&#8220;I&#8217;m with my closest colleagues at the top of Mt. Everest. Below us on the snow, or maybe it&#8217;s white sand, are thousands of bloody bodies. Suddenly, I see a line of approaching figures, armed with pitchforks and clubs, coming up the mountain. At first, I&#8217;m happy because they&#8217;re [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poac.wordpress.com&blog=379071&post=300&subd=poac&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

As a playwright, I pay special attention to the difference between words as they are spoken and the unsaid words hidden beneath the surface &#8212; what we in the dramaturgy biz call &#8220;subtext.&#8221;
With McCain and Obama edging closer to full-out general election campaigning, it seems an appropriate time to examine [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poac.wordpress.com&blog=379071&post=299&subd=poac&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Suppose you have a controversial project you wish to push through, but you&#8217;re afraid that if you come right out and say what you&#8217;re up to, there will be so many objections from other officials and ordinary citizens that you might never get a chance to implement your agenda.
But you&#8217;re [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poac.wordpress.com&blog=379071&post=298&subd=poac&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Dear Wolfgang and Jacqueline:
Finally some time to respond to your recent letter, where you asked me to explain the &#8220;crazy American political situation&#8221; and why &#8220;the U.S. is behaving so recklessly&#8221; with regard to Iran. Your terms are right on the mark.
First off, it&#8217;s important to know that &#8220;the U.S.&#8221; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poac.wordpress.com&blog=379071&post=297&subd=poac&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The political noose seems to be tightening on the key members of the remaining miscreants down in the White House bunker &#8212; mainly Bush, Cheney, Rice, Addington and Mukasey.

But will the Democrats, having been provided with smoking [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poac.wordpress.com&blog=379071&post=296&subd=poac&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Most of the books I&#8217;ve read about the awfulness of the Bush presidency remind me of the old story about the blind men trying to figure out what an elephant looks like. Each one feels the part in front of him and describes the elephant within that singular context.

In the hour of the wolf, we progressive activists are sometimes visited by nightmarish political scenarios. No doubt, dear reader, you have your own scary visitations. Here are ten of mine:

My neighbor&#8217;s cattle operation had a huge number of prized Black Angus steers and Holstein dairy-cows. I wanted them and the lush range they fed on. I tried making some sort of deal with the owner, but he was one ornery sumbitch.
He knew his Double I-Ranch was prime real estate, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poac.wordpress.com&blog=379071&post=293&subd=poac&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
