This is just plain clever.

From an email I received:

*"I hear the voices and I read the front page and I know the speculation," the president told reporters in the Rose Garden. "But I'm the decider and I decide what's best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense."* -------- George W. Bush*

Well, it took me awhile, but I finally realized what "I'm the decider," reminds me of. It sounds like something a character in a Dr Seuss book might say. So with apologies to the late Mr. Geisel, here is some idle speculation as to what else such a character might say:

* "I'm the Decider"*


by Roddy

I'm the decider. I pick and I choose.

I pick among whats.
And choose among whos.
And as I decide

Each particular day, The things I decide on
All turn out that way.

I decided on Freedom For all of Iraq.
And now that we have it, I'm not looking back.


I decided on tax cuts

That just help the wealthy.

And Medicare changes
That aren't really healthy.

And parklands and wetlands

Who needs all that stuff?

I decided that none

Would be more than enough!

I decided that schools

All in all are the best.
The less that they teach

And the more that they test.
I decided those wages
You need to get by,
Are much better spent
On some CEO guy.
I decided your Wade
Which was versing your Roe,
Is terribly awful

And just has to go.
I decided that levees

Are not really needed.

Now when hurricanes come
They can come unimpeded.



That old Constitution?

Well, I have decided-
As "just Goddamn paper"*
It should be derided.


I've decided gay marriage

Is icky and weird.
Above all other things,
It's the one to be feared.


And Cheney and Rummy

And Condi all know
That I'm the Decider -
They tell me it's so.


I'm the Decider

So watch what you say,
Or I may decide
To have you whisked away

Or I'll tap all your phones.

Your e-mail I'll read.

`cause I'm the Decider -
Like Jesus decreed.


* This is an exact Bush Quote!



Now that I think about it, Dr. Seuss anticipated this administration pretty
