The Vertigo of Existence of all CAPTIONS!!!

W. is "thinking": "Gee, being up in the mountains sure makes you think. Like they've been here hundreds of years. Even before there were presidents. And how big everything is. Bigger than a circus when I was six. Bigger than a parade. Wow. I wish Wall Street could see this, then they wouldn't act so 'magnificant' and 'elegant' and stuff all the time. And then I see how fast it can all burn away, like the trees. And I'm really sad. I am. And that makes me think the really big things I've wondered all my life like why my dad has two middle names and I have only one? And how does the person who names you know what you're going to called in the future? Then the clouds are always shifting into clowns and things like toy barnyard animals, but without the noises. Wow. I love being in the mountains. It sure makes you think."

"I wonder who owns these mountains? Must be billions of dollars there in old growth timber. Oh, that's right, this is a national forest. Well we'll see about that!"

The scorching of California

"Due to the high altitude and thinning air, I wonder what would happen if I gave him a pretzel...what a photo op that would be...hmmm."

so little time. And I left the chainsaw at Crawford, dammit.

Karl Rove(from off camera): Can you see it, George, can you see the farm and the rabbits?

Bush(with joy): Yes, Carl, I can see it! It's sooo beautiful!

::BLAM::

And DU'ers by the score douse screen and lights
And gat them home to their repast, spirits bright,
Then come forth their colleagues of the night
With minds aflame to set the CAPTION right!

:kick:

... you know, almost like roads are adopted by the KKK and Staples ... everyone take care of their own hill although it doesn't seem to be working too well on the highways littered with trash ... or ... since it's all burned anyway, why not transfer some of my Road to Peace and the Nobel Prize map ideas right here ... there could be a water world with slides and Busch could build something to charge admission ... might as well do something with a bad situation ... no need to grow trees back here only to burn again ... if God don't want them there, what'cha gonna do but cooperate ...
