"Conan The Wimp" from the WaPo... very funny op/ed piece
you will have to register, but lie like I do.

<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A17173-2003Sep2.html>



snip:

"Do they not know that I will dash the bad king to the ground?" asked Conan the Taken Aback. "That I will rule with cunning and strength? That Pete Wilson has given me his staff, and I shall use it wisely? Even those who raised his treasure, though I have treasure aplenty, yet I shall use them, for who hath treasure enough? Is this not enough for the people to know?"

But it was not. Thrice had the people invited him to meet his rivals on the field of battle and answer their questions and those of the scribes.

"I have heard their questions on 'Entertainment Tonight' and 'What's-His-Name Hannity,' " said Conan the Softball-Accustomed, "and answered them so well that they anointed my brow. I spake of carousing in Oui Magazine, yet all the right forgave me," Conan continued, waving a copy of the Weekly Double Standard.



more good stuff

Mit Austrian accent: "I haff tventy-tree veiss men who can do frac-chunss."
