"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars..." [View All]

[baldguy]

"...enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting." - Gen. George C. Patton

===========================

I think we need something different in this day and age. A Secret Service agent should stand behind the President. Every time the President tells a lie (meaning: a statement which is contrary to the public record), the agent should perpetrate some small humiliation on him: a pie in the face, a bucket of water over his head, hit him in the head with a clown's foam hammer, etc. If the President can get through an address unmolested, then we can be sure of his veracity.

I fear that several instances would arise each day where Bush would have to extinguish flaming bags of dog poo set on his desk.
