Bush's Jacobean Tragedy
The old English major in me really appreciated this article by Gary Kimya for Salon:
http://www.salon.com/opinion/kamiya/2007/01/09/revenge/index.html
I wasn't overly impressed by his"Old Testament God = vengeance/New Testament God= forgiveness" false dichotomy (cripes, dude, ever read the Gospel of Matthew?), but he's obviously a literary type, not a religious scholar.
It's good stuff.
I am not even turning on the television tonight lest I see the Leering Chimp on some random newscast.
Thanks to my cousin Matthew for the article.
