N(e)o Matrix

Mathematics with motion Picture
Meld to mold Algorithms
Majoring in metaphors, Philosophy
Minoring in martial Arts

One, an anti-archaic Allegory
Influencing modern pop culture, Never
Losing its impacting existential Debonair

Two, returns with reloaded Momentum
Capitalizing on hype, Anticipation
Undermines its major, majors in its Minor
And trades intelligence for mindless Action

Three, rife with redundant Adrenaline
Replete with repetition turned Repulsion
Whose title revolutionizes the term "Euphemistic..."

(Four? The chance to reveal revelations Newfangled
The chance to reconcile the trilogy Opaque
The chance to resolve the disoriented Themes...)

The algorithm miscalculated somewhere in the Matrix.
There is no way to balance the equation Arithmetically,
For trilogies come in odd numbers, and thus Cannot
Connect the neo one with the existing three Harmoniously.

Bushisms

Ain't Becomin'!

I feel compelled - no, that's too strong - I feel compelled to apologize for my recent dealings with "bushisms" - that is, blatant disrespect for U.S. President George W. Bush in relation to his competence. For all of his lack thereof, he has handled a country that has endured terrorism, natural disasters, and lackluster politicians with considerable ease; in fact, there have been times when he made it seem as though any average George could do what he does. His country doubted him time and again, and each time he overcame the odds, more arose. Yet this man does not complain; long-suffering is among his assets. (Which could explain why he feels compelled to exert it over his country through continuously pushing the war in Iraq.)

Bush has been battered to death (metaphorically speaking), and bushisms have been recycled beyond use; the material is really beginning to reek of an uncanny genus. It's time to advance beyond Bush and let him finish his term through the grit-and-bear-it tactic. He may have the last word for the most powerful country on earth, but chances are he won't have the final word for the world unless he initiates "Cold War II: Armageddon." In which case nobody will be alive to say anything else.
