No

This guy had me going for a second. But no way is George W Bush the reincarnated Daniel Morgan. No fucking way.

Daniel Morgan was a man. He left home at 17, made it on his own, drank a lot, and enjoyed fistfighting. He took 500 lashes for knocking out a British officer in 1756. He served with distinction in the armed forces of his country, and he won a battle (Cowpens) against a superior force (although Mel Gibson also played a key role).

Seriously, take a look at what he did at Cowpens. Morgan's troops (mostly militia) annihilated a detachment of British regulars of roughly equal size. It was a strategic masterpiece, a rope-a-dope along the lines of Waterloo. It was probably the greatest American victory of the war (no French troops or fleets were involved), and it led directly to Cornwallis's decision to retreat to Yorktown. Cornwallis left the continent with Daniel Morgan's bootprint on his ass.

George W Bush is to Daniel Morgan as Pat O'Brien is to James Cagney, as Gary Coleman is to Joe Louis, as Hootie and the Blowfish are to Howlin' Wolf, as LeRoy Neiman is to Caravaggio.

No. Fucking. Way.

Stuff and Nonsense!

Although I enjoyed these blurbs, the first, evidence that I could have made it through med school and really ought to continue writing, and the second, a guide to graciousness.

My evidence suggests that W is the reincarnation of Spanker, a gibbon who lived in Burma until he was eaten in 1932 by another angry tribe of gibbons tired of his bullshit.

Don't insult Spanker and Gibbons that way! Among other things, for "W" to be reminiscent of a Gibbon, he'd have to be of a genus that reproduces in a way other than Fission! As we all know, like Bacteria, all politicians reproduce by Fission![GRIN]
