Our government is a melange of Shakespearean tragedy

Is the title of this blog a bit overdramatic?  Possibly, but that doesn't make it any less valid.  Our political system is a joke of titanic proportions.  We have a president who is so out of touch with the wants and needs of the people that put him in power, so focused on his religion-based issues, that he is further alienating himself from the people who once supported him.  The line between Church and state has become a dance between Romeo and Juliet; on the surface, it looks like the two families could finally come together and be one unified power, but as we all know it's not exactly a match made in heaven, and both will end up suffering in the end. 
What prompted this blatant use of metaphor?  Cowboy Bush is gearing up to step into some big-boy pants and veto some congressional legislation.  What is his target?  The stem cell research bill that just passed in the senate.  Why?  Not because it is governmentally or scientifically bad for our country, but because his Bible says it's murder.  Guess what else is murder, Georgey?  Oh, I don't know...how about sending our troops into battle in a sovereign nation that we invaded under false pretenses...?  In this great big Shakespearean cluster fuck that is the play of our lives, Bush is the great reason-blind monarch, Lear, and unfortunately, just like Lear, no one will be able to stop his mistakes until it's too late, to the ruin of King and kingdom...
