Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentine’s Day, America.
As a special valentine to all America, George Bush has given each of us a little love.
For his rich friends of course he gave tax breaks, union pensions, non-union pensions, Medicare drug dollars, lowered payrolls through outsourcing and destruction of unions, no bid contracts in Iraq, Afghanistan and New Orleans (another third world area now under occupation).
Wait, I’m not done. George gave his rich friends a Supreme Court that will favor the rich in every decision.
He’ll soon have gotten rid of all those money wasting social programs so there will be more available money for the rich. The continued wars will certainly benefit his rich friends. If he can finish with the destruction of the public education system before he leaves office, the faith-based capitalist churches of Jesus Christ, Inc. will be given the voucher system it’s been waiting for.
The stock market has been given many valentines including Alan Greenspan and his new successor. The bad news of the misery index of joblessness, homelessness, bankruptcy, mortgage defaults and hunger have been hidden to avoid stock investors from knowing the true state of the economy.
And very soon, maybe Social Security can be swindled away to be given the Dow and Jones and other markets.
For the rest of America, the valentines are relief of our freedoms in exchange for protection from “terrorism”, jobs for our young in the “all volunteer military”, retirement benefits of door greeter at Wal-Mart and plenty of mind numbing entertainment called realism.
He'll protect us all from gay marriages, abortions and stem cell research. He'll make sure to execute as many people of color as possible. And poor white trash. He'll give us election machines that will do away with all the unnecessary paper.He'll protect the environment by providing big business the leadership of running environmental programs. He'll make sure our SUV's have the oil necessary even if he has to drill Alaska, Iraq, Iran and Venezuela.
The most important valentine of course is the cake. George wants to make sure we all eat cake.
