Bush: Another who fiddles while the town burns down

Here is a rendering based on various busts and statues of the mad Roman emperor Nero...

And here is George W. Bush during his speech yesterday...

"In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a stern-faced king, a master of intrigue, will arise. He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people. He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior."

-- Daniel chapter 8, verses 23-25

One of my best friends is fond of saying that "the eyes are the window of the soul". Folks, I see that picture of Bush, and there's only a pitch-black abyss staring back. No wonder he doesn't care how many people die in this war of his.
