3. You can't watch cable news and NOT have a drink...
Shit, I've been drinking since two this afternoon.
The FEMA handjob Brown almost had me doing shots.

10. Make mine Bushmills, please...
Actually, I'm stopping by the liquor store on the way home. This has been a rough day. My daughter's "Back to School" night is tonight, and I am wondering how many grandparents/parents/children in LA will not have theirs this year...or ever again.

6. tonight, I drink
Jack Daniels in sorrow for what the victims are being put through in NO, and also for the loss of my best friend's mother, who was also a friend of mine. Also in anger for this tremendous failure. If this is Bush's idea of a rapid response, we are doomed.

8. I'm three deep already.
I wish that I wasn't in the middle of a college semester. I want nothing more than to go down there and HELP, but I can't. Here's to the Big Easy... what's left of her, anyway.

La cession d'une grande ville américaine! Au revoir, Noveau Orleans! Mai vos enfants vivent longtemps et prospèrent!

11. I'm with you...
Same with college - If I dropped out, I wouldn't graduate and that would spoil all my plans. But, MAN, I really want to help beyond money and blood. This is just killing me...

Now, where's my booze? :(

12. Why can't they hear the voices in our hearts?
The Wizard's Electric Campfire. Come Gather Round.

Turn the lights down low, raise your glasses, and gaze into your monitors. See the Wizard's Tale in the Electric Campfire.

America heard thunder roar and saw lightening strike. They know all was not right upon the mountain top at Castle Rove. The villagers below could smell the evil in air. They knew Ft. Rove was making another Monster. But they were not afraid. They were better than that. They were American. They knew that the only thing they had to fear was fear it's self.

So they gathered their courage and went into the forest to find Pump the Evil Dragon of Dr Rove. They wandered upon Pump resting in a clearing beneath the Forrest Canopy. Pump saw their approach and bellowed. Give to me all your riches and I shall let you live to see another day! The villager retorted, We fear you not! You lil Snot! On this day we've come to drive you away! Then the villagers lined up to await their chance to Battle Pump the Evil Dragon. The fight was fierce! Pump slashed their budgets as he gouged their wallets. O' the money flowed in rivers. But as Pump spewed his poisonous vitriol the caught in Buckets and carried it back to their village. When Pimp had spewed all the vitriol he had produced. He laid down and closed his eyes.

Instead of using Pumps vitriol to make their magic carts go farther faster to gather more Riches for the Evil Dragon. They used it to set their torches ablaze. To have light to guide them up the ever darkening mountain path to Dr. Roves Castle. It was a long hard journey and many of the villagers did not survive the lecherous and treacherous course to the Mountain top. But those who did gathered outside the gates of Castle Rove to issue their demand.

Send out the Monster! they cried out into the night. The Mad Architect Dr. Rove had created a Frankenpresident in his political sciences lab. The Mad Dr. Rove's genius spun away as he sewed together bits and pieces of various other noble Presidencies to form his Ultimate Creation. The Frankenpresident! Bwahahahahahaha! The world is mine! Dr. Rove manically chortled as he crowned his creation. Within the skull of that Bonesman. Dr. Rove placed the sick, twisted, and rotting brain of a Genocidal War Criminal that was compassionate enough to execute himself for Treason against his country. Yea, it was greatly rumored that it was the brain of none other than Adolph Hitler. But alas that is just a rumor with no hard evidence to support the claim. But still the villagers lived in constant fear of the havoc Dr. Roves Monster would wreak if it ever escaped his castle.

Next on the electric campfire.

Katrina, the Bride of Frankenpresident!
