Bush and Cheney want to prove Ginsberg's Theorem applies to them as well
Ginsberg's Theorem (aka the modern statement of the three laws of thermodynamics)
1. You can't win.
2. You can't break even.
3. You can't even quit the game.

Freeman's Commentary on Ginsberg's Theorem
Every majoy philosophy that attempts to make life seem meaningful is based on the negation of one part of Ginsberg's Theorem. To wit:
1. Capitalism is based on the assumption that you can win.
2. Socialism is based on the assumption that you can break even.
3. Mysticism is based on the assumption that you can quit the game.

Let's hope Wexler can make a dent in the Bush administration's perceived invincibility tonight. :toast:
