      Why is it that any post I make making fun of George Bush is labelled a troll? Is the state of democratic debate that bad in the US that any post related to George Bush is going to degenerate into a serious, long-winded off-topic discussion of politics and not be taken as a joke? I'm genuinely curious here, as an Australian I'm always bemused at things like the whole Dixie Chicks vs GWB thing because here it's common-place to joke around about the PM (a former opposition leader even called him an "ass-licker" in parliament).
