With or without the f- or n- words, the Bush presidency does not bode well
for what's left of US democracy or multilateral management of and
participation in the world economy (globalization, though I realize some
think it transcends US interests and is still a bad thing).

At least the Bush-Cheney portfolio is diversified enough to keep it
interesting: oil, gas and mineral fuels, construction, defense, and good ole
Texas beef.  Aren't there some major investments in China in there too? Oh,
and the religion that guides it all: the  rock solid belief that the US
presidency is always right because it leads the chosen people. I think the
potential danger for fascism is clear enough.
