The Anti-Bush Online Adventure

The Anti-Bush Online Adventure Holy crap! Check out the amazing Anti-Bush Online Adventure!

Featuring your favorite 80s game aesthetics and pop-culture characters (He-Man, Voltron, Hulk Hogan) as well as your favorite Bush adminstration boss characters (check out the Tom Ridge robot), this is a truly amazing specimen.

Make sure you play all the way through. Only problems are the completely unnecessary and inappropriate sexual humor.

Well, quite a few right-wing partisans are now blaming the 'media' for exacerbating the recent scandals, in which the current administration is immersed. Isn't it funny? What really set their teeth on edge was a remark by House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. How dare she claim that President George W Bush is - gasp! - INCOMPETENT.

If you happen to believe that she hit the nail on the head, you might enjoy reading my proposed version of a state of the union that the NEXT president should deliver. To access it, you need only click on the hi-lited hyperlink below.

Ha. Bush. Will you ever win? Oh wait, you did.

Please please see sense and have Bush assassinated, American people! He deserves it far more than your Kennedy guy.

Yours awaiting the day I am old enough to vote out Tony Blair,
