A Different Set of Principles for Every Situation
Bush - A hypocrite?
It seems that this administration does in fact have a different set of principles and policies for every situation. One moment, they are life-loving Christians who are against abortion and 'pulling the plug'. The next moment, they're pushing to kill every 'possible terrorist', bomb countries that are really no threat to us, and are for 'pulling the plug'.
I guess what it all comes down to is to hope you are never in a situation where Bush may have the opportunity to decide if you live or die (ie: don't join the military, don't live in any country but the US, don't wind up in a coma, don't be conceived, etc), because you have a 50/50 chance of living and dying; depends on his mood.

Did you give lots of money to Matt Blunt? Well, then ring him up, he's got a government job for you. That appears to be the big qualifier under Missouri's new government. Blunt's latest is a group appointed to reorganize MO's government; most of the appointees are big contributors (or at least big businessmen). Guess how they're going to reorganize our government (Hint: it will benefit Republicans and big businesses; bonus points if you're both!)

Alright, so now we have a Missouri State University. Big frickin' deal. What I can't believe is that this is what our lawmakers spend all of their time concerning themselves with...name changes. This has been a long-running issue, and probably the one to get the most press over the last few years. Below this post, I have written about Matt Blunt firing people from state jobs because they aren't Republican, despite the fact they do their job better than anyone who's been in the position before. That isn't bigger news than a fucking university name change? You know the other thing these lawmakers have been focused on??? Yes, naming-related issues! In the last six months to a year, at least two bills have been introduced trying to name something (specifically, a day and a bridge) after Ronald Reagan. What role he played specifically with Missouri that requires a state holiday in his name, I don't know.
Perhaps someday they will start focusing on those poverty-stricken without healthcare and stop focusing on whether it should be Missouri State University or Southwest Missouri State University...
