Scene 2: Icebergs -- where are they when you need them?

Well. No icebergs.



I suppose the gods must no longer abhor arrogance, or else they abhor the arrogance of those who claim to know what they abhor even more. At any rate, there is no reason for the good ship Bush to not steam freely on in full disregard of what may lie on its course. The majority of voters picked W, not because they particularly approved of anything he has done, but in the ultimate analysis, because they approve of who he is
(yes, it is true "anybody but Bush" could have won the election -- unfortunately every candidate who showed up was a person). This is known as the "cross-country road trip" criteria -- would you take a cross-country road trip with candidate X? No one the writer knows can stay in a room if W is on the television. Being ambivalent about Bush is incomprehensible (almost as incomprehensible as liking him). Befitting a person who apparently stepped through some unfortunate dimensional rip from Bizarro World,



his execution of "unite" is consistent with the activity those not of the bizarro dimension attribute to "divide". He certainly is bringing organization to the society. We were an amorphous sheet of iron filings, and he, a magnet, fell into our midst. Now, we are more stuck to him than with him. It is not a good feeling.
