Securing The Bushes -Hunter Thompson
The good doctor is back:

My friend Cromwell called from Washington last night and invited me to accompany President Bush on his long-awaited visit to the Olympic Games in Greece this summer.

"We're trying to keep it a secret," he said, "so keep this news to yourself until we give the OK. But I thought you should know immediately."


"Thank you for tipping me off," I said. "But traveling to Athens with the President of the United States is not what I really want to do right now. Are you nuts?"

<snip>

My final prediction for today is that the U.S. will not send any teams to the Olympic Games this year. And the World Series will also be canceled or at least postponed for a National Security emergency that will never be explained in public until long after George Bush is gone from the White House, which will happen in early November -- or at least before Groundhog Day next year.

<snip>

3. So good luck
"So good luck and drink all the cold beer you can get your hands on for as long as necessary to guarantee victory and lasting peace in the nation and the world."

I like the way he thinks!

5. From another thread

9. For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.

Thus pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. It is bad because life is permanent warfare. This, however, brings about an Armageddon complex. Since enemies have to be defeated, there must be a final battle, after which the movement will have control of the world. But such "final solutions" implies a further era of peace, a Golden Age, which contradicts the principle of permanent war. No fascist leader has ever succeeded in solving this predicament.
