The vision thing

This archetypal transformation of George W. Bush from spoiled, rich pretender-to-the-presidency into the caped (well, flight-suited) SuperGeorge, Defender Of All Things Good And Right has had a powerful impact on the American people, and Rove hopes to ride it to victory in 2004.

For George to remain SuperGeorge throughout his term of office, and thus to pull the country behind him for an FDR-sized transformation of the nation on behalf of his corporate masters, George needs a war every bit as huge as FDR's WWII. *

Or a manned mission to Mars! Oh boy! I can feel the zeitgeist changing already!

Hey, if they want to spend billions just to walk around on dry red pebbles, they can come to my yard. I'll even give them a discount.
