[lbo-talk] mot du jour

[Jim Devine]

awhile back, people on lbo-talk had (yet another) fruitless discussion
of whether or not the word "fascist" should be applied to the current
era in the United States. Comedian Margaret Cho has the final word
here:

"Bush is no Hitler. He would be if he applied himself."

Of course, the second part is not true, but it's funny.
