So-malia -- So what. We've got gangs in LA that could police the
whole country, no sweat. And when everything is said and done we
will be paying the gangs in So-malia to deliver food anyway, and
otherwise act as police. So why not cut out the middle man? In the
mean-time we can start building the WPF by conscripting the homeless.
Send 'em all to Haiti for the winter. It oughta by wonnerful to watch.

They'uns make too dang much money in information-brokering and such, to
merit a holiday. The military is on-call 24 hours a day, all year long,
so I don't see why congress should be any different. There's certainly
no more mercenary a collection of thieves; So dangle the photo-ops of
"duty above and beyond" before their eyes for next election, and slap
'em on the rump with a press barrage about bennies, and they'll mosey on
back along to ole foggy bottom. Kinda like what Ross would say about how
to deal with elephants, big sticks and private parts that is. It's just
a matter of knowin' your critters.

Thanks. I try. Sent a telegram to Texas Gov'nor Richards askin' that
Barbara Jordon be made interim Senator. Of course, they'll be all kinds
of complaints that's she's black, a woman, old, partially disabled from
being infirm, and such -- but I reckon all that's trivial -- considering
some of the old coots we have in congress, FDR, JFK and such.  We'll all
figure a way to work around any problems, and in the mean time I think
there's a lot of good, integrity, and wisdom that BJ can bring to the
process, if the Dems are really serious about constructive change that is.
