Gentleman's C

Check out BAD ATTITUDES: Gilded Youth for an account of Harvard Business School student George W. Bush: in summary, he was a smug little rich kid who lacked any sense of introspection, he accused poor people of "being lazy", and blasted the New Deal as "socialistic."

Regarding the New Deal: Anyone that can't get the critical point--that it literally saved the system--is too stupid to be president.

And am I the only person who wants to throw a brick at the TV whenever I hear about Bush's supposed "likeability?" Bullshit. Bush is about as likeable as a drunk who won't leave you alone, but insists on barking things like "hey, pull my finger" at you while at the same time mugging and slapping everyone's back. Ugh. What a crock.

Remember: con artists are likeable too.

I forget if it was Wordsworth or Blake--I'm pretty sure it was one or the other--who wrote, "The child makes the man, like morning makes the day." No shit.

(I'm guessing it was Blake--I recall seeing a print of the piece that was illuminated in Blake's style--but I could be wrong).
