I spent a little bit of this
morning's coffee, trying to
rinse the grit from my eyes
of the latest Presidential
display of puerility, by im-
agining Dwight David Eisen-
hower, tidying the lapels
of Charles de Gaulle. Only
by admitting to myself, how
forgotten they are, was it
possible to regard that im-
age with any comprehension.
The American President is a
case study in the misplace-
ment of an exclusive singular.
Only because this is so cus-
tomary, do we indulge his
indiscipline as only routine.
It'd be worse than bizarre,
to see it as comprehensible.
