"In a time like the present, when demagogues seem to believe that their hour has come once again, one needs to speak out against them," Gunter Grass in Friday's Der Spiegel (http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,528131,00.html)
Of course, he was talking about his governmental idiots, not ours ... because we don't have demagogues over here do we? ... do we? How do you spell that, anyway?
Demagogue: one who uses "a strategy for gaining political power by appealing to the popular prejudices, fears and expectations of the public — typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist or populist themes."
Whew - nope, we don't have those here!

When asked by David Gregory about the current primary campaign and the emphasis on "change," George Bush replied that it was just politics, that if he were running, he'd position himself as an agent of change, too. Oh my god.
It's all just a charade.....
