LADIES AND GERMS, IT'S TIME FOR THE 2018 BEE-OTCH OF THE YEAR!

-

Since 1999, we've been handing out the Bee-otch of the Year to the biggest idiots possible.

Of course, we have the Bee-otch of the Day Monday through Thursday. On Sundays, we hand out the Bee-otch of the Week based on pageviews on our Blogspot site. Now, we're basing the Bee-otch of the Year based on, once again, pageviews from that site.

Without further adieu...

9) Shri Thanedar (August)
In this year's gubernatorial election here in Michigan, there were three people vying for the Democratic nomination: Gretchen Whitmer, Abdul El-Sayed and Shri Thanedar. Shri spent millions on ads but ended up getting his Indian ass handed to him. He claimed to be the most-progressive of the three candidates, but sadly, he was a fake. He's got several mansions and like pRick Snyder, he ran a business into the ground. Even more disgusting is the fact that he allowed many lab animals to die. Well, the voters spoke out and Shri ended up getting whipped in the primary by Whitmer, who is now governor-elect.

8) Townsquare Media (September)
Over the past few years, the media giant has been tinkering with WGRD. One day it seems, they're a decent active rocker. However on occasion, they've been adding in butt rock that you can already hear on WLAV and 101.3 The Brew. Please, Townsquare, knock it the hell off!

7) Non-voters (November)

So who were the real losers in the November election? The Republicans? Democrats? Nope! It's those who don't think that they need to vote. Yes, the two main parties suck. Don't like them? Look into the third parties. I voted Green for the gubernatorial and senate runs and I don't regret it. It's time to tell the bigwigs in charge that if they won't change, we can make them.

6) Bill Cosby (September)
Well, after DECADES of rumors, it's official: Bill Cosby is a convicted sex offender. A judge sentenced him to up to ten years in prison for drugging and assaulting a woman in his home in 2004. Since the 1960s, Cosby was considered one of the first African American comics to break through into the mainstream. But, the allegations caught up with him and his case was a major pillar in the #MeToo movement. Now, he's rotting away in a Pennsylvania prison, getting attacked by objects resembling Jello Pudding Pops in the shower.

5) ESPN (May)
Not long ago, the sports network launched Get Up, an early morning sports show that has gotten horrible ratings because, well, it's going after the same audience that watches Today and Good Morning America. You know, old yentas? Since the BOTD article was written, co-host Michelle Beadle - who never wanted to host the show in the first place - has left the program and the show was shortened to two hours. Since then, the show's ratings have improved somewhat.

4) Sinclair Broadcast Group (April)
Early this year, it was revealed that Sinclair had been forcing its anchors to read a statement that many - like myself - feel is trying to make their newscasts Orwellian. The company has long been known for their conservative bent with their local newscasts. Here in Michigan, the company owns stations in most TV markets in the state, including here in west Michigan, where they own CBS WWMT-3. They also own multiple stations through holding companies - which is technically illegal - in two other Michigan markets: Traverse City (NBC WPBN-7&4 and ABC WGTU 29&8) and Flint/Tri-Cities (NBC WEYI-25, WSMH-Fox 66 and WBSF-CW 46). Sinclair also made headlines because of their botched $4 billion buyout of Tribune Broadcasting. The FCC disapproved the sale because they discovered that they were paying a Maryland auto dealer to "own" Tribune flagship WGN-TV/Radio in Chicago.

3) iHeartMedia (June and October)
Sometimes, I wonder how this company stays in business. In Detroit, they launched a new alternative station - Alt 106.7 - and it's tanking in the ratings. Detroit has seen its fair share of failed alternative stations - i.e. The Edge @ 105dot1, Planet 96.3, WLBS and 94.3 The Bone - just to name a few. Even the big survivor in the alternative world, 89X recently changed to a heavier active rock sound that's trying to counter the older-leaning WRIF. What's laughable also is that they're still making a big deal of firing successful people as well; here in Grand Rapids, they fired WSNX PD/afternoon jock Stick AFTER the station went to #1 in the Nielsen book. And here, 101.3 The Brew still exists even though they have an EXTREMELY shitty morning show, Rover's Morning Glory. The Brew's ratings have been in the shitter almost since they started as 101.3 The Fox over 15 years ago.

2) Donald Trump (January 1 2 3, February 1 2 and December 1 2)
Yes, when I was tabulating BOTY results, I was shocked, too. Plus, it was an election year, also. I was hoping to give Drump BOTY honors because, well, he's an asshole. I knew that by this time last year that the gains that happened under Obama had all but disappeared. The stock market's in a bear territory, free trade with other nations has halted because of tariffs, people are starting to lose jobs and wait and see what will happen with Drumpf's tax cuts. Now, government workers are furloughed all because Drumpf lied to his supporters claiming that Mexico would build his pet wall. The good news is that the House will have a Democratic majority in the new year. Now, there's the hope that we will begin the process of getting this orange shitgibbon out of the White House and into a penitentiary where he belongs.

The funny thing about this year's BOTY is that, well, it's not Drumpf. Although personally, I think he needs to be BOTY. But here at Chuck69.com, rules are rules, whether we like them or not. Ladies and germs, the Bee-otch of the Year is...

JOE GASSMANN!
Yep, a douchebag woman beater is worse than Drumpf, at least according to you, the Chuck69.com reader. Oh, wait, Drumpf has done the same! Anyway, Gassman's a sidekick to Free Beer and Hot Wings but had his misdemeanor charges dropped due to a lack of witnesses. What happened was Gasmann got into a fight with his girlfriend after she thought he was seeing a woman on the side. The two got into a fight and she ended up with bruises. In the end in a sick twist of fate, the girlfriend, Ashley wrote a statement that she didn't want him to go to jail.

You know, I think it's funny that FB&HW brought this drunk woman beater back to their Stern clone show and yet Eric Zane had to be let go because of how Townsquare treats their employees. Of course, Zane's on WBBL being the puppet of the Huge Retard, getting no ratings.

Say what you want about Stern - especially with his new-found political correctness - but he's still eons better than most of the morning offerings on terrestrial radio. I know that he almost literally swept Artie Lange under the rug, but judging by his coke habit and smooshed nose, well, I don't blame the King of All Media at all. At least Stern's still on the air everywhere on SiriusXM whereas FB&HW have gotten canned everywhere, including Lansing and northern Michigan (twice, I might add).

Look, I was in a rocky relationship earlier this year. My so-called "girlfriend" had no job, no car and had an opioid problem. She was taking money away from me and even driving around in my car despite not having a driver's license. She had to go. It even got to the point that my co-workers had to come over to escort her out. Personally, my way of combating a girlfriend problem was a million times better than Joe's. No man should ever beat a woman, plain and simple.

So, there you have it. Get ready for another year of losers!

12.20.18 Bee-otch of the Day: Langer Gokey

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY!

Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday; Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Sunday morning on Chuck69.com.

-------

Name: Langer Gokey
Age: 67
Occupation: businessman
Last Seen: Minot, ND
Bee-otched For: honoring one of the reasons why KLT sucks
-
Ya know, I'm really starting to royally hate Traverse City's once loud and proud indie paper, the Northern Express.

Years ago, they used to have some great comics, like Tom the Dancing Bug and Jen Sorensen's weekly strip. Now, they've been replaced with (you guessed it) more advertising. After all, the paper's fairly new owner is reportedly a Republican.

This week, a full page ad appeared in the Express' inner back page for the crappy-assed geriatric rock station known as WKLT. The ad is a letter to the station's long-time programming director and midday jock, Terri Ray, who celebrates her 35th anniversary with the station on January 2nd. The letter is bordered with pictures all throughout her career, including one from her first day on the job. The letter states that she's the voice of rock radio in Northern Michigan and is compassionate and the station is looking towards the next 35 years and blah blah blah...

Now, I know. Some people *do* like Terri Ray. Yes, she tends to be quite friendly, but the sad thing is that when KLT began its life as an AOR in 1982, they apparently sounded decent. However, since they became "Double Rock" in the early 90s, the station thought that it became more and more important to pretend that not much in the way of rock music was recorded after 1990.

When I was a teen living in northern Michigan, KLT dodged so much in the world of rock that it was embarrassing. Even worse, they had a near monopoly. Bands like KoRn, Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Deftones and others never got airplay on KLT. They simply thought it was "kids music" and that younger fans should flip to the now-defunct 106.7 The Peak, which was their sister station. Sorry, but premanufactured boy bands sucked back then and even still today. Of course, The Peak was blown up for shitty AC music and is now ESPN Up North.

I know, a lot has changed since the late 90s. There's Rock 105/95-5 and all sorts of digital media to keep anybody whose IQ is well over room temperature away from the so-called Rock Station and their milquetoast playlist. I remembered reading Facebook posts from downstaters who had to bring bags of CDs when they came up north simply because the radio there totally sucked.

The sad thing is the fact that KLT thinks they're still popular, yet, they don't subscribe to any ratings service, especially since one of 106.7's old PDs sent fake diaries to Arbitron about a decade ago. They simply tell advertisers that they've been #2 in the ratings forever, even though Rock 105/95-5's ratings have skyrocketed since they put the format back on 95.5 a few years ago.

The funny thing about the "letter" is that they're hoping Terri can last another 35 years. Well, she's 58 now, and in 35 years, she'll be 93. I hope that she'll retire much sooner and can take the station with her. Because of their ignorance towards most rock music recorded past the grunge era, when KLT's listeners die off, I seriously don't think my generation can support their sorry ass.

So now some of you are wondering, who the HELL is this Langer Gokey guy is? Well, he owns KLT, along with ESPN Up North and 94.3/92.5 The Fox. He lives in Minot, ND and owns a Pepsi bottler. Shortly after Terri was hired, his father bought the station and he himself bought it from his dad about 20 years ago. Sadly, Langer apparently is more of a silent owner and only cares about the money. It explains why if a jock begs for a raise, they'll be canned in two years. Terri, on the other hand is still there.

Personally, why Langer didn't sell his stations 20 years ago when groups were buying out is beyond me. I think he simply wanted too much money. Today, radio stations are hardly worth a tin dime because everything's run off of a computer and they have a hard time competing with the internet. A lot of times, I read about stations having a hard time staying on the air so they simply go out of business and send their license back to the FCC.

You see, when I was young - and still today - Trent Reznor spoke my language. So did Jonathan Davis, Maynard Keenan (A NORTHERN MICHIGANDER, MIND YOU), Wayne Static, Rob Zombie, Zach de la Rocha and so many others. KLT spat at them. Instead, they embrace shitty butt rock from people who could care less about people like me. Steve Perry doesn't speak my language, and neither does Dennis DeYoung, Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Miller and ESPECIALLY Ted Nugent.

If Terri Ray wants to work at KLT when she's wearing Depends, she can be my guest. I just renewed my Sirius/XM subscription and I plan to make a trip up or two in my new car next summer. My car will be one less car on the road playing "Carry On Wayward Son".

The moral of the story: if you ignore the people who were forced to grow up with your station, prepare to have your ass handed to you.

Name: Donald Trump
Age: 72
Occupation: mop
Last Seen: Washington, DC
Bee-otched For: lack of hope, faith and charity
-
If there's one thing I'm ever skiddish about, it's giving my money to a charity.

I hate it when I hear that particular charity use their money that was donated to them on various things average people cannot afford. Some 20 years ago, I remembered hearing about Pat Robertson using the planes he used for his Operation: Blessing organization to fly home to his diamond mines in Africa. The planes were designated to fly children in third world countries to American hospitals.

Of course, money scandals have rocked other well-known charities over the years like Susan G. Koman and the Wounded Warrior Project. However, they're still chugging along.

But thankfully, one charity is going out of business, and it's The Donald J. Trump Foundation.

The New York Attorney General's office lashed out against Drumpf and the foundation after it was discovered that it violated anti-trust issues. Drumpf himself donated very little of his own money to his own charity and even used money from it to settle lawsuits and even used its own money for Drumpf's 2016 presidential run.

Now, the charity is being dissolved under a judge's care. Its assets are currently $1.7 million.

You know, I hope Drumpf's charity flap will be another nail in his coffin. It's yet one of the way too many reasons I can't trust the dude. Charities are designed to help the less fortunate. Drumpf has been a millionaire since the day he was born.

Sadly, the only Charity one can support for good reason are the strippers with that name.

Name: John Gray
Age: 45

Last Seen: Greenville, SC
Bee-otched For: being a reverse Robin Hood
-
t was Jesus who told the rich young man that it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to Heaven.

So I guess the wife of a mega pastor from down south was poor, even though her husband makes millions from the pulpit.

John Gray is a pastor at the Relentless megachurch in South Carolina and is an associate pastor at Lakewood Church in Houston, the home of another crooked grifter, Joel Osteen. Last week, he raised eyebrows when it was announced that he bought his wife Aventer a Lamborghini Urus, an SUV whose base price happens to be $200,000 for their eighth wedding anniversary. According to Gray, "it wasn't a pastor that bought the car, it was a husband that bought the car."

After the controversy unfolded, Gray took to Facebook Live and told his flock that he got the $200,000 from his TV show, which airs on the Oprah Winfrey Network, books and various investments. He claims that not one cent of church money was spent on the Lambo.

You know, I'm no fan of megachurches. All they do is preach a gospel that's all about wealth and prosperity: two things Jesus preached against. Right now, there's many churches that are struggling, including one that was the father of a family friend of mine's. This church is in a ghetto of Philadelphia and it's beyond hurting. Attendance is low and the people who attend don't give much because they don't have money. Apparently, the city is trying to shut the church down because their building is an eyesore. Inside, it's not even safe. The walls are crumbling, there's broken-down pews and the building has no heat. Now, they need at least $50,000 to keep the church going and they simply don't have the money.

When I hear about preachers and their mansions, their jet planes and expensive cars, to me, it simply causes people to abandon religion altogether. As a matter of fact, millennials are abandoning Christianity left and right. Sadly, the gospel of helping others and other things Jesus wanted is now getting lost in the message of helping some grifter buy his wife a Lambo.

Here's a better idea for $200,000: FEED THE HUNGRY.

Name: Reed O'Connor
Age: 53
Occupation: federal judge
Last Seen: Dallas, TX
Bee-otched For: preparing to take away our human rights
-
The Democrats giveth and the Repukes taketh away.

On late Friday night, a Federal judge in Texas ruled that the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare was now unconstitutional. Judge Reed O'Connor claimed in a 55-page statement that Drumpf's tax plan, which eliminated the insurance mandate for all Americans was what made it unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, the Democrats in the House and Senate are claiming that O'Connor's ruling will be appealed in the Supreme Court. But with it being skewered to the right now, it's almost safe to say that the ACA is as good as dead.

Of course, O'Connor now claims that ALL of the ACA is unconstitutional, meaning that if the modern Supreme Court agrees with him, this definitely means that insurance companies could bring back the pre-existing condition clause. Undoubtedly, this means that if you get sick, your insurance company will once again fuck you over while their CEOs rake in millions from your pocket.

In recent years, fewer people have gotten Obamacare because they get insurance from their employers. However, with Drumpf's tariff bullshit beginning to wreck havoc with the economy, will we the Americans have jobs next year when his tax cuts for the wealthy take effect?

Look, Obamacare is nice. Yes, it's helped to make insurance affordable for millions. Yes, it's given insurance companies a big slap on the wrist for literally killing people like Eric de la Cruz and others for profit. But sadly, it's not enough. WE NEED SINGLE PAYER UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE NOW!

The only way to achieve this, sadly, is if we give the Democrats a message. We need true progressives in our government, not those who will compromise with the Repukes. We cannot afford another 2016 again. If Hillary or another lame ducker runs, we're gonna get screwed even worse.

But until then, kiss your rights goodbye.

Well, it's official: Drumpf is one step closer to seeing steel.

His beloved lawyer, Michael Cohen has been sentenced to three years in prison all due to the hush money scandal that has rocked Drumpf's presidency. A lot of it's due to his affairs with porn star Stormy Daniels and ex-Playboy model Karen Mcdougal.

Of course, Individual-1 paid those two ladies thousands in hush money to protect his campaign in 2016. Trust me, I believe in the lie detector results. And if Cohen failed at protecting Drumpf, well, guess what? It's Mueller Time.

Folks, the proof is in front of us. Drumpf needs to vacate the White House by any means necessary. He's a threat to our democracy and deserves to rot in prison. If his people go to jail, he needs to go, too.

We can't wait another two years.

If there's any type of person I can't stand, it's those who don't know good grammar.

You know, people who think that a comma is used like this: (word) ,(word) instead of this: (word), (word). There are those who always use an apostrophe in all plural word's <-like that. And yes, there are those who are piss-poor spellers, misspelling words that even a first grader can spell.

But leave it up to Drumpf, who could make Jim Carrey cringe.

In a recent tweet, he spelled "smoking" "smocking". Now, I'm typing this on my smartphone, and "smocking" didn't even come up on my autocorrect list. "Smock", OTOH is defined as "a loose dress or blouse, with the upper part closely gathered in smocking." Makes perfect sense from the de facto president who introduced us all to the phrase "grab 'em by the pussy".

With the Dow going downward all because of the tariffs regarding Drumpf's BS, it explains that an asshole who can't spell "smoking" can't get the economy to work right.

Of course, Drumpf ended up in an altercation with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer today over funding for his little dream wall at the Mexican border. Funny how we don't have universal healthcare or free colleges, but protecting us from those less fortunate than us? Please.

For somebody who can't spell "smoking", he sure acts like a spoiled bastard sitting in his high chair, kicking and screaming. Everything has to go his way or else he'll shutter the government. Well, 2020 is fast-approaching, and seeing his dismissal will be a dream come true to many Americans.

Or even better, seeing a "smocking" gun blow a bullet to his brain.

It's no secret that one of the great things about the great state of Michigan is the abundance of water.

Four of the five Great Lakes border our state and is a part of the reason for the state's tourism. Some in much-drier states like Arizona have pushed for pipelines from our state's waterways to their state. I don't blame them, since the water in Arizona tastes like mud. But guess what? It sucks to be an Arizonian.

But for a few bucks, you can have as taste of the Great Lakes no matter where you are. Thank Nestle for that.

As it is, the Swiss food giant is paying the state of Michigan a pittance of $200 per year to pump water out of our lakes. Of course, the Repukes all cry that they're giving the people of Canadian Lakes and Evart jobs, but the sad reality is that if you live in the area, it's a bitch to take a shower with the lack of water pressure.

One of the sickening tragedies about all this is the fact that Nestle's chairman, Paul Bulcke once stated that water was not a human right. This coming from an asshole who makes $11 million per year off of our water.

So, what's Nestle doing to make us feel a little better about buying bottles of Ice Mountain or Pure Life? Simple: running commercials on local Grand Rapids TV about them giving shit tons of their bottled water to the citizens of Flint. So far, two commercials were produced.

However, the people of Flint reportedly are pissed over the commercials because it was Nestle who helped create the water crisis in the first place. They're pumping out of the same source Flint used for decades, Lake Huron. As part of the deal, Flint changed their water source over to the polluted Flint River, which ended up corroding the water lines.

Today, most in Flint are still without clean water and Nestle's simply giving them a handout to make themselves look good. Sorry, I'm not buying it.

The more I look at those commercials, the more I hate Nestle. They don't deserve my - or anybody's - money for what they've done to my home state. This, of course is coming from somebody who would put four scoops of Quik powder in his milk as a kid to the dismay of his own mother.

"OH! BUT THEY CREATE JOBS!" Well, if our water ends up tasting like Colorado River water, we're all going to suffer.

Over the years, Michigan has been mostly a blue state.

Yes, we went red for Drumpf and George H.W. Bush, but that's what happens when the Democrats become milquetoast. But because we fight for good jobs, good pay and our environment, most of us prefer a good lefty to fight evil corporations like Nestle who profit off of our natural resources.

But starting today, Michigan goes green.

Recently, voters passed a proposal that legalized marijuana and early today, it became totally legal. Michigan is one of only ten states and the only one in the midwest to allow the sale of recreational pot. The state has legalized medicinal marijuana for a decade.

Sadly, there are a few towns in the state that are frowning on the legalization of all things pot, including a few here in west Michigan. Cedar Springs has outlawed all pot sales and ultra-conservative Hudsonville has banned it all together. Oh, and by the way, their mayor is a dick.

You know, I feel that all Americans have the right to smoke pot when they want. Same with alcohol. It bothers me knowing that there are some who are drinking the "Reefer Madness" Kool-Aid and thinking that pot will kill you. The reality is that I think the good will definitely outweigh the bad. I think that pot legalization will decrease the opioid epidemic and will help many get off expensive medications. There's people whose cancers were cured from - SURPRISE! - smoking pot. Just imagine life being better for Michigan, and increased sales for Little Caesars and Jets.

Maybe those who are against pot need to start smoking it.

Bee-otched For: making us drink less beer and pop
-

Us Michiganders have it so lucky.

There are many states that charge deposits for pop and beer cans and bottles. Of course, you get your money back if you return your bottles to the store. But unlike other states where the deposit is five cents, Michigan's deposit rate is a full dime.

Thanks to the high deposit, Michigan has some of the lowest roadside litter rates in the nation. But there's a state legislator who wants to change all that.

And yes, there's an R after his name.

Joseph Bellino of Monroe claims that the state's deposit laws are hurting smaller mom-n-pop stores. Under Michigan law, all stores that sell pop and beer must accept bottles and cans of the brands they sell. Bellino owns the Broadway Market in Monroe and claims that the state's deposit laws are costing him $9,000 per year. According to him, he has to pay somebody to sort cans and bottles to be bagged and sent back to its distributors. As somebody who once worked at two different party stores in my lifetime and did such a thing, I know what he's talking about.

Yes, sorting bottles ain't glamorous, especially with beer dripping down your arm. But, it's a job. Getting rid of the state's deposit laws will mean less jobs, more trash on the side of the roads and more animals eating the plastic, getting sick and dying. Plus, people who now their lawns would get their blades damaged from the litter.

Personally, I recommend returning your empties to bigger stores like Walmart because they can afford to lose $9,000 per year. It is true that there are smaller stores out there that are suffering, plus the fact that there are several towns in Michigan that don't have a real supermarket anymore. But that doesn't mean that we need to abolish the ten cent deposit laws so Podunk can still have an IGA that hasn't been updated since 1973 and half-empty shelves. Yes, having a business is so one can make money. But, you can't have money until you pay people to help you out.

In the end, if pRick Synder passes this into law, this will prove that he's a man that hates the environment. Fucking up Flint's water system and not doing a lot about Line 5? No problem!

Remember, folks, Monroe is part of the Toledo area and not Detroit. Think about that for a minute or two.

-------

Name: George H.W. Bush
Age: was 94
Occupation: ex-president
Last Seen: not on this earth
Bee-otched For: well, everything

A few weeks ago, animation historian Steve Stanchfield uploaded to YouTube an old piece of propaganda.

It was a 1936 animated campaign film produced for Alf Landon, who was running for president against Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the film - produced by Ted Eshbaugh - a jackass donkey does what they do the best: kicks and eats everything in its sight. In the end, a regular donkey - used to symbolize "constitutional" Democrats - kicks the jackass into the distance while an elephant walks in. In the end, Uncle Sam is using the donkey and the elephant to plow together, symbolizing unity in the two-party system.

Of course, it was the Repukes who got us into the Great Depression as it was. But instead of listening to them, FDR went at it alone and the New Deal helped save America from ruin. Alf Landon of course lost the 1936 election and fell into obscurity.

Growing up, I learned about sportsmanship. If somebody is better than you, you congratulate that person and so on. One of the problems with that in politics is the fact that for too long, bipartisanship tends to lead to us Americans not getting the same respect people in other countries get. Look at Obamacare: it's not universal healthcare, but at least it's better than your insurer telling you that you can't get treated simply because you have a pre-existing condition.

To me, I get flustered hearing about the two sole Democratic presidents in my lifetime kissing George H.W. Bush's ass after he died Friday night. Hell, Clinton even referred to 41 as his second father and Obama seemed to be quite fond if the Bushes even after he inherited the fucking quagmire his son created.

Yes, 41 had one quality, and it was the fact that he was one-and-done with his presidency. Simply put, he was Reagan's third term, busting unions, fucking up the economy and totally ignoring the AIDS crisis. He was obsessed with war, throwing our troops into Iraq.

But the worst quality of 41 was definitely 43. He threw us into Iraq again, plus Afghanistan for no reason whatsoever. To this day, our poor, tired troops are over in Afghanistan fighting an oil man's war. Let's not forget the 3000 poor souls who died on 9/11 over his ignorance and the 4000 more in his fake wars. Dubya is wanted in several countries for war crimes.

You know, the more I think about the Bushes, the Repukes and the Dems who kiss their ass, the more I wish we had real progressives in politics. The real test to me is healthcare. We're one of the few nations on earth where it costs $2,000 to excise a CYST. Yes, a cyst. Trust me on this one since it happened to me last summer.

But to me, one of the big reasons why I hate the Bushes is because of how they and Reagan fucked over the middle class in the 1980s. They busted the unions and gave the wealthy a huge tax break. When I graduated a small tech school in 2001, there were NO jobs out there. NONE. My asshole conservative Repuke ex-stepdad wanted me out of his house, even forcing my mom to force me to sign an application for an apartment with me not having a decent job. Thanks to people like GHWB, my mom and ex-stepdad were stuck in a timewarp where there were jobs everywhere when there weren't, especially in rural northern Michigan.

So there. George H.W. Bush is dead and I feel fine, thank you very much. Didn't like what I had to say? Walk a few miles in my shoes. I had to live TEN FUCKING YEARS making chicken shit wages and no other real jobs around. I even threatened to move several times. When people pushed me down for having a shitty job and living in a shitty apartment, I wished they would walk in my shoes and others who had college degrees and making $8/hr. at Walmart. Not my or their fault. This is what we get for voting Republican, and this is what happens when we have Democrats who don't mind giving them a rimjob.

BTW, I love Mike Peters' editorial tribute to GHWB and his wife, Barbara. It's too bad the parachute opened.
