How much do the morons on the left hate Bush? This much:

So let’s all hope the President has a great August. After all, not everyone is as lucky as he is. Some of us have to work.

These twerps are actually trying to score political points because soldiers are still in Iraq and Bush is going on vacation. These guys are f—ing hysterical, and not in a funny way. I will say it again- if you had told me ten years ago that there would be a Republican president that the left would hate more and villify more than Reagan, I would have told you that you were insane. You just do not understand the seething rage these fruity nitwits have for Bush.

BTW- That was Steve GIlliard writing that at the Daily Kos, and he is one of the more strident leftist pinheads to ever grace the earth. Here is what the owner of the site wrote last year about Bush’s vacation:

I don’t begrudge the president for taking a one-month vacation. I would take one if I could. Yet why would Rove give the president’s critics an opening in the runup to the Fall elections? Politically, it’s not the wisest decision.

I never thought I would say this, but thank goodness Atrios is back from vacation. Whatever you think of his politics (the word odious comes to my mind), he is a HELLUVA lot better than the Atriettes that were substituting for him. Welcome back.

This has to suck:

Thieves did more than just break into B.J. Miller’s tiny 10-by-20-foot rural home and make off with a few precious items. They took the whole house.

Authorities say it probably took thieves at least a day to take apart Miller’s small prefabricated home outside San Francisco. Its well pump and generator also vanished.

Miller lives in Berkeley, and the retired engineer was setting up the home over the past few months as a small vacation getaway place for his family.

He has put up a few posters with photos of the home, hoping someone will tip him off if the thieves try to sell the goods.

After three years of Hi-Speed internet access both at home and at work, let me tell you that dialing into the internet at 56k is just bloody awful. I am dog-sitting at my folks, and there is no Hi-Speed access here. Only two more weeks…

A remarkably balanced piece on the Congo from Mac Diva is an interesting read.
