I'm reading histories of both Hitler and Stalin. The two were quite similar in that they surrounded themselves with cronies and "Yes"-men. They refused to consider other opinions and refused to accept that they could be wrong.

Not to imply that Bush is among those Elite of Dictatorial Bastards but he could be on the way. Considering that the branches of the Government no longer enjoy "checks and balances" and are under the mercy of the Presidency bears witness that our Democracy is nearing an end. That Bush could appoint Bolton by simply waiting out Congress, that Bush plans to get Miers on the Supreme Court without releasing records of her abilitiies, that no-bid contracts are still being given out to "friendly corporations, that the Iraq Scandal is back at the pig trough for more money, that Bush went out of his way to make sure Texas was ready for a hurricane but New Orleans...well, oops.

What will it take to wake America up that Bush may be the singularly worst President ever?
