omigod, she's baaaack. The question now is Sully as Bi-Polar as his American Idol, President Crotch-Fruit? Seems so. In a series of somewhat disjointed essays our hero has pointed out that summer is wonderful in P-town, drag queens wear polka-dots, and that the Unelected One may not be the man of his dreams after all. Gee whiz.

AUGUSTITIS
...
This was the month in which it became official that the Bush administration is not interested in restraining the size of the federal government, but in expanding it to serve its own ends.
...
And when the president can say, as he did yesterday, that "when somebody hurts, government's got to move," you begin to see why therapeutic liberalism is thriving in this White House. Nixon II? The other aspect of Bush's domestic policy that is now undeniable is insolvency.

And then there's the war. I could forgive this administration almost anything if it got the war right. But, after a great start, it's getting hard to believe the White House is in control of events any more.

Well, we're getting used to the phrase "Shock and Awe." Herewith an invitation to readers to send in examples of how anti-war writers, poobahs, activists, bloggers, et al are trying to spin the liberation of Iraq into something that proves them to have been right all along.

Actually, in some ways, this mass lunacy has some potential. If this war continues as well as it has been, won't the anti-war left not merely be defeated but beyond humiliated? And won't that leave an impression on at least some of them? The younger ones, perhaps? You've got to keep hoping.

All we are missing is a confession of his decision to become a lapsed Catholic, leave the republican party and decide to go straight. And become a Baptist. Looks like our boy had himself quite an August August. If they bury his ashes on Cape Cod does that require an Environmental Impact Study? Toxic republican syndrome or something?

Oh, and WTF is "Theraputic Liberalism"?
