My new Radar article about Dear Leader is now up:
What makes a man more interested in a bike ride than in the safety of his wife? The same thing that makes him more interested in continuing his vacation than in the loss of a major American city, or that compels him to continue reading a children’s book when his nation suddenly finds itself at war. George Bush is unable to countenance contradiction. He wants nothing to do with anyone or anything that steers him from his chosen path—be that a bicycle path or the path to war. Bush had already set aside last week as vacation time and no stupid hurricane was going to ruin his plans.
