George Bush And Presidential "Ghost Mouth" Syndrome

Click on pic to enlarge!
George Bush is seen here with ghosts coming out of his mouth. Someone told me that this is a common thing with U.S. presidents, that at night they are often kept awake in their bedrooms as they choke on the ghosts of people who have died during their presidency because of decisions they have made. Whether the President's decisions were good or bad, right or just, all men with so much power must feel the spirits of those they have caused to die inside their flesh and they must choke on the ghosts of the dead. George Bush must choke on the dead of 911 and the dead, fallen warriors who so bravely have fought for this nation during the Bush years.

Have you noticed that the newly-annointed President Obama has been coughing alot lately? A couple days ago at a news conference he was ranting about insurance giant, AIG, giving out bonuses to its employees after receiving billions of dollars of bailout money from the American people. He started coughing during the rant and joked that he was "choking on anger." hahahaa. It was another one of Obama's charming, wonderful moments that make him so alluring but it was interesting to think that he was actually choking on the ghosts of the dead that the power of his office is responsible for. Of course he will not say this. He will not start coughing in public and say, "Sorry, folks, I'm choking on the ghosts of our fallen warriors" but those who are in the metaphysical, paranormal "beltway" know EXACTLY what causes the coughing. It is the dead the President is responsible for. Obama said just a few days after his inauguration that one of the most sobering experiences he had as President so far, when the weight of his office really hit him, was when he had to sign letters to the families of our fallen soldiers. In time he will learn to control his ghostly coughing and keep it confined to to the bedroom as the ghosts keep him awake at night and he tries to sleep during these coughing fits. The dead never let you forget and that is the way it should be!

Tacos, Underwear And A Failed Attempt At "Feel Good Art"

There are some things that even a tasty taco cannot reconcile. There are some things so horrible and anger-inducing and sad that even injecting a delicious, zesty taco into the picture cannot alleviate the negativity. And no, not even underwear can help, either. In this picture you see Osama bin Laden with his arms around a ghost of a fallen 911 fireman. He has a pair of American underwear on his head and a Mexican taco in his hand. I thought it would be interesting to try and make a portrait of forgiveness and unity. I've tried to align the victim with its murderer, add a taco and a pair of underwear and see if it would make me feel better, if somehow through art I could paint a prettier picture and grant myself at least a bit of redemption, give myself a bit of peace over the fact that our country wasted 7 long years fighting the WRONG WAR in Iraq to fill the coffers of despicable, money-grubbing, greedy corporate hands who lied us into thinking they were trying to save us from the "boogeyman." No taco and no pair of funny, humorous underwear on someone's head can make me feel better, can make me feel as if I have not been swindled and blatantly deceived by my nation and its leaders. Not only am I angry at Osama bin Laden but I am mad at my own country. A major element in President Obama's campaign was that of "HOPE" and I am hoping he will set things right, that he will be successful in Afghanistan, that he will set right the financial disaster the war and those corporate crooks have left our country with. I have hope that Obama is our man, that he is right and he is just and that by the end of his presidency the taco will lie peacefully alongside the underwear and I can look at pictures of Osama bin laden without wanting to scream.
