		??? George W Bush thinking about stem cell research (09 Aug 2001)	George W. Bush at a press conference about Chinese detention of an American surveillance plane and its crew after mid-air collision between the American plane and a Chinese fighter jet (01Apr01). Does this man look like he is in control of himself, or in control of the situation?		Blow out waiting to happen? When a person feels frustrated and beset upon, but they are afraid to directly deal with the source of the problem, pent-up rage can build, sometimes leading the person to "strike out" and "do something irrational" to try to relieve the pressure.... This can be "understandable" for a child or other object of "adult" power. But for The President of The United States to seem to have such problems gives cause for concern "what he might do sometime" -- like maybe throw a thermonuclear temper tantrum....
	Bush Asks for Limits on Plant Emissions (22Apr02, The Associated Press, filed at 1:36 p.m. ET; "Earth Day") Bush said that, because he and first lady Laura Bush own a ranch in Texas, "for us, every day is Earth Day.... If you own your own land, every day is Earth Day."

			Photographically "interesting" picture of George W Bush. Not only does he look a lot like Dan Quayle in this photo (29Apr01, AP), but also the spatial relation between Bush's head and the American flag and the rest of the picture's background is "ambiguous", Bush's arm looks like it is a separate spatial object detached from his body, etc. The whole picture looks like a collage. Trompe l'oeil art, si, fool the American people politics, no! [See: another trompe l'oeil picture of George W Bush, standing behind has newly appointed head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, looking like a cardboard cutout propped up in the background. See: yet another picture where Bush looks like he has been pasted into the scene: E pluribus unum.]

(21Jun01) George W Bush has kept his tongue on a short leash since assuming the Presidency, so the malapropisms seem to be in remission. His petulance, almost as if he is spitting words at us, and his seeming bafflement when he is not universally showered with praise for every thing he does, have not ameliorated. He seems terribly disappointed to find that leadership by keeping hands off does not solve all problems, and that free markets actually do require government intervention to keep the level of damage they do within levels people will tolerate, be it electric rates in California or global pollution or Arab-Isreali relations or wherever. He continues to both want to give away the farm (massive tax cuts) and also increase expenditures on massive military systems, especially a likely unworkable Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) defense (weapons programs that enlarge the Military-Industrial Complex are not government intervention). One wonders what he would say and do if he didn't feel he has to at least make a show of pretending to mollify the Democrats, Europeans et al. Willingness to consult and compromise George W Bush demonstrated his great flexibility and willingness to compromise by agreeing to remove the word "national" from the phrase he uses to describe his ABM plans, after the Europeans objected: "For a long while, Mr. Bush's advisers referred to the project as national missile defense, which implied that it was designed to protect only the United States, rather than Europe as well. 'Europeans came to us,' the adviser said, referring to the first months of the administration, 'and the first thing they argued was, "How can you tell us this isn't de-coupling when you use 'national?'".... And it sort of stopped the conversation,' he continued, 'and, frankly, none of us had a really good answer. So we dropped "national," because they had a point.'" (Frank Bruni, "News Analysis: Bush's Easygoing Words and Hard Line Actions", NYT, 18Jun01) Read: How do America's European allies feel about Bush's notion of "consultation"? (01Sep02)
