would be perfect for a little poetry incorporating "stain". I personally like "insane in the membrane, the stain is insane". But I clearly poached that one from (?). I always really liked referring to Bush as "shrub" but I think "stain" is more fitting. I know GG meant the "policy" (see intentional violation of domestic and international law) was a stain on our collective souls, but it's really only a stain on those who were indifferent and/or complicit. Lots of us gnashed our teeth, wrote/write letters, make phone calls, alienate everyone we know trying to convince them to stand with us in opposition to this stain, but to little avail. Nevertheless, Bush et al are a nasty stain on the nation's collective soul, God's creation, the rights of men, the rule of law, the functioning of the military, the political process, the english language, good taste, real cowboys, mountainbiking, beer drinking, the DOJ, the judiciary . . .
