Come to the Dark Side -- We Have Tax Cuts

Patrick Ruffini is running a photoshop contest asking folks to embrace the America-as-the-Empire Lucas piffle:

But is the comparison all that unwelcome? Not if you read Jonathan Last's indispensable 2002 classic, The Case for the Empire, contrasting the scandal-plagued, U.N.-like Republic with the brutal but effective Galactic Empire. What to do then, with the America-as-The-Empire meme?

This is my personal favorite.

Having seen Episode III I can say that Lucas wasn't kidding.

Call me overreacting, but I am seriously miffed. Anyone else?

(Not that I can tell the future, but I'd consider the comments spoilerful, if I were you ;-))
