On the whole "BFEE" thing...I don't buy it. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7620119)
So one reoccurring theme I've noticed in my time here on DU has been this accusation; EVERYTHING that has ever gone wrong with the Democrats and their agenda can be traced back to this insidious "Bush Family Evil Empire" idea.
Among other theories, I've read here that the Bush family was DIRECTLY responsible for killing Kennedy, getting Reagan shot, thwarting Jimmy Carter's attempt to rescue the hostages, masterminding 9/11, rigging at least 2 Presidential elections (this one I wouldn't dismiss, though if so they had a lot of help), in fact practically everything you could think of short of accusing Lewinsky of being a Bush family operative (or has that been said, too?).
Thing is, I have no doubt that the powerful and rich Bush family has had their hand in lots of high level dealings, but malevolent and crafty though they certainly are, I've never really gotten the feeling that we're talking about a family of evil geniuses. Far from it, in fact. I think they're dangerous in the same way that a stupid redneck teabagger (or more accurately, a group of them) is dangerous. Aggressive and selfish and mean and single-minded, sure, but capable of plotting all of these 007 type plots...and keeping them all so secret that they get away with it time and again right under everyone's collective noses, leaving even the conspiracy theorists baffled as to how such sinister minds can be the puppeteers of all the world's events so seamlessly?
I just don't buy that.
The thread started Monday and is quite a doozy.

95. CRIMESTOPPERS! Know your BFEE.
Thank you for watching my back, Hell Hath No Fury.
As I make mistakes, I've long invited DUers to let me know what they find that is wrong so I can correct these posts, my Journal, etc.
Combined with the information added by thousands of DUers, my hope is to make these useful fpr people who never heard of the connections to Secret and Reactionary Government, Crony Capitalism, Warmongering and Treason.

12,000 years BC
Caveman MarkNumbers strikes a rock against a rock, hoping to turn one into something edible.
Catches a small pile of twigs on fire. MarkNumbers squeals like a stuck pig and runs around like a little girl.
Trips over a pizza rock and falls on the fire, horribly burning his nether regions.
As other cave dwellers come to see what the commotion is about. He explains all about the Bush Family Evil Empire and how they arranged to have the fire start there, made the twigs be in that spot, put the pizza stone in that exact location and did all this to keep MarkNumbers from having children. But then, he wasn't going to, because try as he might, goats don't get pregnant that way.

79. Yup, the Bush family is the political world's equivalent of Kevin Bacon.
You can connect literally any event that's happened in the last fifty years to them by playing the Six Degrees game.

However, for your niece, if she were a member of the fictional BFEE, it would be "La Bush.'
So, for your puropses, it would be correct.
And, your story quoted by Alpha Mare is funny! :hi5:

It's like a hobby.
I've never heard of paranoid delusions being referenced that way. First time for everything, I guess.
