Did you ever hear the late comedian Bill Hicks' impression of politics in
America, Joe?

"I believe the puppet on the right shares my beliefs."
"I believe the puppet on the left is more to my liking."
"Wait a minute--there's one guy holding up both puppets!"
"SHUT UP!  GO BACK TO BED, AMERICA!  YOUR GOVERMENT IS IN CONTROL!"

God, I miss that man.

do much with the auteur theory and 100 blank pages".-JMS

If you like that, you should go to Michael Moore's site (www.michaelmoore.com)
and watch the video he just did for Rage Against the Machine, wherein aliens
dispatch a ship containing a mutant to Earth, it divides into two politicians
(Gore and Bush) and convince people they're different entities even though they
say the same things.

I don't necessarily agree with the point of view, but it's still damned
funny....
