Dear Leaders Fall Down - Go Boom
Tata takes over for the day:
Let's say you're a boy whose daddy cast a big old shadow you couldn't get out from under. If you're this boy, you grow up shoving lit firecrackers up the butts of defenseless creatures and laughing. Everybody says: "Boys will be boys," which is at least true until someone explains vertebrate biology and secondary sexual characteristics, but science is not important right now! We're pretending you're a boy. So you grow up a bully, and you bully your way through life, to the top of the bully food chain, where you meet the top ten or fifteen bullies in the whole world. As boys go, you've never had to become men. You don't listen, you don't back down, you never admit you're wrong, and every one of you has a little red button.
And one Sunday afternoon, one of you pushes it.
Are you thrilled when the world goes BOOM?
I think Bar used to smack his wee wee with a ruler.

This is too true to be anything but chilling. I hate to even think about my kids having the same nuclear nightmares I did when I was their age.

Sure, it'd be the ultimate orgasm for that kind. The kind that's looted and pillaged and gotten everything they've ever desired, and have no other way to be stimulated.
They're insane.

I'm still laughing at Fred's comment...

There's only one problem with your theory, Tata. Bush clearly was too much of a wimp to be a bully. Same principle. He toadied up to people, all the while finding some immoral outlet for his rage.

"secondary sexual characteristics" Ah, that explains it! Bushi was a cheerleader: "stand up, sit down, bite, bite, bite."
