Bush Finds Vindimacation
(WC) - Public pronouncements that "things were done wrong" have been deemed "politicization" according to a new study, which states that the correct terminology is "things have gone wrong," or more to the point, "things are going exactly as

planned." The findings, published by Warner Trotter Franklin and Associates, are expected to impact the upcoming election in a big way. "We found that when topics are discussed in public, it's easy to cross the line between useful concern and shameful politicization," explained WTF's Harry Dropgood, who is also a Reverend at the First Holy Church of Armageddon Accelerationists. "As soon as you mention negative impacts in


relation to official policy, you've crossed that line."
"I think the word is vindimacated," president Bush said after being informed of the study. "Then again, maybe the word is vinduperative, I'm not sure." Bush was referring to the fact that people are using


criticisms of his policies as campaign issues for the coming election. "People have to remember what happened on September 11 and that we're fighting a war on terrrr," the president explained.
Clark Borrs disagrees with the conclusions, at least in part.


"It depends on how deeply the subject resonates with the public." Some topics may be criticized at length he said, such as "should the president have pushed harder for Beryl Street's nomination as the assistant undersecretary to the alternate US ambassador for The Marshall Islands?" But topics deliberately
used to adversely affect voting outcomes are off limits, like "why the heck was the president walking around


Baghdad Airport with a plastic turkey on Thanksgiving?"
"outrageously legitimate criticisms"
The problem apparently is that neither side wants outrageously legitimate
criticisms of their policies or positions to be used against them. Candidates should ideally be judged on their hairstyle, their spouses, or their youthful indiscretions.

So what were we to do when we in America were attacked on September 11, that infamous day? I say we should have done then what we never did before: stop speaking to the people we labelled our enemies and start listening to them. Stop giving preconditions to our peaceful coexistence on this small planet, and start honouring and respecting every human's need to live free and autonomously, to truly respect the sovereignty of every state. To stop making up rules by which others must live and then separate rules for ourselves.
