You Know Your Pants are on Fire When
You know what everyone thinks of your standards of truthfulness when the BBC, an outfit known for stuffy language and by-the-book reporting, uses irony quotes to report that your military records have been “found”:
Bush 1972 Payroll Records 'Found'
Earlier this month the Pentagon said it had inadvertently destroyed the documents, but a spokesman said they have been found in the city of Denver.
You know, those records that were reported as having been “inadvertently destroyed.” Even more miraculously, the newly “found” records don’t offer any proof that Bush served any time with the Alabama Guard in the summer of 1972.
And frankly, even if he did, are people going to turn around and forget that the fact that he was in the guard at all, and thus out of the draft, was an incredible expression of privilege. Because his last name was Bush, he was jumped to the front of a hundreds long waiting list .

Lost. Found. Lost. Found. Lost. Found. This is worse than she loves me, she loves me not. I don't care at this point whether they find any of his records or not. No one but Gracie could believe anything the Bushites say or do at this point. Gracie Allen, of course, but most of you are probably too young for this reference. She was adorable but very gullible, though her television character was definitely smarter than George-43 without a doubt. She even made more sense than Bush-43, and those cute stories she told about her relatives certainly were preferrable to hearing about Jeb et al.
How many of these mindless and endless Bush trailers that never go away are we as a people expected to endure? Will George ever go away?
Never?
Sincerely,
Old & In The Way
