I keep saying "and" and you keep ignoring that, so I'm just going to  
have to assume that you're stupid.

Yes, we know of the Biblical references, and yes we know about the  
Wasteland references—we had a group read, sorry you weren't in the loop 
—yes, we covered a lot of the topics your mentioning

						AND

we also noted noted resonances with what Bush did as Governor of Texas  
and took into consideration as well that Bush effectively overturned  
writ of habeas corpus during his reign in the White House AND was  
engaging in a recrudescence of the Spanish Inquisition while in  
office. Apparently you weren't in the loop for that one either.

Like I said . . .
