“In a thinly veiled dig at George Bush, Vladimir Putin today suggested that the US President was not in charge of American affairs, saying that it was ‘the court that makes the king’.” (timesonnline.co.uk)
I tend to agree. Every four years we get to pretend like we’re changing things with a new election, but the candidates who propose real change (Ron Paul, Kucinich, Gravel, Ross Perot) are always ruthlessly vetted by the media, leaving only pro-war, pro-big-government, pro-debt, pro-central-bank candidates arguing over superficial differences. Our court will fight tooth and nail to prevent independent-minded king.
