Dubai is a lovely example of a government that is run
by a single Sheikh as a corporation. Dubai's scenic vistas offer investors a panoramic view of the flat desert out of which rises the modern day success story of political democracy rebranded as corporate theocracy: "Dubai Inc." after it declared its independence from Britain. President Bush remarked quietly in an recent interview with Dubai's CEO, "Dang, I wish Karl had thought of that one." Dubai's leader and CEO Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum gave the President some useful tips, "Once you own your Congress and your Supreme Court, what do you need them for ? They're just dead weight that needs to be pruned. Remember, we arabs know alot about gardening. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq." The President's eyes started blinking rapidly. Lemons, cherries, and dollar signs. Now he saw the light. Yes, Americans really would enjoy a Christian theme park in Las Vegas. It would become the new American Mecca. Bush returned to Crawford more giddy than when Karl Rove explained how focus groups clearly showed that reading Pet Goat to a bunch of children would be his perfect alibi for 9/11. In Crawford Bush immediately held a conference call with Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair. Blair cautioned Bush that the Parliament would be much harder to externalize than the American Congress. "Our parliament came after your American Revolution so we've made some improvements to Democracy that you yanks, urr, missed." "Listen Tone Man. We've got top people working on it right now." said Bush. "Who ?", asked Blair. "Top. People.", Bush replied. Blair looked nervous. Who was this guy ? This wasn't exactly what he signed up for. Diana was one thing, but was Britain really ready for Bush World ? __________________________________________________ ______________ Will the Boom Continue?
