Doomsday or Tuesday?

As it turns out the world doesn’t end when congress fails to pass an ill-conceived bill. Although there is much scrambling (like eggs) on many fronts in Washington today. Such as the Presidential front. Nothing says empty rhetoric or talking head like another early morning speech by G.W.B. flapping his lips in the wind or the gusty strong words blowing from the mouths of both presidential candidates.

I heard a small Spanish boy praying out loud in the parking lot this morning, rough translation: “Lord, have you sent Nancy Pelosi to save us?”

The Lord then responded “No.” Which is the same in Spanish as it is in English thus requiring no translation.

Luckily in times of crisis we have a thousand AP reporters to report, we have a bunch of government governing and above all we have the Anderson Coopers’ of the world to blame the entire thing on the Republican rank and file. (Side note here: nothing against the fountain like espousing of right and left wing propagandist figure heads, but damn, if your gonna Kansas City shuffle, try harder to make me look over there, cuz I just keep seeing what your other hand is doing.)
I read somewhere, someone calling Bush, Cheney, McCain and Paulson the four horseman of the Apocalypse. I think that’s strong. Personally they remind me of Larry, Moe, Curly and Coach from Cheers, respectively. I envision Paulson tending bar in a smoky pit, cleaning glasses with a dirty bar rag, pouring strong whiskey sours and gin and tonics to battling monkeys from the land of Zanzibar. Those crazy damn monkeys.
