Je ne marche pas
A photo from Le Monde, 8 September. Our supine media gods would never let it run here. This man is a jerk.
At Sale Bête, I read that there's a march against Bush this morning, outside the UN. Édouard's going to be one of the marchers. "You can't just do nothing" is how I would translate his French - idiosyncratically, to be sure, because I can't imagine doing anything except sitting right here and writing. I'm still working out the personal consequences of Bush's second presidential victory. It forced me to recognize that there simply is no question about it: I'm living in a closet. I'm pretending to be as patriotic an American as anybody else. Well, I may like the idea of the United States, and think highly of the Constitution and so forth. But as for Americans - Gawd. Too many of them voted for the man.

Jerk? Jerk? That's the best you can summon? How about liar in chief, a rancid growth on the body politic. Bravo to those who marched against his appearance at the U.N....and speaking of the U.N., why is Kofi Annan still there? His continued stewardship is a disgrace to the memory of Hammerskjold and to people fighting corruption everywhere.
