Sleight-of-Hand

Why the war on Iraq? There are many justifications, but it is worth repeating that war – with its flags, martial music, heroes and invocations of our love for patria – has always worked for President-magicians anxious to take our eyes away from where they're doing the trick.
George W. Bush and Dick Chaney just paid a lot less in income taxes than they would have before the Administration’s tax "reforms."
So did their friends in the top two percent.
You didn’t notice?
