Poetic Inauguration

President Bush continues to use our armed forces as props in his pageant and they continue to play along like Ken dolls. Here the stage is being set once-again for lock-step and glory.

Expensive Party in Wartime

The production is billed as a "salute to those who serve", but will really be a genuflection to those that didn't. Our troops were sent to war with inadequate armor and would probably love to have the day off to attend 9 parties, but instead have to live in the filth conjured up by the minds of the Bush administration.

A more fitting homage to this President would be a rousing 3-stooges-like march/shuffle and nyuk-nyuk chorus, led by a baton-twirling minister of silly walks. People in the audience could show their backsides to the passing motorcade and midget-clowns could circle it on go-carts. Pomp and circumstance would have to be played backwards on Kazoos by a deaf symphony, and the President could emerge in a tutu and cowboy boots and stride confidently to the microphone, which would be adjusted much too low for him.

The crowd would hush as President Bush opened his mouth to speak, except for 1369 mothers that would wail in unison, which would be the signal for a company of amputees to slowly walk, hop, or wheel in front of the podium, and each would be blindfolded with an American flag and led by a proud parent.

Then as President Bush tried again to speak everyone walks away except for a small girl in a red dress. She gives him the finger and then follows the crowd, singing "You've got the whole world in your hands" as she skips away.

The President doesn't follow.
