I do know what to say.
We really can't relate the One Ring to modern problems because there is no Crack of Doom to throw our equivalent One Ring into. All we can do is throw our personal rings into our individual cracks of doom.

I think it's a confirmation of my long-held belief that George "dubious" Bush is really Sauron.

FWIW
Bush's Job Rating - make you own graph It's back to about the worst it's ever been. The approval numbers are almost as low as before 9/11 and the disapproval is almost as high.

The picture of Arwen is weird. (It is actually a scene cut from FotR.) Elves don't sleep the same way humans do, so that would never have happened.

You know you're an LotR geek when...
The writing on the Ring only appeared briefly when it had been in a fire.
Even though I think the Bush-Sauron connection is funny, and at times, scarily accurate.

The Republican Sauron
I really don't see the comparison between, Mr. Bush and the one ring.
Except of course that they were both spawned from pure evil, and that they are totally bent on destroying countless others, and bending the world to it's bitter and corrupted will. Now had the comparison been George W. and Satan then maybe I could see your point. |

And, to paraphrase the start of the FOTR movie, their "cruelty, malice, and will to dominate all life" makes them miss other solutions to their problems.

A Council Meeting in Minas Tirith. Gandalf and Aragorn talk with their advisors about going to war with Mordor.
Gandalf the White: I council that we take the fight to Sauron...keep his eye on us. I propose we take an army to Mordor!!! Beleg Strongbow: I disagree. I think we should find another solution to the Sauron problem. Let's try all peaceful means. Aragorn: Open war is upon you, whether you risk it or not. Nurvingiel: This is just a personal vendetta for you, Aragorn. You just want to see Sauron out of power because of his old feud with your forefathers. (anarion stands and points an accusing finger at Gandalf and Aragorn.) anarion: You two are the TRUE ENEMY. You are totally bent on destroying countless others, and bending the world to your bitter and corrupted will. Gandalf: (sighing) Now I know how George W. Bush feels. |

Aha! Here I agree with you, BB!
Personally, I like Bush; at least he takes some sort of action, instead of sitting on his bum discussing what's going on. That said, I do think the picture is funny.

LOL BB!
Yea! I'm an advisor to Aragorn and Gandalf! I would like to tell Bush not to go to war with Iraq! Nice analogy.

That's perfectly correct, BB. I'm suggesting we try something other than open war.
Something crazy. Something like, oh, trying to destroy the Ring instead.

Following the analogy further:
Allowing Sauron to regain his ring would be the end of Middle-Earth as we know it. Allowing Saddam the opportunity to use his stockpiled biological weapons of mass destruction in our country would be the end of our world as we know it. |
