Default Something all you Bush-haters should consider.

Let's say you achieve your wildest dreams, and drive Rove and Bush out. What happens next?

Yes, President Cheney.

Ideally, it would be a coup d'etat that would result in 2Pac being declared president. From there, the possibilities are endless.

That's not the way we do things in this country. Go home if you want a coup.

So? If we start holding politicains responsible again they will be less likely to cause problems.

Since when did you or 2Pac care about how we do things in this country?

And where, might I ask, is home?

Nice. Have you always been xenophobic or is this something recent?

I always have. I don't speak for 2Pac, but that seems to be a recurring theme of his.

I don't know where your home country is - I'm guessing part of the former Soviet Union. They've had their share of coups. I'm not sure we've had any, unless you believe that JFK movie. Maybe 2Pac has some thoughts?

Did you get a dictionary for your birthday or what?

My wildest dreams do not include Bush, Rove, or Cheney. Seriously.
