Re: George Bush telling tornado survivors “life is unfair:”
Yes, Dubya, life is unfair. Life is unfair for the hundreds of thousands of children who will go to bed hungry tonight. Life is unfair for Iraq veterans coming home to their houses being foreclosed by greedy mortgage companies. Life is unfair to all the people who face rebuilding their homes and businesses after the tornado last week. Life is unfair because some people are born with a silver spoon up their butts, and are given millions to throw away on failed oil companies and failing baseball teams.
Life is unfair when an alcoholic, dull witted, below-average student can get into Harvard while intelligent students are forced to go to state universities. Life is unfair to the millions of Americans who watched as thieves stole the White House not once, but twice.
Yes, Dubya. I would say life is unfair.

Note: This would have been a great comment to my Sunday Must-See post. But, there is just something about it that makes me think it deserves a post of its own. Grasshopper has a very distinctive voice. I am trying to convince her to use it on the blog, and I can’t think of a better form of encouragement than a stand-alone post. I hope this is the first of many posts to come from grasshopper.

That prevails which refuses to know the power of the other. Where fear is, does not danger also live? And where fear is not does not danger also die? Where the tiger and the man are two, Grasshopper, he may die. Yet, where the tiger and the man are one, there is no fear, there is no danger. For what creature, one with all nature, will attack itself? –Kung Fu the Movie
That’s me, Melissa, being your cheerleader, Grasshopper. Opinionate like it ain’t no thing. (Opinionate can be be found in G-Dubya’s Big Book of Made Up Words).
Comment by mdking 10 February, 2008 @ 9:13 pmIn a truelly just universe people like Dubya would completely understand how unfair life is. It would be manditory before one takes office to “live like the others do”. Then maybe life wouldn’t be so unfair.
Comment by Tara 11 February, 2008 @ 7:14 amGrasshopper, i agree that oneness with nature is much to be desired.
Comment by geneo 11 February, 2008 @ 5:55 pmLife is unfair? He said that, really? Wow.
Having been in the basement of the W during its ‘02 tornadoes, I’m pretty sure that “unfair” doesn’t even begin to cover the fact that Columbus is still recovering from that round of tornadoes and has been hit with several since, including one that ripped through Caledonia, in the outskirts, during this storm.
Grr (this is the sound of me growling at the man you so aptly call our “Preznit”)
