George W Bush: "I can't help Californians because their towns have Spanish names".
George W Bush: "I can't help Californians because their towns have Spanish names".

In an interview today pResident Bush was asked about committing help for the wildfires ravaging Southern California.

pResident Bush responded with these words:

"Well, you see, I can't really do anything to help because all their cities and towns have Spanish sounding names. If they were good Americans they would have pressured their town leaders to change the names. Take "Santa Barbara", for instance. It's spanish for "Saint Barbara", and if they weren't such unpatriotic Americans, they'd change the name to Saint Barbara in honor of my mommy and my daughter. California is real lucky to have that Terminator guy for their Governor because they're too liberal to know what they really want. This is America, and our towns and cities need to have good American names. I'll be asking Congress for 52 Billion dollars to protect our Homeland from Spanish named towns & cities in my new Nationwide "War on Spanish Named Towns". God Bless Blackwater!"

The link does have "foxnews" in the title so it must not be true.

3. You wanna know how I know that he didn't actually say that?
No way he could ever string together that many coherent sentences in a row.

I can tell you've never read The Fifth Sacred Thing.
In that novel, once the Christian Fundamentalists "stewards"
sieze control of Southern California, one of the first things
they do is criminalize the use of the Spanish language and
anglicize all the names, so "Angel City" becomes their
home base.

8. No I've never read that before.
I posted a theory about Earths origins before and someone said it sounded like some movie.. i think it was "red planet" or red something or other, but I had never seen it before either...
