24. The Lost World
25..The Turkish Prez has been under fire for trying to move the country away from Kemalism. But it is not the Prez, Gul, but the Prime Minister, Tayip Recep Erdogan. And it is really more the move TOWARD "Islamism" and one-man-rule, more than the movement away from Kemalism that has a lot of the Turks upset. (Lest you get TOO smug.)

25.. It seems I was right to warn about smugness,
For along comes a guy showing BigLugness.
He claims I'm mistaken about President Gul,
But where is the proof he's not cool with the rule?

Kemalism was not on my mind
Miscounting the blanks leaves him behind
the alacrity of hoopingcrane,
That has put him to shame.

Like Dylan once warned, he's "Tangled up in Blue"
Hoping that emphasis shows his facts to be true.
And I heard him exclaim as he rode the dark nights,
"Phooey on Santa, I have Wire in my sights."

I call and raise;

When Kemal finished his great work,
His people shouted; "Attaturk!
We've had enough religious rule
Secularity will be cool."

But Tayip Recep Erdogan
Thinks Kemalism is no fun.
He thinks it would be so much cooler
If he were the unquestioned ruler.

In fact, he thinks it would be great
To re-install the Sultanate.
With a zillion mosques throughout the state
And him as Erdogan the Great!

What's weird is he wants to be the bridge between the Muslim and Western world and wants
Euro Union membership. And then he proceeds as you describe. Doesn't compute.

16. The Katzenjammer Kids

 

[Zorro]

You might say he has a slight case of the "Hugos". Having been in power for 12 years, he has come to see himself as all-wise and not to be questioned. Happens to a lot of leaders, even in ostensible democracies.
