Bush and his people live in a different world - a crazy, fucked-up world, where they think that what they say will become the facts on the ground, like some imagined magic ability.
What's sad are the large numbers of Americans who still believe these people. Their manufacturing jobs disappear around them by the thousands, their children are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan or returning with terrible physical and mental scars, the price of gas keeps rising, the housing market implodes right in front of them - yet they still think the asshats running this country (on both sides of the aisle) know what they're doing.
I keep wondering how much it will take for these Americans to wake up and smell the coffee, yet as more things pile up they remain asleep. It truly astounds me.
