The real state of the Union

No offence intended to my friends that live there, but someone’s got to stop that [moron](http://www.georgewbush.com/)  (and, more importantly, his advisors) before they blow us all to smithereens. It’s amazing how it’s clear to nearly everyone *outside*  of the USA that they’re being arrogant and irresponsible, but the majority of the people *inside*  the USA (a small minority of the people on the planet) seem to think everything’s just dandy.

The Independent from the UK has compiled a very disturbing list of facts and figures detailing monkeyboy’s term of office so far. Some samples:

2: Number of nations that Bush has attacked and taken over since coming into the White House 9.2: Average number of American soldiers wounded in Iraq each day since the invasion in March last year

1.6: Average number of American soldiers killed in Iraq per day since hostilities began 221,000: Number of jobs per month created since Bush’s tax cuts took effect. He promised the measure would add 306,000

1,000: Number of new jobs created in the entire country in December. Analysts had expected a gain of 130,000 1st: George W Bush became the first American president to ignore the Geneva Conventions by refusing to allow inspectors access to US-held prisoners of war

35: Number of countries to which US has suspended military assistance after they failed to sign agreements giving Americans immunity from prosecution before the International Criminal Court 58 million: Number of acres of public lands Bush has opened to road building, logging and drilling

200: Number of public-health and environmental laws Bush has attempted to downgrade or weaken

And it goes on.

If you, gentle reader, happen to know an American who voted for that Neanderthal (although that might be difficult, given that not very many people actually did ), slap them please.
