When the history of 2004 is written, this totally absurd and outlandish proposal will serve as a perfect example of the bubble that certain self-absorbed American presidents were living in. It might go something like this:

"Living Large" was the buzz word. It was a time of Hummers and Humvees, talk of boom times and a trip to Mars filled the airwaves. It was the dawn of an American Empire, and the war cry was "Shop! Shop! Shop!" The national obsession was the Atkins diet (obesity was at record levels). That was the state of affairs in early 2004 before an imploding economy and a series of political scandals....

Let's HOPE it happens this year, because it WILL happen, and the sooner the better.
