26. I very rarely even USE the name "Bush" when referring to him.

Mostly "Lancelot Link", "Simian", "Bewsh" (imitating the chanting morans' drawl on Fahrenheit 911), "Presidunce", "Presidope", "Crawford Caligula" and any other such name that comes to mind.

I'll CERTAINLY never call him "President". The office and that term will now and forever be simply a paper title to me, thanks to this dick and his administration. ALWAYS remember this quote if you think for one second he's deserving of this title or these accolades; he serves ONE group of people and only one: THE WEALTHY. He's THEIR president, not ours, not yours, not mine.

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

I mean, zealous and arrogant shit like that is something you hear from a fucking MOVIE villain, not from someone in real LIFE.
