The Fault Dear Bush is Not with Congress but with Yourself that You're a Moron

It's been bleak on the writing front

for the last few weeks.

It's been slow in the relationship department

with no new love to brag about or fret over

and now that Hillary has dropped out of the race,

political news seems to have leveled off;

at least for the moment.

So imagine my delight

when I logged into my computer

and saw the tantalizing headline

Stating that Bush and congress are at odds

over the cause of high gas prices.

and imagine the thoughts that raced through my head

when I discovered that Bush is blaming congress

for the ever rising price of gas.

I couldn't even make it through the article

before grabbing pen and paper

Well, of course, it's easy to see what this is about.

The blame game begins anew

Blame it on congress with a democratic majority

As if anyone would believe it's congresses fault.

As if people are too stupid to realize the reason why.

As if Bush could truly convince anyone of anything anymore.

Maybe he's that gullible; maybe he's that easily led

maybe his level of intelligence is so low that

he underestimates the capability and the thought process

of the average human being.

But anyone with half a mind

and any type of memory knows

when and why the gas prices began to rise.

Bush sent our troops to Iraq and started a war

without asking anyone, including congress

if it was the right thing to do.

and the reason for the rising cost of gas

begins and ends right there.
