Getting Hip To The Prez & Co.
In a recent televised address, President George W. Bush claimed that the United States was winning the war in Iraq, despite the insurgents pressing on with their attacks, despite the specter of civil war hanging over the whole bomb-blasted mess. Do I believe the President? Of course, I do. Look! Here comes Peter Cottontail, hoppin’ down the bunny trail, hippity, hoppity.
Meanwhile, Ken Lay, an old buddy of the President, is getting ready to go on trial. He was the chairman of the Enron Corporation, the energy company accused of ripping off consumers for billions of dollars. Recently Lay stated that he is innocent; his underlings were the ones who lied, conspired, and committed fraud. Do I believe him? Of course, I do. Look! Once again, here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail, hippity, hoppity. Hop, hop, hop.
The next time a public figure - politician, businessman, whatever – tells you a story, expecting to you to accept it without question like a naïve child, say that you believe him. And make sure to add: “Please, tell me more, Mr. Cottontail.”
Hippity, hoppity. Hop, hop, hop.
Be a hophead.
After all, Truth’s on its way.
