1. Bush a n[N]azi? Depends on your definition which can be 
strong (ADL), semi-strong or weak.
2. George II's plans are obvious: turn back the  New Deal, 
privatize the public goods and institute a faith-based foreign policy.
3. The mention of a Poisson distribution stood sore thumbwise 
in my reading of GR because it is counterintuitive to a naive 
view. I think the text does state that some characters supposed 
the V2 location impacts were meaningful but I don't believe 
that the text misleads the reader in expecting this.
