Unfortunately, I will be unable to update the blog this weekend. So what I have decided to do instead is to give you my take on the weekend’s news right now. Granted, it may be a little unusual. But I think I’ve pretty much got the pattern down by now. So why wait? Here it is. Your –review– preview of the weekend’s news.

George W. Bush will say something incredibly stupid, like taunting terrorists to attack American troops or saying that Hussein and bin Laden are working together to build nuclear weapons out of an aluminum tube. This display of idiocy will undoubtedly include at least one unforgivable assault upon the English language, a pronounciation blunder I am sure to make fun of at great length.

The Bush-Cheney campaign will fill their website, their ads, their TV spots, and any other medium available to them with even more content focused on Senator Kerry. Kerry will counter the Bush-Cheney campaign by putting up information about Senator Kerry. The Bush-Cheney campaign will then criticize Kerry for running a negative campaign. Kerry will, however, have already clinched the votes of Americans with memory problems who will watch the ads and think that Kerry is the only candidate running.

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and all of the others in the Bush Administration who have failed miserably in their duties will continue shifting the blame for their actions onto the lowest ranking people they can find. Then, after offering up their pawns as a sacrifice to the media, Bush and Cheney will return to their impenetrable Fortress of Solitude where none in the media may look upon them and rest up after the exhaustion of being seen in public for more than a few minutes.

Of course, I could make fun of Bush all day, and I don’t mean that as an exaggeration. And you’ll read my little quips, maybe you’ll get a bit of a chuckle out of some of them, and then you’ll go back to whatever it was you were doing. Everybody’s happy because that’s the way it’s supposed to be. Except what I haven’t mentioned yet is the news that in all seriousness really will happen this weekend, the news that none of us should ever forget. And that is that by the time I make my next post, another American soldier will have lost his or her life in Iraq because of Bush’s war.
