"Winners never lose and ...

losers never win." That's one of the lines from a song ("Let the Suns Shine In")that they (I don't sing that kind of bullshit) sang in church this morning. It struck me because we had just heard a sermon about Jesus being for the losers of his, and our, world but of course nobody really pays any attentionto a sermon. They come to church to be "Uplifted" (more bullshit) and so they sing crap that "uplifts" them. Boy George "uplifts" people (at least he used to) with his Bullshit, that's why he's president -- and somebody who is more competent and more honest than he is (that's not hard to be) isn't.





(Back to the life story of BG)

Someone once said that George Bush is not Dumb, but he is ignorant." I think that goes a long way to explain BG's journey in politics. Other's say he's just "lucky." I think other people (some he wasn't even aware of) made things happen that to other people seemed lucky.

When people started thinking about BG's future (after baseball) they decided he might just be a good front man for their political ambitions. He might have been convinced that they wanted him in politics because he was so damn smart but they knew better, what they liked about him was his name. If his name had been George Brush he'd still be screwing up oil companies, but his name was Bullshit, I mean Bush.

So they decided to pool their money, to hire the sleaziest political con men they could find, and to let them run his campaign for governor of the State of Dumbass (akaTexas). Now I lived in Texas (I was stationed there) for 10 months (I had to ship over to get transferred) so I know a little about that place.

Somebody once said that all the smart Texans live in Arkansas because that was as far away as they could get on a tank of gas. So I guess the dumb ones just wanted a governor who was as dumb as the rest of them.

Through no fault,nor any thoughts, of his won BG was elected. In reality,Karl Rove (Bush's Brain) was hired to get BG elected and he made it happen. The first thing Karl did, was send BG out to buy a "ranch" to show some easily fooled Texans that he was, after alll, just one of the 'good ol' boys.' (Now BG has probably the only ranch in Texas on which horses aren't allowed because, it turns out, BG is scared to death of horses!) Ahh, the magic of a professional hit man. BG thought it was because he'd earned it, Karl new better.

Daddy Bush had two boys running for Governor that year (1994), the so-called smart one (Jeb) lost and the dumb one won, proving Texans are even dumber than Floridians. From the beginning of his first term as Gov, Karl's (and BG's) eyes were on the presidency. Texas be damned!

More later.
