[altroots] A little humor (for a change)

 Bill Maher's closing comments 9/9/05:
 
> "Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no
> more money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another
> war because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of
> your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people.
> Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No
> one's speaking to you. Mission accomplished.
 
> "Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest
> and walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil
> company and the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the
> next fantasy job. How about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you're
> saying: there's so many other things that you as President could
> involve yourself in. Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left
> to do. There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on
> yachts. Turning the space program over to the church. And Social
> Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.
 
> "But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you
> govern like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised
> that you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that
> walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he
> never conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes.
 
>  "On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus,
> four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City
> of New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't
> love this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you
> were on the other side.
 
>  "So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: 'Take a hint.' "
