Happy Jewish New Year's (5766!) goes out to all my Jewish friends. I actually don't have too many Jewish friends. In fact I can only count 2. Sorry, I live in casual Christian land. I like the tradtions of this holiday, it's like Lent but better! Everyone should have a day where they tell everyone who they were mean too: I'm Sorry. I think people would be happier and maybe everyone would become generally nicer. Call it a neo-hippie dream if you like, but the idea of loving everyone should not always bring a smirk to people's faces (thank you 80's for tainting the message of the 60's)
Ok, I see your smirk, I'll get to my point. I think it would be great if our elected officals would apologize for the bad, mean, manipulative, stupid, reactionary things that they did in the past year. While picking on Bush is as cliche as telling everyone to love each other, I'm going to do it anyways. Fuck cliches.
President Bush I accept your apologies for the following*:
-secret CIA prisons
-continuing to ignore the facts on Iraq (oh say like the 6,500 civilians that died in July and August alone)
-not improving our security (pretty much at all)
-09/11/06 Speech (stop using tragedy for personal gain)
-Staying mum on the whole Abramoff scandal (although I think you know all about that)
You get the idea. So I know Mr. Bush that most of your Jewish friends are probably Democrats and well... actually now that I think about it you probably don't have any "real" Jewish friends. Sure they don't believe that Jesus was the messiah, but give it a shot anyways.
*my response if he were too actually aplogize for ANYTHING.
