The first lesson of Iraq: Beware of those who play dice with God.
  • Of Course, He's Arrogant

    Brilliant article. Of course, St. George is arrogant; every time he's screwed up, somebody's always been there to save him, whether it's Daddy's, Daddy's friends or the Supreme Court, or fate itself. Get bad grades in school? Daddy will get you into Harvard. Drunk driving and other arrests? Daddy's connections will bury the bad news. Mess up the businesses Daddy's money got you? Daddy's friends will bail you out. Goof off during the Presidential campaign, come off as a lazy jerk, and come up short in the vote count? Your brother will jigger the ballots. If all else fails, Daddy's connections on the Supreme Court will fix the law just for you. Is your stolen Presidency failing because you spend more time golfing than reading policy briefs? 9/11 to the rescue!

    So why should we be surprised that he blundered into Iraq? He's sure God will save him. But will God save the rest of us from him?
