2. brilliant
Mr. shrub was an evil pope in his past lives... and it is no surprise to me at all that he's re-formed his vatican in washtington... brilliant article... monbiot is seeing well.

3. Kind of like the Holy Roman Empire...
Combining the least attractive qualities of both Empire, and "Holy"-ness. (Who said the HRE was "neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire"?)

America as a religion is mixed up with the quest for power and glory. A good first step would be to get religion completely out of civic life.
