I don't know why I went with a wacky lacky to explain the budget, instead of Bush himself. But I had a lot to say about the budget and the vulture capitalism that was coming home to roost. It's a very topical piece with lots of topical references, some long forgotten. I hope this triggers some of the bleak memories and reminds us the the GOP was always this way, only less rude.
Alas, my venting was for nought, as the piece wasn't selected. After all this time, it still irks me that I can't just say rejected, because no one ever told me "No, we won't be using this." I'd have to listen to the show and check the website to see if it was used or not.
