Lost in Bizarro World

It is fitting that this past weekend NBC ran a retrospective on Saturday Night Live in the 1980s, because lately we are living in Bizarro World. The liberal Canadian government is proposing return excess tax receipts to its citizens in the form of tax cuts and the Republicans in the Great Sausage Factory here at home are 1) blocking tax cuts, 2) demanding the troops come home, 3) haranging oil company CEOs, and 4) coddling terrorists.

(Side note: I am slightly disturbed that after 20 years and, I like to think, substantial intellectual and emotional maturation, I still find a green-painted Eddie Murphy saying "I am Gumby, dammit!" uproariously funny.)
