I don't want to post this in the Music group b/c it's political. G.H.W. Bush is being hagiographed EVERYWHERE these days. But he was no saint. Remember the Iran-Contra affair? He had his OWN Special Counsel that he white-washed....This song is dedicated to him:
I have been sitting in my little world listening and reading all the praises as to what a great man, what a wonderful President, so classy blah, blah, blah. I really do think humanity is doomed. Do they not remember? Do they not read? Do they not think? arrghh, I want my my real people to come get me, I don't belong in this world.
Bush supplied two of the ships used by Cuban exiles, for the Bay of Pigs pirate raid on Cuba. He did this at the behest of CIA, whom he had a close association with long before he became its director. He also liked to brag about having started up his Zapata Petroleum Company on what he called "OPM"--i.e. "other peoples' money". Zapata Petroleum became a business 'front' for CIA activities in Latin America. He did indeed have a shady past!
I have a group called "children of woody" for political music posts

I've been aggravated by the continued white-washing of GHW Bush since he croaked Friday. It's fucking ridiculous.
I hate people.
What is to be expected of hypocritical godbotherers?
@FrayedBear Not much, but I'm still going to point out their hypocrisy anyway.
