1. I'd like to get rid of Groudhog Day
Then, maybe Bush would disappear.

2. Let's See...
Colombus heralded Indian extinction. Pretty tacky to celebrate his birthday, to say the least.


But, this is a country that has slave-owners on our money so we can look at them every day. And, they give them libraries and stamps and holidays and tell of their glory and heroisim in history class...


Then, when they catch some guy who's only got a girl or two chained in his basement, they wanna speak of how reprehensible he is. Gloria Allred would come out and the media would assassinate him.

But, Jefferson had 200 people in bondage and he is honored as nothing less than one of the greatest americans. He probably was, the slave-owning bastard.

Shit, Robert E. Lee isn't spoken of like a dirty, slave-continuing motherf*cker, he's some kind of great leader, too. Instead of some PIG who would kill his own brother to perpetuate black slavery.

Daniel Boone, Buffalo Bill, Davey Crockett were paid to clear the land of Natives, got paid for scalps. But, they are glorified in history and by white americans. But, they were savages. Beasts for hire.

They have them carved into mountains. Jewish people would NEVER allow any of their nemesis to be honored. And, I don't blame them.

That's why america is so f*cked up today. George Washington probably IS amongst the greatest of white people. Him and Elvis.
