Bend Over and Fill 'Er Up!
Man, oh man, are gas prices high. Who'd a thunk it?
When people voted for former oilmen Bush and Cheney as their President and his puppeteer, they thought these fellas would know how to deal with them Arabs and keep the prices at that sweet spot where SUVs sell like hot cakes and nobody worries about how many fucking miles per gallon they get.
But instead a barrel of oil is over $60 and gas for the Angry Buddhistmobile is now over three bucks a gallon. Luckily I have learned to travel in spirit without having to pack more than my karma. But for many of my followers that truth is not their truth.
And I know all you Bushies thought that when he and Veep Dick put together their Energy commission headed by Kenny Boy Lay of now bankrupt and completely disgraced Enron that they'd use their industry expertise to streamline, reduce redundancies and keep that cheap gas a flowing.
Now forgive me if I digress, but I know Martha Stewart is still being electronically monitored by the long arm of the law, while Ken Lay runs naked and free through the city streets of Houston StinkPot Texas doing meth and dealing crack with reckless abandon. I kid you not. I read it on line.
Today your Buddhist is not only angry at Bush and Cheney for using their public offices to let their pals in the oil industry and their bedsheet wearing Saudi Arabian friends all rape and pillage the public like they were milking cows at the dumber than average dairy cow farm... but he is even more angry with all the suckers and dimwits who voted for Bush and brought all the shit that he has wrought down upon us.
They have no excuses. Bush hasn't done a 180 and changed his stripes. None of what Bush has done should be a surprise to anyone who doesn't live in a Fox News world. Gas prices on their way to doubling while he's in office and all time historic record profits for those who paid to put him office? Where's the plot twist in that story? But to think that there would be an audience gullible and just plain simple minded enough to buy what Bush was selling and not see through it...
Fortunately the Angry Buddhist is not personally effected in any way by the price of gasoline since I transcend such mundane matters. So I look forward to gas making its inevitable journey to $4 and then $5 a gallon. I'm going to really enjoy watching all those folks with Hummers, Escalades, Lincoln Navagators and Ford Extinctions digging deep in their wallets like sheep to help make Bush's friends richer and richer and richer.
Hey, too bad that whole idea about the Iraq war paying for itself through the Iraqi oil industry profits backfired, didn't work and drove the price of oil even higher and the supply contracted. Wait till Iran and Venezula join forces to help cause the next oil crisis. People with ajustable rate loans are going to really dig what that does to interest rates.
But do you think anyone will admit they made a mistake in voting for Bush and either had their head up their ass at the time or just plain got themselves snookered? Fat fucking chance. When it comes to politics the average voter is as likely to admit making a mistake as George WMD Bush is.
And do you think people will get upset enough about the price of gas, or crappy economy for anyone who isn't rich already, or the trashing of the environment, or the incompetent response to 9-11, or the pissing away of the surplus or the shoving of Jesus Christ down the throats of all Amerians in this suddenly Christian branded country?
Nah. You're not going to see any riots or any public displays of anger or people power being exercised over this. Because we live in a nation of sheep where people only get upset and emotional over bullshit, primitive issues like whether or not stem cells are really people or whether god employed intelligent design to make sure gay folks do not get married.
What amuses your Buddhist no end is to see the poll numbers changing and dropping sharply for Bush while at the same time you don't hear anything sounding different in the public arena. All you've got to do is wave an American flag in front of some people and chant some mumbo jumbo about freedom, democracy and "getting those damn terrorists dead or alive!" and you can get self-annointed patriots to dance to whatever choreography you dictate.
They will flat out funky chicken if that's what you want them to do because their buttons are so damn easy and effective to push.
So forget ever seeing gas go back down in price again. But don't worry, you can just put it on your credit card and pay it off over time... at about 24% interest. That way Bush's banker buddies get to cornhole you too and dip their beaks as well.
