Default John Ashcroft Appointed head of the world bank

John Ashcroft is a founding member of the Project for a New American Century,and a leading 'Hawk' of the Bush administration.

He's an ultra right wing neo-conservative and has just been appointed by G W Bush as head of the world bank.

Am I the only one that finds this worrying?

This is a man who is part of a movement that tried to ban Sponge Bob Square pants because it 'promoted homosexuality'

where did you find out about this? I can't see anything about it on any of the main news sites. Last I heard the US had nominated Paul Wolfowitz to the post, which was a bad enough joke in the first place.

This is a man who YOU CAN'T DO A FUCKING THING TO STOP. Wherever you turn he's going to be there eating your babies, pissing in your beer and cutting the bowels out of your grandparents for money.

The United States' voting system is their own, you can't influence it, they're going to fuck you rigidly sideways, get used to it.

Gah,

Wolfowitz, Ashcroft.

Both as bad as each other.

Chose the wrong one as I was listening to the Verve as I posted it, unable to sleep for two nights running with Wisdom teeth coming through.

Anything for some sleep.

Nonetheless still a scarey right wing Neo-con.
