    (1) In a parallel universe, George W. Bush is an amateur conductor of Mahler’s second symphony, while a professional statesman becomes president of the United States in 2001.

  18. Brett says:

    The emperor cut the air with his baton, and all who saw him exclaimed “what beautiful music he is making. Listen to the horn section! Feel the boom of the drums!” Nobody wanted to admit that he could not see the musicians or hear any music, for then he would be thought stupid or unfit for his office. Never was music conducted by an emperor praised more effusively.

    At last a little child said, “but there is no orchestra.”

    The Bush doctrine is really quite simple: You just sing, sing your song, you make it simple to last your whole life long. You don’t worry if it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear, you just sing, SING YOUR SONG!
