Bob Lancaster's take on four more bu$h years:

DUers: Lancaster is the funniest man in print hereabouts. His column appears each week in The Arkansas Times. Though a card-carrying contrarian, his command of the Plain Language is without parallel and I suspect he is a Liberal at heart. I thought his latest rumination might cheer y'all up a bit.

Rhymes with pits

As I was saying, it’s not the end of the world.

It’s a shame, a crying shame, a damn shame, a dirty rotten shame, the pits, and something that rhymes with that, probably the end of civilization as we know it, likely the beginning of a new Dark Age, perhaps Nineteen Eighty-Four 20 years late arriving, and apparently our version of the spooky spectacle from Druidic times in which all the respectable people occasionally crowned the biggest dunce in the province as their emperor and then ran amok.

Altogether a sobering turn of events, but not the end of the world.
I have to admit that the morning-after presidential bull announcing our conversion to a theocracy, with a familiar cast of characters to supervise the new Inquisition, in charge of rooting out scientific thinking and other heresies, gave me pause, but I’m determined to see this great catastrophe in the best possible light.

Think of this: whatever was out there that made life worth living on November 1 will still be out there for weeks and perhaps months to come. It took Hitler a long time to get those camps up and going. You can’t hardly put up fenceposts in froze-solid ground, even with heavy equipment, so Stalin like to never got the whole string of gulags operational. Whatever devilment Bush is up to, in other words, you’ll have time to adjust. To put your affairs in order. To gyst.

Check out Bob Lancaster. He's a jewel! More.
