Disney Forbidding Distribution of Film That Criticizes Bush (You have to register to read the story.)

Jesus.

Okay, look. I don't like Michael Moore as a person, 'cause he's kind of a big dumb dork. However, his films amuse me. Documentary or entertainment, Bowling for Columbine made me laugh, made me think, and made me roll my eyes (but in a good way). I've been dying to see this movie, because, let's face it, I really don't like Bush and any chance to knock on him amuses the hell out of me. True or not, I should be able to see the fucking movie and judge for myself.

This country creeps me out these days something fierce. God forbid you should dissent anything anymore. Now they not only want a draft, they're thinking of making it for people 18-34 and including women. And according to that poll on CNN.com, one in five people think those soldiers shouldn''t be criminally charged for what they did to those Iraqi prisoners. (I'm sorry, what?! If Iraqi soldiers had done this to American prisoners, Americans would be calling for them to be hanged or something by now.)

UGH. That's it. I'm starting a new fucking country. Anyone with me?

I'm with you!

Although I do demand some kind of highly-paid government job, involving the minimum of actual work.

You know. Two hundred grand a year, and twice a week I just have to deny the existence of Mexico, or something.

Done. You can be Vice President in Charge of ... I don't know, paper umbrellas or something. Just lie on the beach with a fancy drink and watch the money roll in. You can be on the brochures. :)

I hate beaches. I'll be up in the mountains, skiing.

(We will have mountains, won't we? I mean, you can't have a country without mountains, unless you're prepared to conquer a vast empire that includes mountains. Because, y'know, skiing is far more important than, say, agriculture)

Yes, we'll have mountains. And beaches, and deserts, and snow, and sun, and rivers and canyons and tundras. It'll be like a geography book blew up.
