Man! Dude! Session #225: Texas Land Commissioner & Keystone Pipeline

(M)an: Dude! Who am I? I believe in A. I believe in B. I believe in C. How dare s/he believe in B! I will not vote for he/r or him. They are out of line. But I will. I have.

(D)ude: Man! Senator John McCain!

M: Dude! Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, is paralleling George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as the Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger of the new millennium.

D: Man! I reached the monthly limit of 10 free articles from The New York Times this morning. But, don’t despair, I was able to decipher the gist by reading around the blue box barrier and found the article as blah blah as Peter Baker’s latest Washington, DC novella Days of Fire: Bush and Cheney in the White House. You know, I want a transcript of the entire George W. Bush presidential broadcasts. There ought to be an encyclopedia worth of absurdities that George W. Cheney spoke alongside the list of all the American civilians killed in the Twin Towers and American soldiers massacred in Iraq II and Afghanistan.

M: Dude! Random House is the publishing house that is releasing the book this Tuesday, October 22, 2013. The synopsis provided by Random House extols that quote unquote theirs was the most captivating American political partnership since Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger: a bold and untested president and his seasoned, relentless vice president. Confronted by one crisis after another, they struggled to protect the country, remake the world, and define their own relationship along the way.

D: Man! John Grisham is far more nonfiction and significant than the political nonfiction at Random House. And, isn’t it interesting how Jeb Bush and his son George Prescott Bush are making their way back into the limelight with the release of the Peter Baker sleight of hand?

M: Dude! Penguin Random House is the joint venture that occurred just this past summer. Actually, the merger happened on July 1, 2013.

D: Man! Talking about mergers, Jeb Bush is speaking against the recent tactics of Ted Cruz and the Tea Party, while his son George Prescott is an outspoken supporter of Cruz and his insistence on defunding Obamacare.

M: Dude! These three and their brand of Republicanism is all synonymous. Did you know that George Prescott Bush is running for the office of Texas land commissioner?

D: Man! I wonder whether people still remember the report about the former United States Senator Prescott Bush’s business alignments with financiers of Nazism?

M: Dude! The Bush Dynasty is a result of war profiteering back then and into today.  

D: Man! I don’t understand how the major news networks in the United States protect the Tea Partiers and the Republican GOP. Specifically, what was the purpose of Byron Pitts sitting down for ABC News with Tea Party supporters who were visibly angry at the current White House and so visibly pleased and proud of their imbecile Ted Cruz?

M: Dude! ABC News and Diane Sawyer are basically trying to garner an audience via a literally whitewashed broadcast every night. This evening Jeb Bush eclipsed the piece where Byron Pitts sat down with middle age White American Tea Party and Ted Cruz sympathizers. The material was more appropriate for the History Channel than nightly national news. 

D: Man! We’re White Americans too! And I know we did not vote for Senator Ted Cruz or Senator John Cornyn. The last person  I remember having voted for and see ascend to an office in Texas politics was Governor Ann Richards.

M: Dude! We’re the White America that deserves to be heard on nightly national news! We’re the White America that needs to be vigilant and contradict the extremists.

D: Man! You know what I think in the end? I think White America is staring at a metaphorical computer screen in tune with Microsoft Word and the American Mainstream Media is deliberately distracting their true intensions by creating such a mad mess out of the evening news and the minority of racialists that make up not just the far right fringe but the entire length of the conservative wing span.

M: Dude! So the American local and national news on basic television and Faux News are strange bedfellows?

D: Man! No, the American nightly news and Faux News are such jarring distractions from the Microsoft Word screen on which we try to complete our daily chores, that without knowing any better about just how much less ink we have remaining in our printer, we confuse our hands to maneuver the “Print” button instead of  the “Save” button that are both located so inconveniently next to each other. Why?

M: Dude! I guess otherwise we would not ever accidentally lead ourselves to the point of empty ink cartridges!

D: Man! What about the point of empty-headed nonsense?

M: Dude! As Jeb Bush is creeping closer and closer to the prospect of running for the presidency in 2016, his son George Prescott Bush filed necessary paperwork in November 2012 to run for a state office in Texas.  

D: Man! So is George Prescott Bush going to be running for Governorship of Texas in 2014? I think he’s going to be playing musical chairs with a whole lineup of possible positions in Texas Government.

M: Dude! George Prescott Bush is running for Texas Land Commissioner in 2014.

D: Man! Really?

M: Dude! His campaign for Texas Land Commissioner has over 750 online grassroots activists working in Texas to spread the message of conservatism that has me hoping for a Wendy Davis candidate to go against George Prescott Bush.

D: Man! Really? What is George Prescott’s stand in terms of energy and fracking in his own hometown of Fort Worth?

M: Dude! George Prescott Bush has this to say on his website, I believe in Texas energy. I believe that we can and should drill now and drill in Texas for oil and natural gas.  We need more Texas energy and less Middle East energy.  And the days of false choices over the environment or energy are over.  We can do both.  And yes, I will be a strong advocate for the Keystone pipeline that will deliver a sustainable source of crude oil to market and create Texas jobs.

D: Man! What about Obamacare?

M: Dude! George Prescott Bush says this quote unquote I believe in stopping Obamacare. Republicans failed to stop Obamacare legislatively and legally.  But we can stop it financially. This monstrosity of a law must be stopped now.  Every dollar should be de-funded; every word should be repealed.

D: Man! Ted Cruz and Chris Christie have deep ties to George W. Bush’s two presidential runs. And, obviously, Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush are promoting a non-transparency in United States politics by unifying over their differences only privately while publicly opposing one another. That’s a sneaky and snake-like maneuver, very much like the Tea Party flag.
