Today I am in Chicago. It's really nice to be at home on a Monday after not being at home on a Monday for a while. I'm having some trouble getting my energy back after my trip to London. I guess it's to be expected, but I'm so used to just doing what I need to do in whatever timezone I'm in that it surprises me to find myself dragging.
The editorial in this month's Vanity Fair poses an interesting question: what if George Bush's seeming stupidity was actually a calculated plan to achieve more for this country than any president our history? What if his rolling back of years of environmental legislation was a tough love plan to make us take better care of our water, sea, and air? And even better... "I'll tank Social Security and lending practices so people are forced to invest more in banks and stocks! I'll destory confidence in the US healthcare system so you will have to exercise and eat better!" And, the most provactive suggestion, what if the war in Iraq was actually a pre-arranged pact with al Qaeda to provide a marketing campaign for future members as long as they didn't attack us again on US soil? It's an interesting idea....and one that could make some sense if I thought GWB had more between his ears than, well, just really big ears.
