I don't understaaaaand
I am utterly bemused and confounded by this:
"I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down."
I guess Chang is sort of like the LORD, except he's a martial artist too. Then there's the ceremony:
Bush then unsheathed a golden sword and gave it to Rubio as a gift.
"I'm going to bestow to you the sword of a great conservative warrior," he said, as the crowd roared.
Like, did Jeb have the sword at home in a cabinet? And what will Chang think? Is Jeb no longer under the protection of Chang? Are there other mystical warriors and/or weapons in the employ of the Powers That Be? Or was Chang simply using Jeb, and now has a better, more pliable puppet to work through?
Because a picture is worth a thousand words.

I wonder where he would he get one of those? Chang sounds like he'll be pissed when he finds out his swords be stolen.
I'm sure you'll be happy to read this story of virtue and talent rewarded:

"Think Tank"
Posted by: Graeme at September 21, 2005 07:44 AMI really should remember to check for simple grammatical errors before hitting Post. Any more mistakes and I'd only be good for a think tank job.

Posted by: SocraticGadfly at September 21, 2005 08:38 AMAh, the PRI. Yeah, I've already looked into it. What is it about Canadians and tone-deaf acronyms, like the Conservative Reform Alliance Party? I know when I think of PRI, I think of honest non-wasteful conservative/libertarian government. And a pony!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go talk to my quarterstaff, Journeyer. Peace be to you.
