An Ode to Bush

[e_dog]

Dear Mr. President,
For all the thousands of people
you've killed (for to call it murder
would be impolite),
there must be some
whose existence, whose will
to go on living, is sustained by
their hatred of you.
You are providing a service
to the mental health of humanity,
an education in civics to all
those who thought politics didn't matter.
Is it possible to live off of hate?
Marlene Dietrich said of her mother,
who died very soon after Germany
was liberated, that she
was motivated to stay alive
just long enough to see the Nazis fall.

Now, I must apologize
(but not to you)
for the analogy because
it's rather insensitive to compare you
to Hitler, Mr. Bush.
Hitler's crimes were much worse.
If Hitler was the incarnation of radical evil,
and Eichman represented the banality
of evil, you stand for something like
the smug idiocy of evil. Your crimes
are more like those of Truman, like
a well-meaning guy
with inordinate power at his command,
who happened to be a simpleton
when it came to the Law
of humanity.

I think Bush is just followed his bliss. Maybe Hitler was too. Power may be the ultimate bliss for human beings. Didn't Nietzsche call it our most basic instinct?

If you call this type of "bliss" murder. That pic of Bush at the Wailing Wall in your avatar. Oh boy I could say that he's....sort.....of....doing something there. But best not to say it!!!!
