"Who are the other 8?" That's a good question. I got to thinking after posting this that maybe the Ringlords are the Supreme Court, since there are 9 members and they gave power to Shrub, but I have it worked out to be Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft; I'm not sure beyond that; Perle, Wolfowitz, etc, I guess. I think O'Neill must be part of the Fellowship, along with Powell. However, the review in Time that suggested OBL even looked like Sauruman said that the Fellowshop were the Western Civilizations (To more or less quote Ghandi, "I think Western civilization would be a good idea"), so I'm not sure where the latter 2 fit in; also, if Shrub is Sauron, with the 9 and the EYE and Ari da Mouth, then what are we, since it is our nation that provides the cannon fodder for Shrub. I hate to think we are just a bunch of orcs. I don't know that Rums actually said that, or it was just his attitude. I just really loved the line about eyes like the devil's golf balls. A wonderful bit of writing. Gandalf Is Cheney still vice president?
