Translating the President

Yep, like many I had hoped that what with all the demonstrations around the world this weekend, the public opinion—here and abroad—might do a little to change the administration's mind about the war effort. How silly of me. Bush seems so deadset on doing what he wants to, regardless of public opinion. That ain't leadership, it's dictatorship.

Yesterday, the eloquent one proclaimed the following to which I’ll add my interpretation gratis.

Text:

"Democracy is a beautiful thing," Mr. Bush said. "People are allowed to
express their opinion, and I welcome people's right to say what they
believe."

Translation:

"Democracy is a beautiful thing. If it were a dog, I would pet it. So
anyways. People are allowed to express themselves, and I welcome people's
right to say what they believe. But then I'm gonna go do what I wanna go do.
Yee-haw."

How dangerous is a small mind when it’s set so sturdily upon its goal.


This is the patent age of new inventions
For killing bodies, and for saving souls,
All propagated with the best intentions.
