W. in the Arts.

I have ALWAYS thought that George W. Bush reminded me of Martin Sheen's character in the Dead Zone... That W. like Greg Stillson would have NO problem starting WW III because he BELIEVED in his heart it was the right thing to do and he'd go to heaven.

I have yet to use the software that Evan suggested to me to turn cds to mp3s( I'm a wuss and fear my computer dying again) so I was listening to a tape on Saturday as I did my cardio workout.

It was a tape of the musical Metropolis( didn't make it to the U.S.) and on came The Elitist Dance... and for the first time, I thought perhaps Metropolis was also a metaphor for what W. is doing to the U.S. as he gets rid of the middle class, and empowers the rich with tax cut after tax cut- and helps prove that you only have rights if you can afford a lawyer... I thought this song could be sung by any number of his supporters and friends on the Fox News Channel

We're the cream, we're the crust
We're for pleasure, we're for lust
All the fun has just begun
We are the children of the sun

Cutting teeth, cutting through
Life for me is death for you
Shut your eyes, shut your ears
We are the children of the years

And to us nothing really matters in this world
It's power that's the thing
The taste of pure sweet decadence
And the pleasure that it brings
A sweet young thing to hold
So we will not be cold
And winter snow will never come
And we will not grow old
That's what we have been told
It's always been like this
Machine built edifice
The power of Metropolis!

I'm sure there are more analogies for what what Bushco is doing for us, such as the 1984 comparison to W.'s power grab... how he wants all this power because 'we're at war' in a war that will never end because it's against an IDEA and not a actualy country( like Oceania)... but I find it interesting whenever I see them.
