Thus, George will do or say whatever he must to keep power — as King of the US, as King of the GOP, as King of US oligarchs… But this quest for power (let’s call it politics) is framed by rules, laws, and institutions. What I would change, as the voice of all pursuits quixotic, is the frame. Begin by legistlating a penalty for graft and corruption like to high-treason. Perhaps another “patriot act” with a spirit nearer to name. For your pleasure…

I’m sure there’s more. Are my eyes open enough?

Bush is the president, in good standing. The Decider. Saying what he’ll do and then doing it. Considering that he has a little over 2 years left I’m wondering what revolutionary change you’re contemplating. And why.

But you digress. Why would you offer your blind support to King George’s wars of fortune and not to his home rule? Would he not give amnesty to your local huddled masses? I wonder which way those new citizens would vote?

They could deal with Iran and the Norks, and send a big fat Mission Accomplished sign pinned to Hugo’s ass on his way to Gitmo via Washington, if they and their chief had some proper support from civilization’s intellectuals instead of erudite snark.

Got any bright ideas other than knocking a hole in the bottom of the boat?
