THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

This item was on our "Duh!" page-a-day calendar this morning, and I thought it pertinent to our current national political situation:

Those to whom too much power is given tend to expect so much more. When King Louis XIV of France learned in 1704 that the British had defeated his army, he sent up a wail (since moaned by men with far lower expectations): "How could God do this to me, after all that I have done for him?"

Are you sure that's Bush in the picture, or is it the pissboy who looks just like him? (I'm assuming you saw "History of the World Part I" where "it's good to be the king" came from.

Unfortunately, that is the way he thinks, but in Bush's case, he still doesn't believe he's done anything wrong.

Tom, I own a copy of that movie... good stuff!

Yeah, Lizzy... sigh... Bush is so concerned about his legacy that ya just don't know what he might try to pull of next... ugly to contemplate.
