I've got a good question for us all: how do we cope with life, when all of our lives and times are regarded as less than garbage by our leader? How do we come to terms with the fact that we will get no audience, no support, no voice at the top level of our government? How are we supposed to feel when the president favors not the simple, imperfect, human Americans he leads today, but some lofty, ideal, potential Amerika of moral purity that he envisions, each citizen being a perfect little snowflake? I'm not being pessimistic. It's a plain fact that Bush is not on our side. He still has three years left to work his wonderful magic. How can we bring to light the plain fact that the emperor has no clothes? Enjoy Summer!
