What, Bush again?

So yea, it's been a while. Pretty uneventful summer so far. Still looking for work, still not finding it. So I'm watching TV and I happen across this look back at 9/11 thing. And I'm watching ex-president bush tell his side of the story. What he was doing in those first few hours. Why he reacted the way he did. And the man is a horrible actor, so I'm not buying a word of it. An even worse actor than daniel craig in the last two 007 movies. Now I say daniel craig is gay because he acts like it in the 007 movies, so either he's a gay man who can't act worth a bean, or a straight guy acting like 007 is actually flamingly gay. And since, in the movies, he's supposed to care deeply about some of his female co-stars, being gay does not support the 007 role, so I must assume the actor is gay and just is a horrible actor. But Ex-President Bush, he's worse. Now it's not that I am a conspiracy theorist, or that I think kennedy was assassinated by aliens, and than the moon landing was done on a sound stage in hoboken or something, but I HAVE seen a lot of movies. I can tell by now when there's bad acting and good acting going on. If I beleive you, you're either telling the truth, or you're a good actor. if I don't believe you, you are most likely lying. Now i'm not 100 percent convinced of my own infallability on this. But when the man contradicts himself about something he said a few moments previous, well then, what am i supposed to believe? Either he was lying when he said the first thing, or he was lying when he said the second thing, because I am out of the equation at that point. Basically, what he said was, in the first few hours after the 9/11 attacks, he went directly to Air Force One after leaving the school where he got the news. Well, first after getting the news, he sat there like a statue for several moments. Then, according to him, he went into another room, and crafted a news release to read off to the parents and kids waiting in another part of the school, supposedly to let the public know that he was calm in this crisis. So after letting them know there was a crisis (which i am sure they would have guessed if he had simply sped off to handle it like any sane human being), he went to air force one, where there were, according to him, communication issues with the ground. So he had to watch the news unfold on TV like everyone else, although he was able to ground all other planes besides his own. So after merely two hours, during which time he has no idea who is behind the attacks, and after trying to find out what's going on, they decide to land Air Force One to go ahead and get better intel from the ground. So, now this is directly according to what Ex-President Bush said, they landed the plane and bush got into a jeep and the driver was speeding down the tarmac at like 100 miles per hour, and Bush says to the driver... "Slow down, son, Al-Qaeda isn't here." Okay. So how does Bush know the attacks were supposedly carried out by Al-Qaeda when nobody else in the world does at this point? When nobody has any idea what planes crashed, who was on them, who piloted them, what the names of the pilots were, who paid for their training, or any possible link to Al-Qaeda at that point? So either he was blaming Al-Qaeda before he had any of the facts, or he was lying about what he said to the driver of the jeep, since he himself said they were landing to try to find out what was going on. Either way, the man is a complete moron. You'd think he'd have someone check over his story for glaring errors of this nature before going on TV to tell his side of the story, and then totally contradict himself. Now sure, you could say something like "Oh, he was the president of the free world, maybe, despite claiming there were communications problems on the plane, he managed, in the space of two hours, to track down all the relevent information from the various newcasts he was watching and piece together that it was an al-qaeda plot, and then tried to reassure the driver of the jeep, that an otherwise mostly unheard of terrorist organization wasn't actually present on the tarmac where the jeep driver was going a little too fast?" Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Before 9/11, I am pretty sure most americans had never heard of Al-Qaeda. Most of us still can't spell the name of the organisation right, let alone were familiar with them before that. And that was ten years ago, when they were even LESS well-known. So if all that is true, why tell a completely random jeep driver that some random terrorist organization that he'd never heard of before, wasn't there? Simple Answer: Ex-Pres Bush is full of shit. Which just scares me. If an idiot can not only be elected president, commit war crimes against innocent people, but lie about it with impunity while contradicting his own story on national television, and not be shot in front of a firing squad for it, and the American people can just go "Meh." and go on about their day... then whatever they are putting in the coffee must be working. Wtf. I don't know what else to say about this level of bullshit other than... Stop drinking the goddamn coffee before they do it again, people.

Happy Halloween!

And OHMRAT 2023 ends just as it began.  With a quiet whimper.  Sadly, I had no time this month.  Too busy trying to stay alive.  But, I did ...
