Tell Me Something I Didn’t Know

Posted under Politics by Bruno on Monday 16 February 2009 at 10:35 am

How would you like to be that guy. The guy who leaves a job and is known by all his coworkers, colleagues and fans (yes even them) that he was the biggest fuck up of his time. The past 8 years in the American political scene were a complete meltdown of political efficiency, accountability, legitimacy and worst of all competency. So it was confirmed by CNN this morning, George W. Bush is one of the worst Presidents in United States history. Voted upon not by the opposition, but rather by historians! You can run W., but you can’t hide because I’m sure this is one of many titles of this nature to follow.
Historians Give Bush Bad Early Verdict
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney. Historians have ranked Bush the seventh worst president. (CNN) – Former President Bush has only been out of office for less than a month, but historians have already delivered an early verdict on his presidency. In a survey of over 60 historians conducted by C-SPAN, the 43rd president ranks the seventh worst (and 36th overall) in the nation’s history, just edging out Millard Fillmore. Fillmore, the one-term president who served from 1850-53, assumed the presidency after Zachary Taylor died in office and was unable to win it in his own right. Worst on the list is James Buchanan, the one-term Democrat who served from 1857–1861 and has been criticized for not doing more to prevent Southern states from seceding. At the top of the list, the historians rank Abraham Lincoln as the best president in the nation’s history, edging out George Washington and Franklin Roosevelt. As for other recent presidents: Bill Clinton comes in at 15th, George H.W. Bush at 18th, Ronald Reagan at 10th, and Jimmy Carter at 25th.

Mommy Sarah, Where Do Turkeys Come From?

As Sarah Palin relaxes in her post Election life up in Alaska, this typical interview of her rambling and taking so long to not say anything has to take the cake. Unaware of what is happening in the background, Palin continues with her ramblings as two guajolotes get thier neck slit. Come to think of it, can you imaging her being interviewed in front of Guantanamo Bay while our finest washboard a couple of Terrorist in orange jumpsuits.

Obama Infomercial

Posted under Politics by Bruno on Monday 3 November 2008 at 11:08 am

Barack Obama purchased 30 primetime minutes on Thursday October 30th and ran what some called an infomercial. All major networks picked it up except CNN. Instead they chose to run an interview with Larry King and John McCain who proceeded whine about how Obama was using public funds to finance the infomercial. To date McCain sits 6% points behind Obama as he can see the writing on the wall. Get ready Good O’l Boys, change is coming!

Running For VP? Know Your Supreme Court Trivia

Posted under Politics by Bruno on Thursday 2 October 2008 at 10:27 am

On the morning of the VP Debate, I am mortified for Sarah Palin. I can’t stand her, but as an American I am embarrassed for her. How can the GOP be confident in her lack of preparedness she is displaying in her interviews? Might as well dress her in a burka and mute her like her Afghani sisters because everything that comes out of this Governor’s mouth is digging a bigger grave for the McCain campaign. No wonder the GOP has bent over backwards to keep her away from reporters. In the Katie Couric interview, Palin continually stumbles over her replies to Couric’s questions which any politician, especially a Vice Presidential candidate is expected to answer. When asked to name other Supreme Court decisions she doesn’t agree with other than Roe vs. Wade, Palin’s characteristic “dear in the headlights” look was classic. Tonight’s Debate will be a bloodbath. Biden must be licking his chops.

After Yesterday, A Reminder: 110 Days To Go

Posted under Politics by Bruno on Tuesday 30 September 2008 at 11:30 am

Can Dubya fuck it up anymore? I wanna buy a new car, I can’t. My wife and I are thinking of moving to a newer house, we can’t. My wife’s cousin was killed in Iraq. My President wants to help his Good O’l Boys Corporate buddies while I peek out my window and see foreclosed properties all down my street. To top it off, a wrinkled old man I use to be a fan of because he had a “fuck off” attitude, picks Tina Fey as his running mate because she has a vagina and lives across the street from Russia! I’m pissed. George Bush has fucked up this country, and now the world will suffer in there pocket books as we have. One question: George senior, was it worth stealing the election in 2000? Are you proud of your son? As a reminder for the time we have left with this fucked up ex-cheerleader cokehead, I offer my BushBeGone Countdown Widget.

Suspend The Campaign: WTF

Posted under Politics by Bruno on Friday 26 September 2008 at 7:29 am


I truly believe the unpredictability (“maverick” if you will) tendencies of John McCain are surfacing. First he has the balls to bail on Dave and head to D.C. because the U.S. Economic Crisis needed his attention and therefore he was “suspending the campaign”. As if. Isn’t having the ability to multi task US and World affairs a requirement for the office of U.S. President? So the McCain roadshow shows up in Washington and causes havoc amongst House Republicans. Can you say “implosion”. Gotta love it!

Reformed Maverick: Why I’ll Vote Obama

Posted under Politics by Bruno on Monday 8 September 2008 at 11:22 pm

I use to live in Tucson, Arizona. I remember reading about and admiring John McCain’s reformer agenda despite him being a Republican. Although his politics were from the right, he definitely was not a Bible thumping whack job. So I thought. Well after a couple of unsuccessful campaigns to be President of the United States, the political whore which John McCain would become and is now on the Republican ticket is best illustrated in the report below. Enjoy.

Your Holding The Glass Wrong Hillary!

Posted under Politics,Vino by Bruno on Friday 22 February 2008 at 1:57 am

During a recent break in the Primary action, Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton poured herself a glass of red wine and talked to the traveling press aboard Air Force One. Seems the topic of conversation before centering on the primaries was about Hillary’s choice in booze. Hillary mentioned she had a preference for Ales, in particular Blue Moon Belgian Ale. Its great to see this side of a public figure, I just wish the article dove more into what wines Bubba and Hillary prefer. Well, if the primaries continue to progress the way they are and Barrak Obama wins the Democratic nomination, I’m gonna have to buy me a couple of six packs of Blue Moon and gain the nerve to cast my vote for John McCain. There, I said it Brian! I will vote for McCain because you gotta love anybody who pisses off conservatives the way McCain does.

Take The Pledge

Posted under Politics by Bruno on Friday 6 July 2007 at 9:46 pm

This is some real Liberal shit, and I like it. On the same day his son was again arrested for drug possession, Al Gore posted on YouTube a new angled campaign on the Global Warming crisis. Gore is asking for all the world citizens to join the Party on 07/07/07, watch some concerts, take a pledge and make a difference. I dig this stuff. I just hope they aren’t affiliated with PETA. Read an expert from Avaaz.org website. On 7/7/07, two billion people will see the Live Earth concerts–and hear a call to action to end the climate crisis. It is the first moment in history that so much of humankind has focused, together, on how to confront this threat. To succeed, this moment must become an unstoppable global movement. The first step is for millions of people worldwide to take the Live Earth Pledge–a commitment to stop climate change by acting in every part of our lives, from our own homes to our political systems. If enough of us pledge action, we will have the numbers we need to reverse the climate crisis and preserve the planet for future generations. Visit Avaaz.org.

Dishonest Dubya: You’ve Outdone Yourself

Posted under Politics by Bruno on Wednesday 4 July 2007 at 12:04 pm

Manipulating elections, waging war for unjust causes, unconstitutional practices, bipartisan witch hunting and now commutation of a prison sentence handed down by a Federal Judge. A Third World Dictator? A rouge African President? A Middle East religious wack job? Answer: All of the above! Meet George W. Bush, your American President. In what is a slap in the face to all who are judged in this country, all who believe in the Justice System, all the guilty and innocent who serve their sentences, Bush stepped in on Monday July 2nd 2007 and commuted the 30-month prison term of the vice president’s former chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby. Libby received four felony convictions for lying to federal investigators about his role in a White House leak of a covert CIA officer’s identity. And to add to the gull of this SOB, Bush has stated he is not ruling out the full Pardon of Libby at a future date. So there you have it. With the same disregard of Law as the Los Angeles County Sherif who let Paris Hilton out of jail, George W. Bush continues to conduct himself with the self-immunity and disregard for Federal and International Laws as his silenced nemesis, Saddam Hussein. Read More.

Unpopular? Govt. Mismanaged? Outta Touch?

Posted under Politics by Bruno on Monday 2 July 2007 at 7:08 pm

In what has to be the biggest duh of the Bush Administration, George W. summoned scholars to the Oval Office to ask “Why does the rest of the world seem to hate America? Or is it just me they hate?” Pinche Güey. Contributed by DBB’s National Affairs Correspondent.
The Imperiled Presidency Inside the Bunker. A President Besieged and Isolated, Yet at Ease. Bush, Grasping for Answers and Fixated on Iraq, Remains Resolute. By Peter Baker, Washington Post Staff Writer.
At the nadir of his presidency, George W. Bush is looking for answers. One at a time or in small groups, he summons leading authors, historians, philosophers and theologians to the White House to join him in the search. Over sodas and sparkling water, he asks his questions: What is the nature of good and evil in the post-Sept. 11 world? What lessons does history have for a president facing the turmoil I’m facing? How will history judge what we’ve done? Why does the rest of the world seem to hate America? Or is it just me they hate?These are the questions of a president who has endured the most drastic political collapse in a generation. Not generally known for intellectual curiosity, Bush is seeking out those who are, engaging in a philosophical exploration of the currents of history that have swept up his administration. For all the setbacks, he remains unflinching, rarely expressing doubt in his direction, yet trying to understand how he got off course. Read More.

A Bush, A Post & A Turtle

Posted under Politics by Bruno on Thursday 17 May 2007 at 11:59 pm

Received this in a email tonight from my Political insider, hopefully future contributor to DBB…

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to former Texas Governor, George W. Bush and his elevation to the White House. The old Texan said, “Well, ya know, Bush is a post turtle.” Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a “post turtle” was. The old rancher said, “When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a post turtle.” The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face so he continued to explain: “You know he didn’t get there by himself, you know he doesn’t belong there, he doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there, and you just want to help the poor dumbass get down.”

José María Aznar, Vino y Alta Velocidad

Posted under Politics,Vino by Bruno on Tuesday 15 May 2007 at 10:01 pm

There’s nothing like leaders of the free world leading by example, but when one sticks his foot in his mouth and is calous about it, the true colors of a politician surface. BTW, Tinto Pesquera Great Choice :^)

The ex Prime Minister said he did not like being told how much wine he could drink or how fast he could drive.
Spain’s previous Partido Popular Prime Minister, José María Aznar, has got himself into hot water, (or should that be wine?) over comments he made on Thursday after he was presented with a medal by the Wine Academy in Valladolid. Aznar told those gathered at the event that he was fed up with the DGT traffico advertising campaigns intended to lower the number of fatalities on Spanish roads. ‘I don’t like that they tell me that I can’t go at such a speed’, he said, ‘or that I can’t eat hamburgers or I can’t drink wine. Let me decide for myself – that’s what my freedom means’. The ex Prime Minister continued ‘The glasses of wine I drink, let me drink them quietly, I don’t put anybody at risk’. The DGT traffico head, Pere Navarro, said Aznar had been ‘irresponsible’, and that the matter was not one for jokes. All that was needed now, he said, was for Aznar to say it was perfectly fine to drive at 150 km/hour. “I don’t like that they tell me that I can’t go at such a speed” The association of traffic accident victims, ‘Stop Accidents’ described Aznar’s words as ‘An apology for terror on the roads’ while the Socialists described them as ‘offensive to the victims and Spanish Society which is trying to reduce the number of deaths on the roads’. On Friday a statement from the FEAS foundation which Aznar presides said that ‘at no time did he want to belittle the risk of mixing alcohol and driving, and that he was firmly convinced of the need to be firm on the issue as shown by the measures he adopted while in Government’. typicallyspanish.com
