History's actors

the quote below is from the current Underfire list, but i thought i'd
send it here, for no good reason.
It seems the Bush Administration represents the current avant garde in
Pomo theory:

<begin quotation>
In the October 17 issue of the NYT magazine, Ron Suskind reported a
conversation with a Bush aide who told him that "guys like me were ''in
what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people
who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of
discernible reality.' I nodded and murmured something about
enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. 'That's not the
way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire
now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're
studying that reality – judiciously, as you will – we'll act again,
creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how
things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you,
will be left to just study what we do.'"
