Failure Is Not An Option

Heh, I've been reading Failure Magazine off and on since I think they first started:

We have a front-runner for Failure of the Year (FOTY): President George W Bush & friends. The Bush Administration "won" our annual FOTY award two years ago, and it seems destined to become the first two-time winner in Failure's six-year history.

On the plus side, the Bush administration is doing wonders for Failure magazine. Traffic and ad revenue have been surging now that Bush has countless Americans concerned about failure. Whether it's the Iraq War, the response to Hurricane Katrina, the CIA leak probe, Harriet Miers' Supreme Court nomination, the skyrocketing national debt or gasoline prices—to name just a few—people are increasingly equating the Bush administration with failure. As a result, there has been a massive surge in failure-related Web searches in the past two months. Naturally, many of the results point to failuremag.com (although we concede that George W.'s bio still holds steady at #1 in a Google search for "failure").

On the down side, the American people still have to live with this Administration until 2008, and a lot of (bad) things can happen in what seems destined to be three long years. At this point in time, it seems all but the most blindly devoted right-wingers understand the importance of electing representatives that will take this country in a different direction.

The bottom line is that Bush and his cronies have proven over and over that they can't govern, and I'm afraid that if this great country doesn't go in a different direction we may not be great all that much longer.

Indeed.
