What Year Is It Again?
1. A serious movement is afoot to build a great big wall around the United States. Because walls have proven to be very effective means of isolating and protecting oneself. And because walls are historically such strong symbols of the freedom and democracy that we care so deeply about.
2. Dick Cheney is concerned that the intelligence on Iran’s weapons capability is overly cautious and is not an accurate reflection of the immediacy of the threat. Because that logic has never led us astray before.
3. The Senate is taking up the crucial issue of flag burning this term. Because that’s really the cutting edge of free speech and national interest.
4. To get an Amtrak ticket from Burlington to Philadelphia, one must order 11 days in advance. So that the ticket can be sent. In the mail. As in, with a stamp. Because I should be grateful that purchase doesn’t require utilization of the Pony Express.
5. Al Gore is the current Presidential frontrunner.
I don’t know when or how that last one happened. But I think that it is the case.

The wall is only to the south—to protect us from The Brown Menace!
And what's wrong with #5?
Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved it when Jon Stewart called Dean a former border state governor and asked how he dealt with the illegal immigration problem. Hee.
And if you're taking a train, you're probably silly with nostalgia anyway. I always travel New England by rocket hoverboard.
Gore was mildly hilarious on SNL last weekend. It actually took me a second to realize that it was the real Al Gore and not Darrell Hammond. Anyway, he's only ahead because of name recognition - it's nothing to worry about. Although it does bode ill for Hillary (a good thing, IMO).
Sophist - which part are you "Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!"ing? Or is it the whole thing?
