Uh, parallel universe?

Written in 2004:

The record price comes as a new book by Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward claims that Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, promised President Bush the Saudis would cut oil prices before November.

Woodward, author of a new book on Bush’s preparations for the Iraq war “Plan of Attack,” said Prince Bandar pledged the Saudis would try to fine-tune oil prices to prime the U.S. economy for November’s presidential election, a move they understood would favor Bush.

And one month before the November mid-term elections:

Oil sinks to seven-month low below $60

Maximum suckage.

I was also reading about the port huron and sharon statements, due to watching the Big Lebowski. Both seem rather dated. I think it’d be interesting to draft my own statement.

Congress is fuckin up!

written as i observed a flock of young ones being sheppered by their parents in various unflattering costumes on halloween:

A group of married parents
Congregate in a plan
They collude,
“How quickly can we
Destroy our children,
How do I transpose
my inadaquecies and
Inabilities onto the innocent?”
One parent raises
their hand
“Dress them like Harry Potter”
