    Bush Administration as Blank Parody

    In a better world, I would read this article and think it was pure satire. Or, perhaps, this would be some poorly xeroxed tract left under my car's wiper blades. After Bush II, however, no caper, scandal, abuse of power or irrationality seems beyond the realm of possibility. Bush has made me what I never wanted to be: earnest. It can't get any worse, can it?
