Ask any Democrat, and you will learn that every problem the world faces can be tied, directly or indirectly, to George W. Bush. Democrats have made a living out of blaming George W. Bush and the Republicans for the nation's ills, all without taking any personal responsibility. After all, why take responsibility when you can blame someone else?

Democrats won't allow offshore oil drilling and Barack Obama opposed dropping the gas tax, yet blame Republicans for high gas prices. Democrats take away Bush's middle class tax cut (have you checked your FICA lately?), have controlled Congress and the budget for two years and then blame him for the economy. Last week, George Bush forced me to max out my credit card, buying $10 cups of coffee at Starbuck's and a Wii to go with my new 80 inch high definition TV.

Global warming is, of course, George Bush's fault, since he is buddies with all those oil guys. Never mind that we all drive SUVs and other gas guzzlers (he made us buy them), or that major polluting countries like China and India refuse to agree to curb emissions.

The whole Katrina debacle was, of course, a plot. We all remember that he used a Jedi mind trick to force Democratic Governor Kathleen Blanco to tell him that the situation was under control in the days leading up to the hurricane. I was born in the New Orleans area, and even I remember as a small child that George Bush was the one who built those sub-standard levees. Even though we were warned as far back as the 1970's that the levees wouldn't hold a direct hurricane hit, George Bush was the one who kept us from improving them. In fact, I swear I saw George Bush blow up one of the levees by my house.

Since they are on a roll, it's important that the Democrats continue to have things to blame Bush for. After all, how else will Barack Obama get elected?

To help Democrats out, here are ten more things they can blame George Bush for.

10. Kenny Rogers' horrific facelift.

9. The Montauk Monster and the rash of Chupacabra sightings.

8. Sanjaya. He was a Republican operative.

7. Homeless puppies.

6. The rise of Hannah Montana, the Cheetah Girls, and the Jonas Brothers.

5. The cancellation of Battlestar Galactica.

4. The disappointment of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

3. The fall of the New York Yankees. Bush did own the Texas Rangers after all.

2. The Dharma Initiative was Cheney's idea.

1. Rosie O'Donnell, Doogie Houser, that dude from Grey's Anatomy and at least one Teletubbie going gay.

Once Barack Obama's candidacy implodes and he is not elected, you can blame Bush and the Republicans for that too.
