… where the good lord split ya, as my ma used to say back in Detroit. So I pass on this motherly advice to G.W. on the eve of his “farewell address” (as if we could fare any other way once he’s gone).

Someday, some lucky historian will win the Nobel with her theory of what the hell just happened, and how our society went apeshit — just as we were gaining the scientific knowledge and technological connections to come together and actually fix the world. I’m really hoping this decade saw the last spasm of religious cynicism and entitled hubris, but I think we may have just dodged a Millennial bullet — with, unfortunately, more to come?

In any case, Bush is so radioactively tacky that even typing his name has made half of you roll your eyes and stop reading this. So instead of continuing into tired diatribe — and hey let’s remind ourselves that pretty much the rest of the world went nutso for the past eight years as well — here’s a nice reader-generated vid that may be a bit over the top and overly familiar, but with Willie Nelson on the soundtrack how can you go wrong?

Let’s all “peace out.”
