On Saturday, President Bush delivered a message of hope and freedom to the graduating class of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, exclaiming: "De Tocqueville wrote that tyrants maintained their power by "isolating" their citizens -- and that Americans guaranteed their freedom by their remarkable ability to band together without any direction from government." Of course, there was no such thing as custom-printed t-shirts back then, so it was easy to maintain a democracy without isolating citizens. Now, it's a harder, so every now and then you've gotta kick a few people out of a Social Security town hall.— GREG BEATO
