Last night I had the TV on as I was nearing sleep; just tipping over the edge like a canoe going over a waterfall in an old cartoon. They always paused to look down, you know? Anyway, it was CNN and they were talking about Bush’s presidency, and how everyone who works for him is exhausted. Then an interesting word: they said his presidency has collapsed. Oh my. It has? When? How far back up stream could we have gotten off? Because I think we’re still in the canoe, on the edge, looking way down at a boiling demise on jagged rocks.

Meanwhile, crazy old Saddam thinks he’s still president of Iraq. That’s a hoot.
