Political Aspirations

Yeterday that idiot Bush took his helicopter to the airport, flew AirForce1 out to his photo opp, and drove in his SUV out to talk about the wetlands. Please, don't get me started on wetlands. Here in SoCal I lived for seven years near a wonderful place, the Ballona wetlands, whose prime location has made developers salivate for twenty years. In spite of Indian burial grounds, the poor least tern, and just being a wonderful buffer zone between the city and the beach, the whole place will soon be filled with yuppies ignoring their Wolf ranges and SubZero freezers to look at the ocean and talk about how "in touch" they are with things.
Bush's trip, by CNN's estimation, burned 1800 gals of fuel.

The jerk Kerry, not to be outdone, flew from New Orleans to Houston, where he stood in front of a bunch of new style green posters (no telling what resources were wasted in their production) to give a speech. Instead of telling us his plan, he merely and cheaply lambasted the current administration.
By the time he returned to Washington with his entourage and security (a fifteen SUV train), he'd burned 5,000 gallons of fuel.

Oh, yeah, the two party system works wonders.
