Slightly edited and re-posted from November 5, 2009. I was listening to Tavis Smiley this morning and was reminded of this earlier post. I will update with the clip from Morning Joe-Boy (or “Jughead” as Stewart calls him), if I can find a tube. Tavis rocks. I have liked him forever. And I really like Jughead. Heh.

I have a couple of important issues that I want addressed by our new President. God, after eight long years, it feels so good to call someone President again. President Barack Hussein Obama.

However, I am going to skip over my desires and speak to something I think our new President needs. Something our country needs. Something our world needs.

I am afraid my usual tubey wit is diminished. Sorry. I have been sick for five long weeks. My current and extremely annoying illness started off as a wicked cold the day before my birthday, and seems to have turned into a nasty case of pneumonia over the past couple of weeks. Bummer. Bummer, bummer, bummer. With that warning, I promise you will not catch anything reading and watching the following.

Say a little prayer for the latest casualty of the ‘lil shrub’s war on terror. I pray he gets what he deserves.

I feel like going on a rant. Just a warning, the following is an uninformed crabfest, of which I expect fully half of what I say to be incorrect. And I do not care. I am quite certain I will care later, when I must hang my head in shame for the dumbass things I am about to say. However, right now, I do not care.

First of all and probably the main reason for this sour diatribe; I have been sick for five long weeks. I have other long term health issues that are difficult to live with, but I have no other choice than to deal with them the best I am able. My current and extremely annoying illness started off as a wicked cold the day before my birthday and seems to have turned into a nasty case of pneumonia. Bummer. Bummer, bummer, bummer.

I have not had a cold for a very long time (or pneumonia ever), as the homeopathic remedy I normally use, has kept me sniffle and cough free for over six years. I ran out this last month and now must endure the unpleasant consequences. Word of advice, do not wait to start taking the medicine until you begin sleeping for days on end. This, I am told, is a very bad sign.

America to bush: Good riddance! A stunning 75% are glad he is leaving office, while only 23% say they will miss him. Surprise, surprise. More amazing bits found here in CSPAN Junkie’s tube, aptly called the “Worst President in American History”.

I am a bit worried about the bush team’s attempt to rewrite their legacy. This tube might just be the ticket.

I never noticed how pale Cheney is. Does he really sleep in a coffin?

Awwww. Mr Cheney get’s a visit from an old friend.

In his next life, Cheney should have to be a candy striper for all of the Iraqi people injured in the war. And that cannot come soon enough.
