		<description>Republicans shouldn&#039;t complain one bit.  Giving our president the tools he needs to fight terrorism is patriotic, don&#039;t you think?

Oh wait, he&#039;s black.</description>

		<description>&quot;Secretary of the Treasury: one Webster R. Skittle, president of the prosperous Fur &amp; Hide National Bank of St. Louis—Mr. Skittle had once been indicted on a charge of defrauding the government on his income tax, but he had been acquitted, more or less, and during the campaign, he was said to have taken a convincing way of showing his faith in Buzz Windrip as the Savior of the Forgotten Men.&quot;</description>

		<description>1. It Can&#039;t Happen Here

By Sinclair Lewis

Doubleday, 1935

A charismatic Democratic senator who speaks in &quot;noble but slippery ­abstractions&quot; is elected president, in a groundswell of cultish adoration, by a nation on the brink of economic ­disaster. Promising to restore ­America&#039;s greatness, he promptly ­announces a government seizure of the big banks and insurance ­companies. He strong-arms the ­Congress into amending the Constitution to give him unlimited emergency powers. He throws his ­enemies into concentration camps. With scarcely any resistance, the country has ­become a fascist dictatorship. No black helicopters here, though. Sinclair Lewis&#039;s dystopian ­political satire, now largely forgotten except for its ironic title, was a ­mammoth best seller in 1935, during the depths of the ­Depression and the rise of fascism in Europe. His president, Berzelius (&quot;Buzz&quot;) Windrip, is a ruthless phony with the &quot;earthy sense of humor of a Mark Twain&quot;; one of the few who dare oppose him openly is a rural ­newspaper editor who is forced to go on the run.</description>

		<description>#64 Bush still in power? Gee, that&#039;s news to me! And I&#039;m the one with reading comprehension issues.

#66 As pointed out already, as long as it comes from your handler, you&#039;ll spin it as good. The only emergency I see here is you not taking your meds.

#67 I see you too obsessed with cuba. Are you committed in a cuban mental facility? That would explain your perpetual conFusion, reality detachment and lack of improvement.

#71 Because you forgot to take your Haloperidol? Just a thought.</description>

		<description>#64, Mr. Beale,

Your points are well made sir. Don&#039;t, however, get upset over &#039;dro. He&#039;s from Cuba and they do things differently there. So he has no Representative to write to.

But give &#039;dro credit. He keeps repeating his nonsense until he is blue in the face. (I didn&#039;t say positive credit)</description>

		<description>As pointed out already, this is a measure so the government may react in a true emergency. Of course, the &quot;emergency&quot; part of this escaped all the irrational people, again.

If the government was impotent during an emergency I am more than sure the wing nuts would be screaming about how Obama can&#039;t do anything.</description>
