"George W. Bush is lucky to be Governor of Texas. He is unusually incurious, abnormally unintelligent, amazingly inarticulate, fantastically uncultured, extraordinarily uneducated, and apparently quite proud of all of these things." -Christopher Hitchens, October 31, 2000. Proof positive of what modern-day marketing can do for a person.

It is, truly, a proud day for America, even before anything good happens.
