It's Getting To Be Too Much !

It may be obvious. It may be a little bit late to say it. But in America today, it's all getting to be too, too much for one person or one country to handle or enjoy. Whether it's two wars of choice or a golfer earning 100's of millions to hit a ball or convicted phychos being pardoned by serious presidential candidates from prison to kill 4 police officers etc., etc. it can't last. What's to do? Know your friends. Support them and your family and learn a skill that you can barter.

George Bush: A Clockwork President

Anthony Burgess' 1962 novel ( also Stanley Kubrick film) titled " A Clockwork Orange" has an anti-hero that resembles our President George Bush. Burgess wrote in the introduction," that a creature who can only perform good or evil is a clockwork orange. That it has the appearance of an organism -lovely with color and juice but is in fact only a clockwork to be wound up by God or the Devil for an almighty state".

And so Bush resembles Alex de Large. Alex has trouble with the truth and can't play it straight. He wont take instruction feels constrained and misunderstood if he's popular. Also Alex enjoys "ultra-violence". Burgess writes about a creature who lacks the human touch and sensitivity that follows from nuanced thinking.And so our President " doesn't do nuanced" and semi-shouts " bring'em on". And at the press conference yesterday continues to deny the tragic reality of the Iraq War.

We may end up needing a straight-jacket for this moron and a kind of " Ludovico Process" to try to get him right.
