Call The Bread Police!

The American public is used to the incredible insouciance of the occupied White House in inflicting damage on the public in general, and the unfortunate particularly.

The public in India was not amused by the recent gaffe made by our cretin in chief in deploring their emergence from being an impoverished third world country. The Indian public joins the rest of the world wondering how any country can let such a moron run around loose.

Speaking to employees at a high-tech firm in St. Louis over the weekend, Bush noted that much of the developing world was prospering and that U.S. businesses could benefit. As an example, he cited India, where the "middle class is larger than our entire population."

But "when you start getting wealth, you start demanding better nutrition and better food," he said. "And so demand is high, and that causes the price to go up."

Overnight, Indians reacted with outrage at what they saw as a suggestion that they were to blame for inflation. Politicians lashed out at Bush. Newspapers excoriated him.

"India is not a net food importer. It is a food exporter. The assumption that prices are increasing because of a changed India is completely erroneous," said Manish Tewari, a spokesman for the ruling Congress party.

Defense Minister A.K. Antony called Bush's remark a "cruel joke," while an opposition member called the president the world's new "bread inspector." (Emphasis added.)


Of course, to the war criminals in the worst administration ever, their own decimation of another country appears like the best solution for any problems and the existence of other interests simply is not important to them. Cultures not like ours, populations that have pride in themselves, how could that ever even occur to the cabal?

Unlike the U.S., India has banned trading in futures in certain industries such as much-consumed chickpeas, to avoid distress, and is considering banning food futures trading. This kind of concern for its hungry and distressed elements is estimable, and would be a real step forward for this country. It is probably impossible for the criminals at the helm, whose injunction to the American public is "Go Shopping"!, to conceive.

With power in such incapacitated hands, the world is an increasingly poorer place. Our country's refusal to regulate the out of control financial community has resulted in huge losses everywhere. The greatest loss for this country is not just its accumulated wealth but the trust of the rest of the world.

Adding insult to injury by deploring increase of prosperity in more intelligent cultures promises to make permanent the loss of respect the U.S. has earned by electing these miscreants with the big mouths.

No country though rivals to the occupied White House the amount of disregard that is shown to the American people. We may never recover from the damage done to this country.

But I am slyly grateful to the shithead for verifying my outlandish conspiracy theories. I'm sure his smirk was 'on' when the said this. The 'you don't like me? Try buying some rice' smirk.

Never ceases to amaze. The family must be planning to relocate abroad after Jan. 20, 2009 - or live in the basement.

But "when you start getting wealth, you start demanding better nutrition and better food," he said. "And so demand is high, and that causes the price to go up."

Unfortunately, the point Shrub was trying to make in his inarticulate, ham-fisted way, is the point that the UN and lobal hunger activists have been making: wealthier nations eat more meat than grain, so grain gets shifted "out of the bowls of the poorest people into the stomachs of livestock."

It's not quite the same as saying "you people eat to much."

The higher up the food chain you eat, the less efficient it is. Something about the laws of thermodynamics. But that's WAY beyond Shrub's intellectual capacity.
