keep it on the DL
Ari Fleischer, the president’s press secretary, said, “The bottom line remains the president is dedicated to an open government, a responsive government, while he fully exercises the authority of the executive branch.” Then why oh why is this in the Nytimes? maybe because the Bush administration is a fan of doublespeak and is doing everything he can to be like Ronald Regan back in 1984. Maybe. Just maybe.
It is funny to me that I find myself getting so upset about a president. I used to think politics were boreing, mostly because I liked to listen to punk rock like Screeching Weasel that told me so. It is just that they had a really catchy song that went like “dah dah dah politics is Fu%king boring” so from time to time I remember that line and have a butthead style laugh in my head, like “huh, huh, it is boring.” But for the most part now Politics put me on the edge of my seat. I guess what has changed for me is that after Politics the next thing on my mind is myself as a political animal and the reason I feel like I am trying to be killed. (rightly or wrongly) Things just seem so personal.
