Ted Nugent decided to show up at Rick Perry's inauguration looking like this(AP). Karena has a nice discussion of the shin-dig, here.

apropo of nothing in particular:
I realize that

there is only one core truth about the Bushies:

1.they think they're smarter than everybody else, and

2.we deserve to be lied to because we're a bunch of weak pansies,

2b.which makes lying to us all right, not that they care whether or not it's all right, because

2c.caring about stuff like that is something that only weak pansies would do.

Yes, I said one core truth. Not two, and certainly not three or four. (The way they count their core truth(s) is also classified. Excess curiosity about the counting of the one core truth is probably treasonous.)

Also, in an emergency, John Bolton's mustache can frighten all our enemies into submission.

Ok, two core truths.
