since you asked; but it sure takes the mystery out of life... ;-)
BTW, for those interested, the incredibly articulate (and entertaining)
Bush un-deifier is Mark Crispin Miller:
his "The Bush Dyslexicon" is available from amazon.com & is incredibly
insightful & horrifying; and despite the title, makes bush out to be
rather intelligent albeit warped and deceptive.
As a Canadian, I hope I do not offend when I offer my opinion of his
administration & the U.S.'s complicit news media as _mythmaking_ of the
highest degree (in many, tho' not all examples).
