It shouldn't surprise anybody to hear that I'm not a big fan of our president. My reasons are manifold, and I'll spare you reiterating all of them. But if I'm anything, I'm relentlessly fair, so I feel the need to speak on George's behalf regarding his recent troubles getting traction for his social security plan.

Let me be clear: I'm not a big fan of his plan. But no matter your feelings on the matter, it's an actual, honest to god plan. That is to say, it's not totally insane. Yet it was a complete non-starter because he spoke the truth: There's no way around cutting some people's benefits.

Now he's out stumping for his energy policy which goes a little something like this:

First we're going to find a way to shoot crude oil out of our asses, and then we're going to convert our old military bases into refineries. After all, we're going to need them when the oil starts shooting out of our asses! Then we're going to find a way to make coal stop smoking, and then we're going to build some nukular plants. Also, I think we should start driving diesels again!

Because this plan has no basis in the reality, it will find broad support in both the House and Senate. It will also enjoy the backing of the American people.

Bush is an idiot and he says idiotic things most of the time. But we're bigger idiots because we demand idiocy from him, and we're pissed when he doesn't deliver.
