THE EMPEROR'S NEW FALL COLLECTION. This is the time to bring out new lines of fall fashions, but I admit to some disappointment in finding out what the Bush administration want us to wear for the next season. It's the same thing they were showing last season, and the season before that, too: Wait Another Few Months Before Judging The Surge. Now, this is not how fashions are created. Things are supposed to change, to be different and exciting. I fear nobody will buy those new fashions, because they are not new. And what's with the rumored venue of the most important fashion show of the season: It's going to be on Fox News only? The advertising campaign for the shows hasn't been bad. But is this new line going to be named for Petraeus or for the White House? Inquiring minds want to know. --J. Goodrich
