    An Answer to Spary the Penguin's Question

    Sparky asked Karl Rove, "Do you really believe that some last-minute, transparently false commitment to 'reform' is going to make people forget who's been running this country for the past seven years?"

    The answer to that is a "Yes" and it will work because the American people have the attention span and memory of a common housefly.

    The memory of the average American goes back only as far as the previous week's episode of "Bread and Circuses," uh, excuse me, I meant "American Idol."
