Maybe we need another one

Juan Cole:
Bush signed a law forbidding him from spending money to make permanent bases in Iraq but at the same time issued a signing statement making clear he had no intention of paying any attention to that or several other provisions in the legislation. What do you call a leader unconstrained by his legislature? An absolute monarch. I thought we had a revolution to get rid of that sort of thing.

I am both surprised and disheartened that the guillotine hasn't been cleaned up and readied.

And I know that makes me a bad person, but so be it.
