Since the right has taken to renaming us the "Democrat Party," perhaps we should start referring to them as the "Corpo Party."

Only seems appropriate.

5. Bush** = Buzz Windrip
Amiable and seemingly harmless, yet fascist to the core.

6. Yes
I have a slightly water-stained and somewhat yellowed first edition that I found in a used bookstore a couple of years ago.
I went in specifically looking for it, not knowing the guy would actually have one.
And there it was, in the "special" case. Got it along with a Lewis trilogy for $5 total.
I re-read it a couple of months ago.
