov cocktail? No problem. Car outta gas? Hey, we got the solution.

Hey! Canada's big, too...and so is India. I wonder if he can find them on a map!

I saw the video of Bush trying to rub Angela Merkel's shoulders about 27 times last night...10-15 over & over on two different programs.


WHAT DOES THE IDIOT THINK HE IS DOING! Or does he think? Add to this the other gaffés, and he is really a loose cannon.
I am so embarrassed to BE American right now, I can't express it. It doesn't matter that *I* didn't vote for him, the point is, 50% of the voters did, and I can't believe they did it twice.

Send me some of that hootch, Peace...I need anaesthesia.

Send it this way too. We need insulation.

Where, oh, where are the bush's apologists? Maybe they can make us feel better. Or at least pay for the hootch.

Philistine! Varlet! Calling Screech 'hooch'. At dawn, sir. Ten paces. BUT, if we drink any Screech prior to that, we may have to crawl all ten of those paces. Absolute worst hangover I ever had was caused by Screech. Fortunately, it was so bad I can't remember it.

There was a video of the backrub here. It doesn't seem to want to show itself now, but might be back.

My connections's too slow to waste the time to download it to run, so I didn't test the connection a couple of days ago when I passed by.

Some frames from the video are at SF Chronicle. Click the inset picture to get all the frame strip.

No, ya don't. They keep 'em on ranches. They are very gregarious; but sometimes they like to be alone. They are capable of disguising themselves. VERY clever disguises. Can you tell which are the real mangoes? I though !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, heck, you all don't need to go shoppin' for folks who think Bush is both and idiot and a drunk when you have the resident "Bush-basher-an'-commie" right here in Mudville...

Like, how many times have I brought up my suspisions about Bush being a "practicing alcoholic"... Prezels, my butt... The boy was drunk, drunk, drunk...

And while we are on stupidity, like how friggin' stupid do you have to be to think that 300,000,000 folks is gonna belive that you cracked yer dumbass head open from eatin' friggin' pretzels??? Man, that ougttta be "Exhibit A" in George's dumbass trial... Maybe the Surgeon General ougtta print a warnion' on them bags of pretzels that says "Caution: these friggin' pretezels may make you fall down and crack yer dumbass head open"...

Yeah, the drunk has gotten the country into, not one, but two utterly unwinnable wars and now is more concerned about BBQ than what is occurin' in the Middle East???... "Exhibit B"...

But this goes beyond just mere stupidity... Hey, stupid people make stupid decisions but when you look at Bush's stupid decisions there's one constant and that is that behind the thought out ones the average American Joe gets screwed... It don't matter if it's some kid from Arkansas gettin' blown up in one of George's unwinable and stupid wars or Halliburten stealin' my tax bucks... Some one's gettin' screwed over and it's those decisions that worry me more than wheteher thwe drunk sticks his hands down the blouse of the German chancellor, or whatever she is...

Yeah, those are just "Exhibits A, B, C 'er Z" in provin' that drunk-frat-boy ain't got a clue...

It's the thought out stuff that worries me a lot more 'cause when he thinks, or tries to think stuff out, Joe America ends up hurt...

That bugs me more than his stupidity becuase these "supposed-thought-out" things are outta of his hands... Cheney and his inner circle are the ones pulling them levers and that tells me one think: Stupid ain't a good trait for presidents 'cause stupid presidents can't do much more than what the fat cats who bought them their time in the White House want them to do...

And that is George "the stupid"... Too friggin' dumb than to not put his hands on a woman head of state and too stupid to to fend off Boss Hog...

Now that's a bad combination of stupidness...

Bush may not be an active alcoholic but even so, he is a recovering alcoholic. AA teaches you how to let go of 'stinky thinking' so I'd say he needs to go back for a refresher.

" George W. Bush is a good man, word has it. He's plain-spoken, they say. A regular fella. A good guy to have a beer with, except he supposedly doesn't drink anymore.

    I wish, more than anything, that he were drinking. I wish he were drinking all the time. I wish, oh how I wish, that he were stand-up-fall-down-ralphing-down-his-shirt loaded every minute of every day. It would be a comfort, simply because it would explain a great many things. Having a drunk for a president is, after all, a fixable situation. Put him to bed at Camp David for a few weeks and surround him with Secret Service agents. Let his body clean itself out. Problem solved, and really, would anyone actually notice his absence?

    I don't believe Bush has gotten off the sauce, if truth be told. I know more than a few boozers who, like George, periodically show up with odd wounds on their faces they got from falling over or running into walls. The injuries that appear on George's mien from time to time can perhaps be explained away - maybe Dick Cheney is stalking the halls with a shotgun loaded with rock salt and blasting anyone, even the boss, who gets in his way - but if "George still drinks" were up on the big board at the MGM Grand sports book, I'd take the bet no matter what the oddsmakers had to say.

    Having a drunk for a president is manageable. Having a stone bozo for a president, on the other hand, is a calamity of global proportions."

"By Roy Morris, Jr.

March 8, 1864, was a wet, blustery Tuesday in Washington, D.C. Despite the bad weather, an unusually large crowd had gathered at the White House that evening for one of President and Mrs. Lincoln's regular receptions. The reason for the increased turnout was not hard to guess: Major General Ulysses S. Grant was rumored to be in town for a high-level meeting with the president. At that meeting, Grant, the increasingly idolized victor of Fort Donelson, Vicksburg and Chattanooga, was expected to receive his much-anticipated promotion to lieutenant general--the first man to hold such an exalted rank in the United States Army since George Washington, nine decades earlier.

No one was more eager to meet the Illinois general than Abraham Lincoln. In the face of near-constant defeats on the eastern front of the war, Grant had been a consistent beacon of good news--and good generalship--in the West. While other, more dashing generals--George McClellan, John Pope, Ambrose Burnside and "Fighting Joe" Hooker--had been tried and found wanting on the Virginia battlefields, the initially unknown Grant had quietly gone about the task of carving up large sections of the western Confederacy. Rumors of occasional binge drinking by Grant had floated back to Lincoln, but the hard-pressed chief executive had shown a patience for his fellow Illinoisan that he had not always demonstrated with the closer-at-hand eastern generals. "I can't spare this man; he fights," was how Lincoln put it, joking that perhaps he should find out what brand of whiskey Grant drank and send a case to the rest of his generals to stiffen their resolve."

Thing is, if Bush goes on a toot (bender), will he, like Nixon, talk to past Presidents' portraits or will he pick up the phone and call world leaders and get them pissed off? Will he call God on the direct line and get Him pissed off? Stay tuned . . . .

"Don't let the stars get in your eyes"

Don't let the stars get in your eyes if you've got water on the brain
Don't light the flame
Or you'll be to blame
The spark of love may take your breath
The water starts to streamin'
Your ears will start to steamin'
And you'll perkulate yourself to death

Too many fights
Too many scars
Too many knots upon my head
Love was in bloom
Then she lowered the boom
And now I wish that I was dead
She's got me educated
My eyes are granulated
Cause she hit me with the sugar bowl

Her teeth were like the stars above because they come out every nite
Her hair so fair
She layed it on a chair
Because I see'd it layin' there
I cocked an eye at her
She cocked an eye at me
And we just sit there cockeyed as could be

Don't let the stars get in
your
eyeball
sockets!
