Demagogue

Just in case people didn't realize it, last night's flood of pretty lights in Jackson Square that served as a etheral backdrop during Bush's speech were only temporary. About an hour after Bush left town, so did all the electricity. Why spend all the time and money to power up the whole square like a Christmas tree only to take it away after the president leaves? Why leave all the people who are still there in the dark?

I suppose this is what the world looks like through Karl Rove's eyes-- nothing is real, everything and anything is merely a political prop.
