How nice for us.

(hands over ears) "LA LA LA LA LA I can't hear you! Any questions about the President's re-election campaign?" White House press briefing, July 1:

Is that an actual quote? "... distracted by ancient history ..." Maximum peurility all around, thank you very much. Again, actual quote? "... America's American President ..." I'm sorry, but I can't tell if you're making that up (since it is so like those weasels occupying Toad Hall, I mean the White House). Anyway, that isn't what I came here to mention. I am visiting (after a long hiatus -- have you ever been on one of those? -- can be very relaxing, if the palm leaves don't blow in your face o'er much) because I was amusing myself about recent events. You know how Bush and Cheney are going to be questioned together, by the 9-11 Ommission? Well, for a lot of us that just adds merit to our inkling early in this misadministration that Cheney was really the one in most direct charge. (I really believe that "they" would have preferred ol' Dannel Quayle, but he was judged "damaged goods", so they couldn't run him as the front-stooge.) So I was wondering if we're looking at "W" correctly. Maybe he's really an "M" on his head. Think about it: martinet, marionette, and yet, maybe even Martin Marietta, no? Just a thought. Ta. (You can call me Fishmael.) I like the part of “feeling” of running their own country (which is distinct from actually running their own country).
