The Shadow knows


George Bush invented the iPod? Well it’s no worse than claiming that Al Gore told everyone he invented the Internet. Whether it’s due or not, George gives credit to the US Government for making it easier for Americans to drown themselves in constant and mindless entertainment – our national pastime.

Is this latest kind of idiot box part of a sinister plot to lobotomize us; to distract us from noticing the disintegration of our Republic? That’s something only the Shadow is likely to know, but I’m suspicious.

George is known to wear one of these devices when he dirt-bikes around his fake ranch like some nit-wit adolescent, but unlike the average street brat of today, he has to hire someone to download the tasteless drivel for him. Maybe there is something to tickle-down economics after all.

He's probably listening to Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent on his iPod. "Pimpin' ain't easy"

This is the guy who went through the Louvre at age 56 or so and it was the first Art museum he'd ever been in and he couldn't stop giggling and gawking at the nudes and making imbecilic jokes about them.

Can you imagine what crap the man might listen to?

It makes his assertion last week that, "I'm the one who decides" a little funnier, doesn't it?
