Too Good Not to Share
THE DECIDER> by Toni Smith
> *"I hear the voices and I read the front page and I know the speculation," the president told reporters in the Rose Garden. "But I'm the decider and I decide what's best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense."
> George W. Bush
>
> Well, it took me awhile, but I finally realized what "I'm the decider," reminds me of. It sounds like something a character in a Dr Seuss book might say. So with apologies to the late Mr. Geisel, here is some idle speculation as to what else such a character might say:
>
> I'm the decider. I pick and I choose.
> I pick among whats.
> And choose among whos.
>
> And as I decide
> Each particular day,
> The things I decide on
> All turn out that way.
>
> I decided on Freedom
> For all of Iraq.
> And now that we have it,
> I'm not looking back.
>
> I decided on tax cuts
> That just help the wealthy.
> And Medicare changes
> That aren't really healthy.
>
> And parklands and wetlands
> Who needs all that stuff?
> I decided that none
> Would be more than enough!
>
> I decided that schools
> All in all are the best.
> The less that they teach
> And the more that they test.
>
> I decided those wages
> You need to get by,
> Are much better spent
> On some CEO guy.
>
> I decided your Wade
> Which was versing your Roe,
> Is terribly awful
> And just has to go.
>
> I decided that levees
> Are not really needed.
> Now when hurricanes come
> They can come unimpeded.
>
> That old Constitution?
> Well, I have decided-
> As "just Goddamn paper"*
> It should be derided.
>
> I've decided gay marriage
> Is icky and weird.
> Above all other things,
> It's the one to be feared.
>
> And Cheney and Rummy
> And Condi all know
> That I'm the Decider -
> They tell me it's so.
>
> I'm the Decider
> So watch what you say,
> Or I may decide
> To have you whisked away
>
> Or I'll tap your phones.
> Your e-mail I'll read.
> `cause I'm the Decider -
> Like Jesus decreed.

I know you have a partner, but can she just go away so you can come to Texas and marry me?
Brilliant piece, little miss.
