In the excitement of electing a new president, we sometimes forget
about bidding goodbye to the old one.
I, for one, am not willing to let Bush sneak out the back door. I want
to give him a good bashing before he crawls back into his hole with
the ghost of Saddam Hussein.
With that in mind, I have written an 80,000-word work of fiction about
the Bush years. Like Orwell's Animal Farm, which, of course, took on
communism, my "The Boathouse" excoriates Bush, his henchmen and their
handling of the Iraq War.
I will serialize it online beginning September 7, running through the
inauguration of the next president in January. The first two chapters
are online now. It can be found at http://www.slwgreene.blogspot.com.
I have also created a wiki at http://www.goodbyebush.wetpaint.com so
that everyone can contribute to flailing the pres as he leaves.
Each week I will release four more chapters and invite readers to add
their thoughts at the blog site or the wiki. I hope to come up with an
assortment of "tributes" that will be sent to the ex-commander-in-
chief when he leaves office. Admittedly, it might be difficult to
render all the material into a form Bush can read since he has scant
experience with online resources.
