Shit... The tornado hit and thank god for wireless...
It seems as if I am somewhere over the SouthEastern corner of Arkansas and my fellow travelers are a diverse bunch.

there are several friends of Larry the cable guy and a few older women on bicycles with cairn terriers in a basket on the handlebars.

Osama just blew by reading a copy of Atlas Shrugged and Don Rumsfeld seems to be doing a Lewis Carrol Cheshire Cat replete with a Hookah.

Judge Roy Moore floated by fifteen minutes ago followed by a hoard of small red devils and I think I saw Tom Delay whiz by being chased by a guy in a fedora and trenchcoat.

Other than that, everything's cool here!

15. Oh, my, no.
No one will ever credit my pen with being mightier than any sword!

It's just li'l ol' me, out here with the great unwashed, working dawn 'til dusk in pursuit of the almighty dollar.

7. There's no place like home...there's no place like home...
Auntie Em, the last five and a half years were just a dream, weren't they...? And Rummy was the Tin Man (no heart), and Powell was the Lion (no courage) and the Scarecrow - oh this is so effing freaky (Georgie-boy) had no brain...and Osama is the WWW and all of the flying monkeys... and Cheney is the puny Wizard behind the curtain.

Ooooooohhhhh, what a nasty bump on my poor little head. Thank God it was just a dream.
