Things Seen Yet Hardly Believed...

I saw a reference to: The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed on May 9, 2007 declares that in the event of a “catastrophic event”, George W. Bush can become what is best described as "a dictator": where the last phrase was transformed into: "...George W. Bush can become a Dick Tater." Dick Tater? Richard Tater? Now what in the name of goodness is that? What am I missing here? Things like that make me feel as if I am not awake and am still within the embrace of Morpheus (Morpheus as an allegory for sleep...not Lawrence Fishburne as Morpheus in "The Matrix" !!)
