I Found This Strange Pod Just Outside My Bedroom Window......

[global1]

It's about as long as I am tall. I'm going to sleep now and I hope tomorrow I'll wake up like a lot of people I know and be happy again. I will forget about the Supreme Court decision in 2000 to put * in the WH. I'll forget about finding Osama. I'll believe like most of my friends that Saddam had something to do with 911. I'll argue with those non-sleepers that we actually did find WMD in Iraq. I'll listen to Rush and Hannity. I'll make Fox News Network my cable news program of choice. I'll believe that nothing could have prevented 911 - not even those 52 pre-911 warnings between April and Sept 2001. And you know - that John Kerry - he was no war hero - * was though. He served his country proud in the Texas Air National Guard. Kerry is a coward - he threw his medals away. * would never do that. I'll swear that SS is going under and the only way to save it is to privatize it. It's the old people's fault. Let's go after them. I'll support the * budget even though it may mean cutbacks in many social and environmental programs. I'll fight for Gannon's rights and support his lawsuit against the blogs - cause after all he was wronged. I will be leading the charge for a strike on Iran - because they're evil. I'll stop watching the "Simpsons". I'll purchase a gas-guzzling Humve and I'll be patriotic. I'll praise * because he had the courage not to answer questions about his life before 40. Ain't that wonderful of him - to let our kids know that you don't have to answer to the truth - and you too could grow up to be president of the United States. I'll push for a 3rd term for * because he is a good christian man and the best president we've ever had in this country. He's protected us from other attacks and has made this country a safer place to live in.

You know I was following a truck just the other day - and I think I saw it hauling a bunch of those pods. Wonder what they are. I'm getting sleepy now. Oh - my eyes are closing. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

(the invasion goes on - sleep tight - be happy)

1. Good allusion to one of our classic films... never thought

we'd be in the middle of it again. It's downright surreal

2. Geez, I was thinking "cocoon"

...and was going to tell you that maybe tomorrow, it will crack open and Brian Dennehy will step out, and take us all away in a ship to a place where we never grow any older, we never die, we always feel great, and are full of joie de vivre!

That glass can be half empty, and it can be half full. I just wish the bastards would stop filling the glass with Kool-Aid!

4. The Cocoon Will Crack Open Alright - But * Is Stepping Out......

and all he can assure us is we'll never grow older.

Crack Open > Rupture > Rapture ----- and I guess the cocoon is the earth.



Boy am I in a depressed mood today. I guess it's because all I'm listening to on the cable news shows is how wonderful everything is. In Iraq. In Israel. In Yurp. Freedom reigns!!!!!!!!!!

3. Coming Attractions...
