If late tonight you hear a stomach-churning deafening sound that resembles squishy rumbling, that would be the sound of right-wingers' and fundamentalists' heads exploding around this nation of ours at the end of 2006.
Why?
Their beloved figurehead - in the 30's in recent polls - has just been rated worse than Satan, Osama bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il, Saddam, and ( horrors!) Rosie O'Donnell. In fact, Bush is rated as a worse villain than the Devil, Osama, Kim, Saddam, and Rosie - COMBINED !
Perhaps the fundies think the apocalypse ( and Rapture - or are they the same thing ? ) are upon us, because Oprah tied Jesus as the biggest hero of 2006. But then again, in the same poll, Bush is rated a bigger hero than Jesus ( apparently to the wingers and fundies answering their phones or using their AOL ).
Along with confounding and enraging the wingers & fundies, this article should cheer up even the most Scrooge-like among us . . . Happy New Year y'all !
