"A Contrite Christmas" or "All I Want For Christmas Is Democracy"

Recently a number of you have been offended by the noxiousness of my Bush-bashing attitudes. Hey! After all, you say, isn't it enough being saddled with this beleaguered, lame-duck presidency? Do we need to be subjected to more character assassination by liberal pinkos like you? Well... To these accusations I tender an adamant reply. Yes, we do!

We are not finished making fun of our cartoon president. I swear I have seen his likes before on Adult Swim. Sometimes I even get confused between the SNL sketches and the real man. Perhaps we can all agree that Bush is a genuine man, but he is also a genuine Pudd'nhead. He is the frontman distracting us from the neocon machinations of "Darth" Cheney, "Baron von" Rove and "Admiral" Rumsfeld. There simply aren't enough nasty epithets we can give these fellows.

It is only now we're beginning to realize the extent of corruption in our nation's executive office. Ideology has been the consistent driving force of our federal government for the last eight years. From the "War" on terror to the lack of response during Katrina to the motivations behind our Iraqi war; it is clear, democracy is not being served.

We sat quietly as the Bush cartel literally stole our votes in 2000. Perhaps you'd forgotten, but he won the election by 527 votes in the state run by his brother! That isn't a statistical anomaly folks, it's fraud.

We snored obliviously while statesmen from third world nations mocked our democratic institutions as the laughingstock of the globe. As citizens we have completely dropped the ball. The point is it's not enough to vote. More people need to be angry about this stuff or it will happen again.

The neocons currently in office are the robber barons of the 21st century. It may be a sick, trendy clich
