The picture sits there like something from the wall of
that bar in The Shining. You know, the massively
be-pictured wall where the horrifying end plays itself
out in maddening, impossible photographic evidence of
terror? This frame contains something like that.
In the photograph is my step-father-in-law, County
Chairman of the Committee to re-elect George W. Bush,
with his arm around Her Royal Majesty Laura Mother
Fucking Bush, Arch Duchess of The Americas, Empress of
Iraq.
Yes, him and Laura Bush. I can only imagine what a
photograph like that must have cost him. I mean what
do you reckon she charges to let some
inappropriately-dressed commoner in New Mexico put his
arm around her and say cheese? I bet she has it priced
to the penny, and he paid. This man gave a lot of money... to |
Eva Braun

the Bush family!!!!
Man, they really do not fucking need it, but they get
it. From my step-father-in-law. Who is a racist.
He's constantly on it about the "Izlamazoids."
Izlamazoids?!?! Who the fuck is this man? A Nazi,
that's who.
At Christmas diner he starts up the conversation with,
"I think we have the greatest system in the world, and
if it weren't for all these African Americans and
Hispanics who just aren't trying..."
At which point the spirit of Christmas welled up
inside of me and I interrupted, "No, now I just think
that is wrong, man!" This is Christmas. Last year. For
me.
We got into it. I told him I thought "Compassionate
Conservatism" was a fantastic phrase that makes for a
particularly dirty lie.
At one point he called me an idiot. He also said, "You
know you can believe something but that doesn't make
it true, Happy."
I replied, "Ditto," all slow and southern like I'd
been smoking Marlboros and drinking rye whiskey,
though I had not been.
I am the Christmas idiot and he has a goddamn picture
of himself with HRM Laura Midland Texas Bush hanging
on his wall in his fucking house.
I hate this epoch of fucking history, man.
