These past several years have seen the emergence of a truly great nonsense poet. His name of course is Donald Rumsfeld and he has contributed several truly exceptional works in a special genre of nonsense verse --- he calls them “press conferences.” I have selected one, based on a speech in February 2002, in which he gives a little soliloquy on the deep epistemology of an American dystopia called: Gee Dubya Bushland.

This version of As We Know was recorded live in Toronto at the Deep Wireless festival in 2004.
