Whether or not the Captain is Bush, or the song is supposed to be Bush's first-person account the captain is his concept/interpretation of God - it's brilliantly subtle and definitely political. This whole album is subtly political right down to it's name "Ganging up on the Sun/Son" (as in W is the son of Bush 1). Listen to Manifest Destiny - it's about ceceding and starting over and takes a dig at the "leaders." Personally, I'm glad Guster is joining the many groups writing and railing against this administration...
