Bush in the Aughts

One remarkable thing about this past decade is that for about 80% of it, George Bush was at the helm of the ship. And while it's easy to list the many, many, MANY horrific things he did to the USA I prefer to remark on the things he did get right, such as saving the institute of marriage by making it financially impossible for people to divorce with clear, rational thinking and moving, conservative compassion; or making sure the free market we all love and cherish remains unfettered by sludgy, momentum-crushing regulation ironically leading to more and more porn despite his "close relationship" to Jesus, who presumably hates nudity.

But perhaps most remarkable is that it took George Bush to finally move Bruce from his "I will not publicly endorse a candidate, even though if you're not an olive loaf you can prolly figure out whom I'll be voting for" stance to one of "dear God, I will come to your fucking house and play a 4-hour show if it means you will vote this motherfucker out of office." Remarkable.
