More about the pyramid of power
Arianna Huffington, that red-headed goddess of blogdom, puts in her two drachmas about the Bush lie-berry. And here it is.
Excerpt of La Huff:
Will there be a Heckuva Job Memorial Wing saluting W's sterling political appointments? A Hurricane Katrina Photo Gallery, with each image housed in its own airplane window frame? An exact recreation of Dick Cheney's secure undisclosed location (try to step inside and a recording of the Veep tells you to "Go fuck yourself!")?
Will visitors to the Iraq War Wing be handed rose-colored glasses before entering and having flowers thrown at their feet? Or will they don blinders as they stagger forward, sinking deeper into a man-made quagmire?
Will there be exhibits on waterboarding, illegal wiretapping, and the quaintness of the Geneva Conventions? A room devoted to the nobility and greatness of the Hanging Chad? A holographic image of Osama bin Laden (try and grab him and he slips right through your hands)? The Abu Ghraib Game Room (must be over 18 to enter)?
Dave Letterman weighed in tonight, too. Re: the library's "think tank." Said Dave, "Because when you think George W. Bush, you think thinking."

Calvin (Bud) Marshall Trillin (born in Kansas City, Missouri, December 5, 1935) is an American journalist, humorist, and novelist. He is best known for his humorous writings about food and eating, but he has also written much serious journalism, comic verse, and several books of fiction. Trillin attended public schools in Kansas City and went on to Yale University, where he served as chairman of the Yale Daily News and became a member of Scroll and Key before graduating in 1957; he later served as a trustee of the university. After a stint in the U.S. Army, he worked as a reporter for Time magazine before joining the staff of The New Yorker in 1963. His reporting for The New Yorker on the racial integration of the University of Georgia was published in his first book, sportsbook, An Education in Georgia. He wrote the magazine’s “U.S. Journal” series from 1967 to 1982, covering local events both serious and quirky throughout the United States.
He has also written for The Nation magazine. He began with a column called "Variations" (which lasted from the April 1, 1978, issue to the April 5, 1980 issue) which appeared in the magazine once every three issues. He then wrote a column called "Uncivil Liberties" (named after an article he wrote) from the March 10, 1984, issue to the May 28, 1990, issue. His humor columns for The Nation, and other publications, often made fun of the editor of the time, Victor Navasky. (In fact, his first and last "Variations" column were about "the wily and parsimonious" Navasky.) From the July 2, 1990 issue of The Nation to today, Trillin has written his weekly "Deadline Poet" column - humorous poems about current events. Trillin has (by far) written more pieces for The Nation than any other single person.
