lemme tug on your coat a second...

life is filled with uncertainties... fraught with danger, etc... there are, however, a few universal truths:

1. shakespeare's plays were actually written by christopher marlowe (screw you, ian).
2. republicans eat their own.
3. texans shouldn't be presidents.

inre #3, to wit:

there have been four "texan" presidents, whether born there or politcally established from: Eisenhower, Johnson, Bush the Elder and the dreaded Son of Bush.

Ike got us out of Korea... this was obviously a good thing and there was much rejoicing at his determined american leadership, etc. etc.... he was considered a great american president upon his departure from the office... of course, he also turned a blind eye to McCarthyism and the evils it perpetrated, as well as promoting hatred of western ideas in the middle east with his "Eisenhower Doctrine"... no one's perfect, you might say...

Johnson was the first president to commit troops to Vietnam... also stirred things up in the middle east by allowing israel a free hand in the region... 'nuff said about that...

Bush ruined what economy was left after Reagan got ahold of it and started a war in the middle east... granted, other than these two items, he was about as exciting as a wicker chair, but hey, war is war, right?

and then we come to the present-day Bush... TWO middle eastern wars... millions of jobs lost... LITERALLY countless accounts of scandal, corruption, avarice... well, let's just say his bloodlust, impropriety and greed are well documented and leave it at that.

four men. four TEXAS men. and they all seem obsessed with fucking with arabs.

makes me wish santa ana had won at san jacinto.
