O.K., we've now and then been a little harsh on President Bush. Triumphs at home and abroad have convinced us that he really is looking out for ALL of our best interests.

So what if American casualties in Iraq are now above 1,500. So what if Afghanistan under our rule is producing and selling more poppies than ever before. So what if we're going to drill a few holes in the pristine beauty of the Arctic Wildlife National Refuge and that of Padre Island.

We now understand, finally, that "freedom" means what President Bush says it means, that is the freedom to do what is necessary to advance whatever it is that President Bush says needs advancing.

Foolish us to have complained about such enlightened governance. Dangerous us to have poked fun at such enlightened governance.

We are thus starting a movement to amend the U.S. Constitution. The new amendment reads as follows:

The 43rd President of the United States, because of the great affection and esteem he enjoys in the hearts of his citizens, shall henceforth in all secondary references be known as "Dear Leader." Failure to use such referents correctly and consistently shall be punishable under terms of law to be established by the Congress.

To advance this already-burgeoning movement, please send contributions (all major credit cards accepted, as well as of course PayPal) to:

Thank you, and God bless Dear Leader.
