Ideology, y'know

Bush was in my town-- Des Moines-- this afternoon, and since I didn't know it, I got caught in the security gridlock while trying to go to the grocery store (which is just down the street from the airport). When I finally got there, one of the bag-boys filled me in on the cause of the snarl-up: "The President's in town-- everybody loves him, right?" The kid had no idea how his smartass attitude cheered me up.

The day before he came here, The Great Hallucinator answered questions on the war on terror at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. This was a typical answer.
