Goodbye and Good Riddance That pretty much sums up the difference between Bush Republicans and the rest of the United States, the Lakers and the Pistons and the unfortunate reason Bush will be elected out of office this fall. (Please note that I said the unfortunate reason Bush will be elected out of office this fall because as much as Kerry wants to be everyman and to support everything, President Kerry will make expedient decisions based on the public whim, and will step on his own toes before falling flat on his face in a do-nothing, wishy-washy presidency. The Bush administration, like the arrogant, self-impressed Los Angeles Lakers, has no sense of humility, compassion, team work or cooperation, and uses power as an expression of its self-righteous petty self. The United States, to say nothing of the rest of the world, does not like to be force fed policy that pretends to be for the good of all when predominantly it exists to protect and enhance the sanctuary of the inner few with the logic that if 'it's good for us it must be good for them too, but who really cares anyway.' (Despite all his arrogance, I feel that Bush has done a better job than Kerry will - or put another way: some of that arrogance has led us to do what needed to be done and a less decisive, deeper thinking president will get bogged down by inertia and fear.) Goodbye and Good Riddance shows no appreciation of the divergent values that make up America or even a dialogue. It merely says 'this is my ball and my game and I make the rules,' and while that may be true here, on a national level that doesn't work, people get pissed off and elections are lost, unless of course you get your brother to disenfranchise enough legitimate voters to win an election illegally. So like the Lakers, the Bush Administration is the better team, but, as we know, that doesn't mean they are going to win, and when it gets close to the end it likely means we are going to hear a lot of whining. In fact, I'm hearing it already.
