Like England's Edward II, George II was bored by the duties of kingship and easily swayed by favorites. Maureen Dowd—“ When the Boy King Ruled”—New York Times, December 31 'You are the Weakest Link.

The Onion—January 1 www.theonion.com Common Constructs of Oppression Homosexuals and Jews are feared and despised not because they can be identified as outwardly different but precisely because of the relative ease with which both can be disguised.

AUSTIN, TX-- In a televised speech to the nation Monday, president-elect George
W. Bush called for "an end to the era of political argument." "My fellow Americans,"
Bush said, "after a difficult period of partisan debate, the time has come for unanimity.

can no longer afford such ideological division." Bush said he is committed to making
his presidency "The Age Of Assent."
