True, there were statemen (Franklin), historians (Beard), and authors (London) who foresaw our descent into despotism, but I'm kinda miffed that the Fourth Reich's figurehead is George W. Bush.

Damn it, if you're going to rule over me, could you at least be my intellectual superior (not a difficult feat--I'm 22)? Could you at least be as interesting?

Seriously, if we were to have a dictator, I would have preferred said man to have a certain grand mystique: brooding in the shadows of the Oval Office, quoting Milton before a captive audience, referring to himself in the third person, adorning himself in a wardrobe that just oozed class...

No, we have a guy who wore F@#%ing cowboy boots with a tuxedo!!!!!!!

I want Dr. Doom, not a malevolent amalgam of Gomer Pyle and "Animal House's" Bluto Blutarsky; a vapid creature who traded thirty years of hedonism (drinking, screwing, snorting) for Christian Dominionism (even his theology lacks complexity--Oliver Cromwell would be very disappointed).

I want a different tyrant!!!!!!

1. I've been saying that for four years. Something to the effect that
the only time * told the truth intentionally was when he said "Ah'm jes' a reg'lar guy; jes' a ordinary Joe Six-Pack like all y'all."

One thing * is, is ORDINARY. There is nothing at all about him that is in any way extraodinary, superior, excellent, remarkable, grand, awe-inspiring or marvelous.

He's so damn banal, ordinary, mediocre, tacky, half-assed and pathetic. Why did he have to be in charge of this once-great country?????????? :cry:
