The Bush administration has all the creative fire that the creative world lacks. In two years it has changed the meaning of "the day that changed everything" beyond recognition. In place of the old 9/11 it erected a new one, a work of art in its way, ingeniously created by the brilliant Bush team of makeover artists. Their attention to wicked detail puts them firmly in the school of Hieronymus Bosch. They allowed the country to believe in a plot line in which the villain is Saddam Hussein, not bin Laden, and the 9/11 hijackers were predominantly Iraqi rather than Saudi. The White House even manipulated press releases to launder the foul post-9/11 air in lower Manhattan into ersatz cleanliness. This is fiction on so epic a scale that were it published as a novel it would be a candidate for a Laura Bush literary salon....Government officials are supposed to deal in facts, not fiction. Artists are supposed to invent fictions that illuminate the truth. Where are those with the courage and imagination to challenge a government of brilliant fabulists at what should be the artists' own game?

don't let them upgrade our math. 2 - 1 does not equal 4, no matter what they say.
this administration has no problem blatantly making whatever it pleases up. tax cuts are an example of this. the middle class is more than likely paying more taxes now. bush says the opposite is true.
who knows maybe his bid for reelection will be denied.
i have a feeling i will be hearing his bumbling speaches until 2008. damn.
