[* A riveting Hush falls over the classroom as the Professor steps up to the podium and begins reviewing his notes for the day's discourse }

YACKER No. 2,367,002: (speaks up)

"I wish people could realize that -- Obama -- (is) a politician full of flaws and weaknesses" -- as for his record--ignoring a poltician's accomplishments doesn't mean that none exist."

PROFESSOR COWHEADSOUP:

"Hmmmmm ... is it so ? -- Please, please, --- then kindly inform the class what this snappily attired young chap has done during his what? steller, if not extensive, career in the Halls of Congress?"

YACKER No. 2,367,002:

"Obama wrote legislation for GOVERNMENT AID (!!!) to the Darfur and got it signed by GWB (!!!).

PROFESSOR COWHEADSOUP:

"I see ... Well that INDEED is Verrrry kind hearted of him. Won him a few accolades from South Chicago, did it? -- I suppose that he simply could not further stomach the idea of the mounting ethnic cleansing & mass murder."

[* Yacker No. 2,367,002 is overcome with a look of Grand Puzzlement as she attempts to follow the Professor's Line of Reasoning ]

PROFESSOR COWHEADSOUP:

"Then might he not clearly perceive what the Iraqi aftermath would looklike following a swift pullout of troops from that accursed land ?? .... as he has repeatedly proposed.

[* Yacker No. 2,367,002 blinks rapidly before her mouth drops open ]

PROFESSOR COWHEADSOUP (smiles, sniffs):

"... That is -- from a Sunny-Sunni perspective of the suddenly widening possibilities."

YACKER No. 2,367,002:

"Whelp, but ..... He also initiated legislation for the online database to track government spending which was passed. There are two bills for you."

PROFESSOR COWHEADSOUP:

"That particular piece of legislation was, in fact, a long time in coming -- it was handed to the promising young new boy ... a welcoming gift, so to speak, as a new member of the Club.

[* Yacker No. 2,367,002 blinks again, shuts mouth, gulps loudly]

PROFESSOR COWHEADSOUP:

"Now if you really wish to consider a weighty piece of legislation which was arguably the most important legislation of the 20th century ... you might want to look at The Freedom of Information Act ... and IT was motivated and engineered from start to go by a Common Citizen, no less."

YACKER No. 2,367,002:

Grrrrr .... that Nader troublmaker, again ... "The problem is (that) people like you pretend that -- for some reason Darfur Handouts don't count because they're from Obama."

PROFESSOR COWHEADSOUP:

"Missy .... Let me be clear. What you infer is simply not the case. Darfurian assistance is legit from all angles. -- You see, folk like me look forward to any sign from the Young Lad that he is capable of the Massive Responsibilities tied into the office .... any sign whatsoever ... of significance, that is."

[* Yacker No. 2,367,002 becomes Sad-Dog-Eyed as she sighs and places her thumb in her mouth ]

PROFESSOR COWHEADSOUP (continuing):

"Even the present idiot who holds the Presidency had SOME experience juggling the myriad executive intricasies of managing SOMETHING ...

[* The Professor turns his back on the class as he begins to scrawl twin comic shoulder-hugging figures of Bush Junior and Barry O in matching Tweedle-Dee & Tweedle-Dum outfits ]

PROFESSOR COWHEADSOUP (continuing):

"... However, be it a governorship or the CEO of the neighborhood Little League .... Little Barry will have to come up with something to bolster his Less than Slim Resume !! --- Running his college paper simply isn't going to cut it with the majority of American Patriots in November..."

[* The bell rings as the entire class rushes for the door, all save Yacker No. 2,367,002 who rises slowly clutching fast her books while admiringly gazing at her teacher with watery star-struck eyes ]

YACKER No. 2,367,002: (again, sighs)

"Cheers, ..... Professor"

"WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR . . . BUT FEAR ITSELF .... "

" . . . .oh, and maybe Karl Rove as well"

It is rather amusing to read all these discombobulating rants regarding the bulwarks of privacy. Its like listening to a bunch of 14 year olds in a Civics Class railing against the Crimes of Free Enterprise.

It takes very little thought to consider that we are still in the very Zygotian Infancy of What's-to-Be. So go ahead ... buttress yourself with link to every Attorney in the Universe.

What's Coming is Coming ---- 5 years from now -- 10 years from now --- 20 years from now -- use your imagination a little.

Extrapolate ... just a little regarding what's been happening in the recent blip of time -- Television --- satillite cable -- cell phones -- downloads are already Dinosaurs in the advancing technologies in "The Wonderful World of Tommorowsville"

You Folks engaged in this present discussion sound like a room filled with members of the Trade Union for Buggy-Whip Makers decrying the noisy, polluting appearance in their village of the first Packard B Runabout on their rinky-dink Main Street.

The 9/11 Commission's findings about why 'We Missed It' amounted to what they concluded was simply 'a lack of imagination' to connect the dots.

.... Pure & SIMPLE - - -

... Amusement for the Very Easily Entertained.

Disagree ??? -- go try a serious re-read Bub.

hey ... good article

the question to be asked then .....

... is who in Blazes would want to be sitting in the Offal Office for the next few years with this Rogue Diesel LOCO-motive Barreling Down the Rickety Tracks toward 1600 Penna. Ave. ??
