I thought maybe the Rapture had begun

Bill Moyers, at 70, wastes no grief: I don’t waste any time, energy, or grief over the reality of a world saturated with celebrity. I mean, the BBC—which I listen to every morning—led yesterday with the announcement that Prince Charles is going to marry Camilla what’s-her-name. As did the New York Times. This is a startling announcement? I thought maybe the Rapture had begun... I never took [Bush] as a compassionate conservative. I’m a Texan. I saw what he had done to Texas and I knew he would do to the nation what he had done to Texas. And by God he’s done it. He’s turned the environment over to the polluters, he’s turned the courts over to big business, and he’s turned the schools over to the religious right. I was not fooled by his prevarications and his camouflage and his deceits.
