Today is FESTIVUS! Now, on to the Airing of Grievances...

[NurseLefty]

OK, I will begin...
GEORGE W. BUSH, I have many, many things to say about how I am disappointed in you and how I despise you.
You have taken your 'get-back-at-the-guy-who-tried-to-kill-my-dad' vendetta to the point that we have the worst foreign policy disaster in US history, there are over 1,300 US soldiers dead, 100,000+ dead Iraqis, a reason for any young person in the Middle East to take up arms to fight us, alienation of our allies, tens of thousands of soldiers with permanent mental and/or physical injury, and a cost that will BREAK OUR COUNTRY.
Oh, and I am not done - your utter stupidity makes you a laughing stock in the world - we all know that the scum that appears to work for you are the ones actually calling the shots. Also, virtually everything you do is detrimental to our country, be it policies on the environment, health care, social programs, women's rights...
Bottom line, you ingrate chimp, it is a tragedy that you exist. You are the least deserving of ANY US PRESIDENT to get re-elected, and there you are. That you have that kind of fortune challenges my belief in any kind of creator.
YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!

call me when it's time for the feats of strength. Festivus ain't over until you pin me.

[NurseLefty]

3. LMAO... Wish I could do Feats of Strength w/ *

I'd tie his nutsack in knots!

[drhilarius]

5. Actually, that's much better. Pin him...

then twist his nutsack into a "Support Our Troops" ribbon (which, in this case, will be blue and not yellow). Maybe then he actually will.

8. From a Seinfeld Episode..................

one of the best, ever. The Costanza's used to celebrate it instead of Christmas. A very, very funny episode, catch it sometime if you can.

[ClintonTyree]

7. I'd like to air my grievances as well....................

but you pretty well summed them up already.All except the economy. "*", thanks for ruining an economy that, up until your installation in January, 2001, was robust. You policies of "cut taxes for the rich" and "give the rest the crumbs", are at the verge of bankrupting our Country. Along with your insistence to totally gut Social Security and make that money available to your rich buddies on wall street, we are well on our way to said bankruptcy. But I believe that was your goal from the start. Bankrupt the country, write off the tremendous amount of National debt that YOU created with your asinine policies, then discard Medicare, Social Security and many, many more Social Programs that you Resluglicans have been been wanting to discard from the start.
There, I've said my piece. I'll leave some for the rest of you to dig into.
Oh, one last thing. GW Bush, you are without question the most evil, simple and single minded minded human beings to ever walk the Earth. I loathe you with every fiber of my being. My only hope is that history will judge you for who you really are, not the cardboard cut out that you're portrayed as at present.

Where should I put the Festivus pole?

[ikojo]

14. Mr Costanza...might I suggest you put the Festivus

pole right up the anal cavity of a certain George W Bush.....I believe he is hiding away in Crawford Texas.

[nine23]

11. "it is a tragedy that you exist..."

This statement says it all RE: "*"...

[LynneSin]

12. Here's my Grievences

To all you red-state, redneck, ignoramous bush-loving idiots

THANKS FOR NOTHING!!

[ikojo]

15. MO may be red but St Louis City, St Louis County and Jackson

County did our duty....WE are blue and oh so blue after November 2.....

16. the airing of grievences has become a family tradition here.......

wayward daughter is on the shit list this year.

17. "Fooey to the World: Festivus Is Come"

A cute article and some history from the NYT:

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/19/fashion/19FEST.html?oref=login

Excerpt:

To postulate grandly, the rise of Festivus, a bare-bones affair in which even tinsel is forbidden, may mean that Americans are fed up with the commercialism of the December holidays and are yearning for something simpler. Or it could be that Festivus is the perfect secular theme for an all-inclusive December gathering (even better than Chrismukkah, popularized by the television show "The O.C."). Or maybe, postulating smally, it's just irresistibly silly.

18. Kick

No grievances to air really.

[CitySky]

19. My fellow Americans:

While I have much to be grateful on a personal level, i do on this Festivus occasion air the grievances I have with many of you. If I am talking to you, you will know.

I am grieved at the widening gap between rich and poor in this country, and that you don't seem to mind -- even though YOUR family's standard of living has declined.

I am grieved that even though your family is financially ruined by illnesses they cannot afford to treat, you voted for * anyway.

I am grieved that you are so eager to sacrifice freedom for a false sense of "security."

I am grieved that you don't recognize what a great idea religious freedom was -- for all of us.

I am grieved that you will allow the march of American Empire to wreak terror on much of the world, and that you will continue to assiduously avoid knowing anything about it.

While I air these Festivus grievances, I know that I must win the internal Feat of Strength required to forgive you for all of them, for the sake of the survival of my own spirit. And so I will do battle, and wrestle with my bitterness and pride, disappointment and pain and fear. I am resolved to emerge victorious and continue to love you in 2005.

But could you do a little better next time, please?

[miss_kitty]

20. my grievances would get the thread locked

:evilgrin:

But also, what NurseLefty said.

Happy Festivus!
