Goddamn, This Pisses Me Off

Bush is selling off our national forests.

Let's be clear. This is nothing but a transfer of wealth. Bush is funding tax cuts for the richest Americans by selling off national treasures, and, given that these are irreplacable assets, no matter what he gets for the forests, he'll be selling them off at bargain basement prices. Those are your forests that are being transferred into new Hummers and plasma screen tvs and Juicy Couture sweat suits for people who are so much wealthier than you are that it's difficult for you to truly imagine how well off they are. But you and your children and your grandchildren and your great grand children are buying them their brand new Hummers.

Pisses me off, too.

I hate the mother fucker and would like to poke his eyes out with the deep green needles of ten thousand Norwegian Spruces.

But Hecate --
A guy from the Cato Institute said that this was the best thing -- the people who wanted the land most would be the ones who would pay the most for it -- it is the free market at work!

(Do they really believe this shit?)
