Nero Had His Fiddle
And the idiot son of a piss-poor President has his bicycle.

What is it with and that god damned bicycle of his? There he was in China, maybe the oldest and most refined outpost of civilization on earth, and all that stupid son of a bitch wants to do is ride that god damned bicycle. Is it any wonder that he will have come home from his Asian trip without a single accomplishment? How can any world leader talk to the asswipe when they have to know that all he thinks about is riding that god damned bicycle.

Don't get me wrong. I think bicycling is a fine passtime. I think every kid ought to have a bicycle.

David Feldman is the host of a show on Public Radio. The show has a regular segment which begins by David asking a memeber of the audience why they want to be chosen to participate in the segment. Clever answers are given. Immagine asking Bush why he wants to be President. His honest reply would go something like "so I can fly arund and ride my god damned bicycle with world-renowned racers and olympic teams."

Is there no problem in the world not of his own creation worth is attention in his own eyes?

How did it come to this?

1. Can you imagine Nixon riding his bike in spandex shorts in China?
Nixon, that corrupt nutbag, is looking sane and statesmanlike compared to Bush these days.

3. Someday this nightmare will be over....No President

has ever inspired so many with such deep contempt for him, I think.
The bicycle is a symbol, I think, of his indifference to all the suffering his evil reign has caused. It really is like Nero's fiddle, good analogy.

4. Maybe it's all he's good at
and considering the mess he's made of the world, maybe feeling he can at least do this little bitty thing well gives him some badly-needed stroles mentally.
