perfidy

Buckethead has taken exception to my assertion that his prescience in supporting George W. Bush's Middle East policy amounted to his drinking the kool-ade (or suckling the whiskey tit).

thanks also for your charitable description of my prescience in
re: to the growth of democracy in the middle east. I wasn't a far seeing visionary, confident in the desire of people everywhere to embrace freedom if they were only given the chance. I just drank the koolaid.

Or suckled the whiskey tit. Don't forget the whiskey tit.

In all fairness, Buckethead was an early and ardent supporter of Bush's policies, and I am very pleased to see that recent events seem to bear him out. If in fact he comes out on the right side of history and I on the wrong, it wouldn't exactly surprise me. He also deserves credit for not emailing me every time a Lebanese flagwaver farts with notes reading "I TOLD YOU SO" [which, to be honest, is his perogative]. His restraint is, in fact, admirable. Hopefully he will throw off his midwinter lethargy and begin regular posting soon, as my one-man-band routine is as strenuous for me as it is tiresome for you all.
