Bush and some of his legacy

Are you sure you are not going to miss him ? LOL... Here below is a little reminder of the last past 8 years, on the humouristic note of course...

Daily Mirror, November 5th, 2004

What's in a Name?

Or I should say "what's in a code name"?
Barack Obama and his family had chosen their secret services code name this week, as they were given the first letter "R" to start with and I was curious about what were the definitions of those words. Beside my little comments about them I'll let you to judge by yourself is they fit the character of the person or not... some are very interesting in all aspects and are speaking for themselves.

So, from now on...

Barack Obama is:
Renegade: someone who rebels and becomes an outlaw or someone who breaks with established customs. A deserter from one faith, cause, or allegiance to another. An individual who rejects lawful or conventional behavior... (Not sure how it will be interpreted by his opponents and other bigots or fanatic conservatives but it is a sure bet that Obama was not thinking about the word's origins when he picked it up.... According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, Renegade's earliest meanings had to do with deserting one's religion, coming from the Spanish word 'renegado,' originally 'Christian turned Muslim.)

Michele Obama is:
Renaissance: A rebirth or revival. A revival of intellectual or artistic achievement and vigor. (Sounds like her...)

Malia Obama is:
Radiance: the quality or state of being radiant marked by or expressive of love, confidence, or happiness; brightness.

Sasha Obama is:
Rosebud: a rose which has not yet fully opened. (a literary reference to) a pretty young girl.

But what was (is) the code name of the out going first family, and the ones of McCain and Palin's family?

Georges Bush was (is): (Make your pick)
Tumbler: An acrobat or a person who performs somersaults and other acrobatic feats. (Oh yeah.. we noticed how he flipped flopped and manipulated)
Any of various domestic pigeons that tumble or somersault backward in flight or on the ground.
A drinking glass without foot or stem and originally with pointed or convex base. (particularly appropriate for a heavy drinker like him...LOL)
A piece in a gunlock that forces the hammer forward by action of the mainspring.
Also, eager to leave something better in his legacy, he decided to change his code name and went for «Trailblazer»
Trailblazer: Someone who marks a trail by leaving blazes on trees. An innovative leader in a field; a pioneer in a particular field (would this field be «ignorance» or «stupidity» maybe?)

Laura Bush is:
Tempo: rate of motion or activity. Pace. The rate of speed of a musical piece or passage indicated by one of a series of directions (as largo, presto, or allegro) and often by an exact metronome marking. (she must have been a «bolero» since she went un-noticed during 8 years...)

The two Bush's Daughter are:
Twinkle: To shine with slight, intermittent gleams, as distant lights or stars. To be bright or sparkling, as with merriment or delight
Turquoise: a mineral that is a blue, bluish-green, or greenish-gray hydrous basic phosphate of copper and aluminum, takes a high polish, and is valued as a gem when skyblue.

(I personally thought that those two girls code name were «Drunk» and «Drunker»...LOL! I don‘t know where I got that!)

John McCain was:
Phoenix: A bird in Egyptian mythology that lived in the desert for 500 years and then consumed itself by fire, later to rise renewed from its ashes. A person or thing of unsurpassed excellence or beauty; a paragon. (Oh boy! My friends... talk about having a big ego!...LOL)

Cyndi McCain was:
Parasol: A light, usually small umbrella carried as protection from the sun. (I guess «Phoenix» was so bright and so shiny that she needed one to protect herself...LOL)

Sarah Palin was: (sure she will keep the same for 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024...LOL)
Denali: a mountain in south central Alaska; the highest peak in North America. (Ego sound to be the norm too, or maybe it defines a superiority complex!)

Todd Palin was:
Driller: (should I comment or define this one?...LOL ! Does someone remember Sarah rhetoric: «drill Baby drill»?)

Dancing with the Stars....

Well.... My good friend Barbara blogged this morning about "what the hell" and I believe this one is appropriate for her blog to... Except that I would say : "What the fuck"!
Really!... Where does Sarah Palin is coming from? I don't get it... And I thought my blog was going to dies after this historic victory because I wouldn't have any topic to write about?
Sainte Sarah proved me wrong: She is now willing to take over the "First Jackass of America" tittle which is lately in the hand of "W"...LOL
But I really don't get it and she really pissed me off AGAIN with her stupid arogant comments! When will she go back home to eat some moose burger and shut the fuck up??

Sarah Palin, after hurling her rhetoric about Obama being a socialist and palling around with unrepentant terrorist, and almost making Barack one, is now saying she would be "honored to assist and support the New President and his administration"... she "would be willing to seize this opportunity" and she "think this time is full of optimism"!!!
How does she dare!
After spitting on him, now she want to dance with the Star... But, being questioned about her comments she said : "well you know the campaign is over. That chapter is closed. Now is the time to move on and make sure all of us are doing all that we can to progress this nation"
No Sarah... we don't want you to do all that you can to progress this nation! This is why the "we the people" didn't voted for your ticket and you still don't get it either!
So I guess there will more blog post to come.

Three steps ahead, two steps backward

The first vote was cast before gay marriage was legal anywhere in the nation. Eight years later, both Massachusetts and California allowed same-sex couples to wed. Whether gays should marry was now a cultural battleground. Polls showed young voters overwhelming for gay marriage. Older voters, churchgoers and African Americans tended to be strongly against.
The California Supreme Court voted 4 to 3 on May 15, 2008 that a state ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. The ruling also elevated sexual orientation to the constitutional status of race and gender, an elevation that provides strong legal protection from discrimination.Equal protection is supposed to prevent the targeting and subjugation of a minority group by a simple majority vote.
In October 2007, opponents of same-sex marriage filed an initiative with the state that was to become Proposition 8, in anticipation of the Supreme Court's May decision overturning a statutory same-sex marriage ban passed by voters eight years ago. Proposition 8 had language similar to the previous law but was a constitutional amendment, which would give the ban greater legal protection. The amendment states: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognised in California."
The magnitude here is that you are effectively rendering equal protection a nullity if a simple majority can so easily carve an exception into it.
Voters in two other states – Florida and Arizona – placed same-sex marriage bans in their constitutions Tuesday. Gay couples already were barred by statute from getting married in both states.
On November 4th 2008, America took a giant step ahead toward equality by electing Barack Obama, but on that exact same day, America took another step backward by allowing to discriminate and voting "yes" for amendments in states Constitution promoting such discrimination! It is plain wrong to write discrimination into the state Constitution
California's State Attorney General Jerry Brown, who said he supports making same-sex marriage legal, nevertheless announced yesterday that he will take Proposition 8's side in court.
Brown said he will oppose any effort to use Proposition 8 to nullify the thousands of same-sex marriages recorded since the Supreme Court ruling took effect in June.
The city attorneys of Los Angeles and San Francisco also are asking the Supreme Court to overturn the ban.

Well for the ones who do not know us very well, or for the ones who knows us but aren't aware, I have some news, and for the ones who oppose equality and promote discrimination, I have a question...

William and I committed together and married almost 12 years ago on January 15th 1997, in the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship church of Stony Brook, Long Island NY!




I would like to quote some of the sermon that night:

"We have come here this evening to celebrate the intertwining destinies of William and Philippe, who have chosen to be married.
Bill and Philippe know that love is a quality of spirit and an attitude of the emotions, but marriage is a life's work and a spiritual art form. For marriage is a going-forth, a bold step into the future. It is risking what we are for the sake of what we can be. And in the giving of oneself and sharing with another, the mysterious process of spiritual growth can take place by which the eternal in life can emerge and be known.[...]

So may this shining hour be an open door through which Bill and Philippe will go forth to build that dearest of all relationships, a happy, harmonious marriage. May the years deal gently with them; walking together may they find far more in life than either would have found alone; and even more fully may they come to know this one supreme truth -- that life is eternal and that love is its crown.[...]

As Philippe/William places the ring upon the other's finger, they repeat: "The circle is the symbol of the sun and the earth and the universe. It is the symbol of holiness and of perfection and of peace. In this ring, it is the symbol of unity, in which my life is now joined with yours in one unbroken circle, in which, wherever I go, I will always return to you, and to our togetherness.[...]

Since the marriage ceremony is not the highest point of their relationship but the beginning of a greater mutual commitment, closeness and regard, love and esteem, grant to them everything that they need to enrich their relationship: strengthen the bonds of love and deepen their understanding and acceptance of one another that each may be to the other a source of support and strength, comfort and healing, blessing their lives at all times.[...]

Since you have consented to join together in the bond of matrimony, and have pledged yourselves to each other, by the power vested in me by the Unitarian Universalist Church, which recognizes every true union of love, I declare you to be married.

Now you are two people with one shared life before you.

Go now unto your dwelling place to enter the days of your lives together. May your days be good and long upon the earth.

I hereby present to you, Philippe and William, partners in life."

So here is the question:

To all the people, bigots, ignorants and other conservatives morons who opposes and deny us the right of equality, the right of commitment, the right of recognition of love:

What our solemn commitment and marriage 12 years ago changed in your life?
How did our power of love and personal choice to commit to each other and spend the rest of our life together interfered with you and your pathetic daily routine?...

I know the answer already... there is not much of it.
Please , live and let live!

Analysis of an Election results

I know I shouldn't, but since this blog is supposed to be about satire, I couldn't refrain myself to make the analogy of the election's results through this picture...LOL

HISTORY

Let the dream comes true

I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.


I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."

And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!

Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!

But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Dr Martin Luther King Jr. - August 28, 1963

Let the dream become true!

McCain Versus McCain

Today I posted here bellow a serie of videos, some serious, other satirical but in all case informative and entertaining about those two fools...
24 hours to go, people.... 24 hours only and we will know if America choose Future versus Past, brightness versus darkness, success versus failure, intelligence versus stupidity, youth versus senility, humans rights versus religious dictatorship.... 24 hours!

McCain Mansions

The Real McCain

Don't speak for me Sarah Palin...

Sarah Witchcraft...

Sarah Palin accepts the blessing of Pastor Thomas Muthee, who asks Jesus to fund her political campaigns, and protect her from witchcraft.

And they want to use Rev. Jeremiah Wright against Obama? They are such hypocritecal people...

What a moment!...

Sarah "Straight talks"

Hey Sarah!....

Fight, fight, fight...

The only thing and word you hear from the McCrippled warmonger campaign is: "fight"... here are some of his permanents infamous quotes :

"I'm an American and I choose to fight"

"America is worth fighting for. Nothing is inevitable."

"I will fight for you"

"What America needs in this hour is a fighter"

"I come from a long line of McCains who believed that to love America is to fight for her"

"I have fought for you most of my life"

"Fight with me. Fight for what's right for our country. Fight for the ideals and character of a free people."

"I've fought to get million-dollar checks out of our elections. I've fought lobbyists who stole from Indian tribes. I fought crooked deals in the Pentagon. I fought tobacco companies and trial lawyers, drug companies and union bosses."

"I fought for the right strategy and more troops ... when it wasn't a popular thing to do."

"Fighting is what America is all about" (this one is scary, but unfortunatly so true since 8 years!)

"Fight for a new direction for our country"

"Fight for what’s right for America"

"Fight to clean up the mess of corruption, infighting and selfishness in Washington"

"Fight to get our economy out of the ditch and back in the lead"

"Fight for justice and opportunity for all"

"Fight for the ideals and character of a free people"

"Fight for our children’s future"

"Our armed forces will fight for peace in Iraq"

"Even more important, they will fight for two human conditions of even greater value than peace: liberty and justice. "

"Stand up, Stand Up Fight with Me" (oh yeah...LOL)

"It's time to Stand up and Fight for them"

"I choose to fight. Don't give up hope. Don't give hope. Be strong. Have courage. And fight "

It's so shallow! No substance at all....

Don't you people are tired fighting? America is fighting all over the world for the past eight years, so do you really want to fight for 4 more years of unneeded war in Iraq, failure to win in Afghanistan, the Collapse of Pakistan, attempts to Privatize Social Security, Privatized Profits and Socialized Losses of the Corporate Welfare State, outsourcing of jobs overseas, failed energy policy, skyrocketing deficits, and finally 4 years of hearing the phrase "My Friends" uttered every other sentence?????

Don't you want "peace" instead of "fight"? Do you really want to keep the image of the nasty Rottweiler around the world : "big muscle, no brain"????

Well you have two days to show the world that have the courage to fight "fight" for peace !!!!!

Damn!

VOTE PEACE!

VOTE OBAMA !........
