I heard there's going to be some black Hobbits in the new Lord of the Rings movie.

Sorry, you'll have to talk with Kevbone about this point. I don't do conspiracy. What confuses me is why all of a sudden you people give a shit about unemployed people. You supported policies that shipped jobs overseas, you were against helping out automakers when millions of jobs were at risk, you're against collective action by unions to limit layoffs, you've bitched about extending unemployment benefits and other "welfare schemes", and you don't believe in government putting people to work. And yet now you're all about unemployment. Huh. Yes, you are more than a bit confused. Me thinks it was you people who drove said jobs overseas with your blind support for the aforementioned unions and extraordinarily burdensome environmental regulations. I like to think of you people as urban simpletons. Did you get a lobotomy while you were at the Teabagger Retreat?

Still bummed that your folks' "shovel-ready" project was rejected?

Are you starting a Buy American campaign?

Sorry, I am trying to follow along here. Are you complaining that the stimulus has not gone far enough to put unemployed people to work?

Are you suggesting that Obama and the government should put these people to work?

Yes, Bush was great at rushing in to hug the victims of his policies. What a wonderful legacy, what grace...

Cult? Look no further than the comment boards on these articles. It's hard to tell if the respondents are invoking the name of the Lord or think that George W. Bush is Christ himself. And since when did the main occupation of the President become Comforter In Chief? Is he (or she) to be our National Griever, jetting from one disaster to another, holding and patting people, offering heartfelt condolences and words of support? The commenters on these articles would suggest that doing so is far more important than crafting legislation that would actually improve peoples' lives and might offer some real tangible support to people in need. More evidence of the ongoing infantilization of America...

And open himself to criticism of cynically seeking a photo-op? The Right's already decided who has the capacity for emotion and who can legitimately express it.

Bush probably feared that his visit might spur more shootings.

was it ever? "There's a story, a funny story, about me sitting in a restaurant. I'm eating this big meal and maybe having a couple of beers and smoking a cigarette. A woman comes by the table. She recognizes me and she's shocked because it seems like I should be in training or something. She's getting all over me, saying that a professional athlete should take better care of himself. I lean back and I say to her, "I ain't an athlete, lady. I'm a baseball player." --John Kruk, 10 Seasons .300 BA .397 OBP .446 SLG
