Attaching the red cable to the positive post of the moonbattery...

This probably could be turned into a Microfiction bit, but Roger and Stanley are both smarter than that. I haven't seen this screwball idea around, but I suppose either I've just plain missed it or else it's just a matter of time. But a strange thought occurred and now you get to suffer as I share the nonsense:

Q: What's been the big story for several days?

A: Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath thereof.

Q: What major government official haven't you seen for a while?

A: Vice President Dick Cheney.

So... adding 2 and 2 and getting the square root of -7, Dick Cheney is ensconced in his special Superdupersecret Supervillain Hurricane Control Center where he directed Katrina to hit the Gulf and knock out oil production, oil terminals, and refineries in order to benefit his henchmen at Haliburton who get to rebuild things, and benefit from higher petroleum prices as well. Cheney hasn't made a public appearance yet as he still has more storms to steer.

He's making a public appearance shortly - I heard on NPR this morning that he and "other high-level officials" are going to be touring the damange (I don't remember when).

Which shows how nonsensical the above is.

But if I wanted to go along with the nonsense, I'd probably say that this appearance is like that of the groundhog and he'll be right back at the controls in short order.

Conspiracy theorizing is way too easy.

Isn't it, though? (Easy to theorize, that is.)

Seesh, don't you guys over there know anything?

He's operating his EARTHQUAKE machine, not hurricane machine.

Him and the molemen army, 200X, mark my words.
