This is still America. Men don't rule. Women don't rule. Rules rule. Reminder to the Senate Majority Leader, a licensed MD, that part of the Hippocratic Oath reads, "Primum non nocere," which is interpreted as "First, do no harm." Frist, do no harm would be another good idea. How come Jeff Gannon keeps being admitted to the White House, even though he now keeps his pencil in his pocket? Anyone checked his blue suit at the dry cleaners lately? How sad that there will never be any gay divorcees in our society. On the subject of Hummers, could anyone possibly write Donald Rumsfeld? And does the country really need two Donalds at the same time? Could anyone but Donald H (for "Huh??") have proclaimed, regarding our bombing the Iraqi dictator's bunker as foreplay for what was to follow: "Killing Saddam Hussein would be the most ethical thing we could do." How long will our Cheerleader-in-Chief, the bully in our pulpit, continue to infect us with his raging terrornoia? Rebecca West: "All the world loves a liar. The explanation is perhaps that the lie tampers with fact and produces an illusion that we live in a universe which is not rigid, which can be adjusted to suit our means." While the present administration is in no way antitrust, it sure as hell knows how to inspire it. Being born again doesn't mean you get it right the second time. Wouldn't it be nice if government cut the biblical cord and all the closeted homophobes had the moth balls to admit to their damp dreams of getting into SpongeBob’s Square Pants? Thought police. Perpetual war. 1984 is here – 20 years late and way over budget. Devoutly to be desired: Here DeLay, gone tomorrow. Will the House of Misrepresentatives ever perform its long overdue ethical cleansing? Hard news: Doctors have warned men that the use of Viagra can possibly result in blindness. No problem. Most men prefer doing it the dark anyway.
