"The Decider": A Found Zen Reading

"I listen to all voices, but mine is the final decision," he said. "And Don Rumsfeld is doing a fine job. He's not only transforming the military, he's fighting a war on terror. He's helping us fight a war on terror. I have strong confidence in Don Rumsfeld.

"I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense."


My Thoughts Elevating to a Higher Plane:

He listens to the voices. He hears the voices. You'll notice, though, that there is no reference to the origin of these voices. Are they real?

Shouldn't we all just be peeing all over ourselves with the reference to Rummy "doing a fine job"? Let's see.... Where have I heard that phrase before....?

He's the decider? I thought he was the uniter... We actually have a President who has said, "I'm a uniter, not a divider," and "I'm the decider"? What in the name of all that is good and holy is going on here? When did our bar for who can be President sink so low that someone who doesn't even know how to use the f*$&ing language could get a second term?

My head hurts.
