18. Nah. Nothing with dictator in it.
While it's fun to call him a dictator, fact is, he's just too much of a bungler to be a dictator. Dictators have to have brains and at least some level of popular support. Bush has neither.

More likely he'll be remembered for being a simple-minded former cheerleader from Connecticut that was much too small a man for a big job.

6. I hope the planet lasts long enough for him to have a legacy.
Edited on Thu Mar-09-06 08:19 PM by yourout
The next few years could lead to some very scary times for the planet as a whole and Bushco is responsible for most of it.

30. They hate his War.
The ones who do like it should be the ones to go DO it. That would, of course, include the one guy who decided to do it in the first place.

If one of my nephews dies, I will require a public apology to my and everyone's elses Family(-ies)! Regular public presidential apologies, every day would be nice, but once a week would be enough. I hope Bush follows my advice; he could apologize on his weekly radio show, every week would be a decent start.

16. Total upheaval
Bush's legacy?

Bankruptcy, complete cultural and societal upheaval, and ultimately, a more decentralized form of central government.

As despicable as Bush and his cabal are, I believe they will be the catalysts for this country's total re-evaluation of itself and eventual reconfiguration, prompted by almost total economic collapse - eight trillion dollar nation debt and counting, rising energy prices, the continued hemorrhaging of jobs overseas, a negative savings rate by Americans, etc. A decade from now, this country will be very different from what it is now.

22. Depends on what happens after him...
...if America can allow herself to come back after the unmitigated clusterf*ck that was his "presidency" with more capable leadership, Bush's years will be remembered as the rock bottom America had to go down into to be forced into reevaluating itself so it could rise like a phoenix into something stronger and more self-aware. If America continues spiralling down the path Bush II's administration has set, his years will be remembered as the ones that put in motion the ultimate fall of America by speeding up the descent into Third World style debt levels and the theocratic stifling of the technological and medical advances a modern nation would have needed to keep up with the rest of the world.

35. I dunno; those faces just appeared when I mirrored the Abu Ghraib floor!
There have been a lot of the 'Old Gods' who demanded
a steady stream of human sacrifices. B*sh seems to be
serving more than a few of them.

37. Oh yes . . . That's pretty intense. The dark red bit there . . . .
with the suggestion of human viscera.

Interesting, but hard to look at.
