"Bull Shit, Bull Shit and More Bull Shit..!"

The saddest truth in all this is that Americans love "Bull Shit" we eat it up like Big Macs and corn dogs..!

We've become a bullshit society run by bullshit leads and corporate fascist criminals who have perfected the "Bull Shit" recipe and learned how to mass produce it like potato chips and soda pop..or Macaroni and cheese..!

We have real problems and there are real solutions to them but you can never get past the "Bull Shit..!"

All we are getting after 15 hellish months towards an election is "Bull Shit..!"

We even gave "Bull Shit a new name...

"Bovine Scatology"..which we can sell for more than your average generic regular run of the mill "Bull Shit..!"

Taibbi sees through most of the lies the Bush administration feeds us but he denies the most important one. He does not admit that 9/11 was an inside job. Google "Patriots Question 9/11" and check out how many experts who have careers in engineering, architecture, science, law enforcement, military, Airlines, CIA, Government, higher learning, etc. have to say about 9/11.
I am sure that Taibbi knows the truth--but he can become richer by denying it.

I hate it when writers and talking heads use plural pronouns.

I do not see myself as part of WE or US or MY. Bush is not MY president, WE did not vote for him, and this is not MY country. Bush is THEIR president, THEY voted for him, and this is THEIR country, not mine. Never have I felt so alienated in what used to be a place I felt so proud to belong in. I now am embarrassed and angry to be an American.
