another note on the election.

today, a good friend of mine, Palm L.O. Hedcatt - who is also the basilica's resident political pundit - had this to say about the democrats' triumph in yesterday's election:

Dude I am SO psyched. There's a 7k vote cushion in VA which should HOPEFULLY DEFINITELY survive any recount. We did it, baby! I can't wait to give myself an abortion while eating a plate of stem cells and turning guantanamo into a gay marriage chapel for illegal immigrants!!

my name is bean, my card is american express, and i approve this message!

when asked to assess-via-haiku today's 'resignation' of Donald Rumsfeld, Hedcatt had this to say:

don you dirty rat
consider yourself tot diced
go blow yourself (up)

what i have to say is: doesn't don look like a snapping turtle? id love to put my finger near his mouth, then yank it back - narrowly avoiding his chomp, then repeat the action dozens of times, then feed him some smelly turtle food. i dunno - that just seems like it would be fun.

then id drop him in the middle of iraq in a soldier's uniform, to see how he liked those apples.
