A fantasy I just had while listening to the news ...

GWB to OPEC: "High prices at the pump are not acceptable! Grrr!" (much waving of hands, trying to look threatening)

OPEC to GWB: "That's nice, dear. Make out the check to 'OPEC.' There's a good boy."

So yesterday, out of the speakers on my computer came 'Fight the Power.' Then 'Cult of Personality.' And then 'Chimes of Freedom' performed by the Byrds (or Roger McGuinn or something). Then came Al Franken. Air America began.

It was, and I'm sorry to be a little hyperbolic and squidgy here, something of an emotional moment. There's always been a little undercurrent of having to be quiet and fearful of being seen as liberal. But there's strength in confederacy.

And dammit, they're all just so funny.

Gotta polish the technological aspects, though.
