Haunted Empire

And travelers now within that valley,
Through the red-litten windows, see
Vast forms that move fantastically
To a discordant melody;
While, like a rapid ghastly river
Through the pale door,
A hideous throng rush out forever
And laugh -- but smile no more.
~~Verse VI, The Haunted Palace, by Edgar Allen Poe

11/15/04 "ICH" "The people have spoken," Bush gloated on Nov.4 to an ecstatic White House press corps. "The voters of America set the direction of our nation for the next four years...They've given me political capital -- and I'm gonna spend it."

Four days later, after shifting the blame for what he was about to do onto the people -- after announcing he had the "will of the people at his back," Bush celebrated by grabbing a giant firecracker, ramming it into the mouth of Fallujah, and firing it up. The explosion was heard around the world.

Now, standing there admidst the flames, impervious to the shrieks of the fallen, reveling in his new, ill-gotten four-year "erection," Bush arrogantly invokes the name of God as he pushes the terrified people of Iraq out of their homes, their cities -- pushes them out of their lives and off the face of the Earth. In his pathologically unbalanced mind-set, Bush believes he is above the law of cause and effect -- he can do no wrong -- his gut feelings supersede all logic and reason and humanity

3. Very interesting and pointed

He points out things that others have not, like how Bush STILL manages to frame his position so it won't be his fault no matter what.
