If the original Greek meaning of "Apocalypse" is "unveiling" - as I have
been told - this is close. I just don't think the Governing Party was
expecting to be about them instead of - remember - "the axis of evil." Thank
goodness we still have some good public surveillance systems - such as this
Maher quote - making it possible:
> Bill Maher's closing--an open message to George Bush:
>
> "Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no
> more money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another
> war because you also used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the
> rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor
> people. Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards
> maxed out, and no one's speaking to you. Mission accomplished.
>
> "Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and
> walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil
> company, and the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try
> the next fantasy job. How about cowboy, or space man? Now I know what
> you're saying: you're saying that there's so many other things that
> you as President could involve yourself in. Please don't. I know, I
> know. There's a lot left to do. There's a war with Venezuela. And
> eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over
> to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the
> vote.

> "But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you

> surprised that you haven't given *yourself* a medal. You're a
> catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty

> "On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four
> airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of
> New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't

> "So, yes, God does speak to you. And what he's saying is: 'Take a
