What are we feeding on?

“Miserable failure George W. Bush"
"For two years, when Google users typed “miserable failure” for their search term, George W. Bush was instant cash at the top of the list, first for his biography and later for images. Pranksters built the miserable failure scheme, known as a Google bomb, after former Democratic Missouri congressman Dick Gephardt applied the term to the Bush administration.”

Scheme, by definition usually refers to underhanded plots with the intent to deceive, or do harm. This seems to be an appropriate use of that definition. Am I a huge George W. fan? Nope, I did vote for the man and I did, at times, regret it. But if you want miserable failure examples in this present administration, there are many, in my opinion, to be found.

Millions of dollars spent on bailouts that couldn’t be accounted for by this present administration. That was a miserable failure. Our government has had a pretty lousy track record of failure on many fronts for the last fifty years (that would be my lifespan). Yet our country has been a super power for all of that time. Maybe, it’s just human nature, and I know the old saying about the winners writing history, but when did we become so out in the open with our nasty tricks, maligning and scheming to blacken the other guys’ eyes?

You know there’s another old saying that goes, “virtue is its own reward” and unfortunately, only those who have it know how valuable it is. As long as we continue to accept this type of character assassination and dirty politics as status quo we remain bottom feeders. You know what bottom feeders are feeding on?
