I can understand why Laura Bush would not display the subversive ornament even though I agree with the artist's sentiments. It is naive to expect that this White House would break from their penchant to squelch dissenting opinions---yet how tacky to require patriotic ornaments in the first place! Can't we, just once, get away from all the phony patriotism! Bush bandied around the word, democracy, until he gave it bad name. Everything he does is slathered over with pretense and I am so tired of it. I utterly can't wait until he is out of office. He has sullied America's image and it is going to be very difficult to restore our good name.
