Didn't I Warn You?

I've warned my loyal readers recently-- whenever you hear of a Bush Administration screw-up, you must refrain from asking yourself "How can it get worse?" Because is can and always does. It's a talent these people have. Someone, though, was obviously not listening.

When US intelligence services revealed that despite the Bush Administration's best efforts to rationalize a war with Iran (because the war in Iraq just hasn't been disasterous enough), the Iranians ended their efforts to produce an atomic bomb in 2003. I just know someone said "Jeez, How could things get worse?"

The New York Times reported that for the first time since 1991, the rate of teenagers having children has risen rather than fallen.

I guess the federally-funded "abstinence-only" sex ed classes aren't working out so well, huh?

We just need to give the abstinence only education a chance! It hasn't had enough time to work! We'll just put in more teachers, sort of a surge of edumacators to tell more kids exactly what sex is and why they can never, ever have it! That won't make them curious at all! Stay the course! Stay the course! If it doesn't work after eight months I promise to pretend to rethink the whole situation!

well, at least we can buy our male children a new knife to take to school this Christmas. I'm sure the Bushies had something to do w/this, I just don't know what.

Let's see. Abstinence only didn't work in 1946. I know it for sure, my family is proof.

It didn't work - ever.

But the "let's pretend" world seems to work for Bush. "Let's pretend that there are WMD's"... "Let's pretend there is not constituion"... "Let's pretend"... The Bush Mantra.

He's such a dork. Oy.
