Speaking of Smirk-Chimp, here's another good omen for Kerry:

It is after all, the "Year of the Monkey."



A year of sidestepping problems and clever manipulations, backed by intelligence and guile. Short-lived, transitory projects and the open exchange of ideas filters our emotions through an agile and razor sharp intelligence. Using a great sense of humor (and sarcasm) Monkey years, hold out bright prospects of a fascinating future, rich in the unexpected. A year of "transformations." A year to give full rein to your imagination, but also be wary of over-optimism, allowing tolerance of the intolerable. Do not let your garden be over-run with weeds (destructive factions could bring trouble if allowed to propagate). Riots, revolutions and the overthrow of rulers, keep everyone on their toes! Monkey years spin everyone's concept of "normal." Bluffs, tricks, ruses and deceptions abound during Monkey years; Those who enjoy risk and novelty, thrive; Those who prefer predictability and convention, wince.

1. perfect! And soon this Chimp will be back in his Crawford cage

hurling his feces and clearing brush

[mumon]

2. Or perhaps he might wind up as an entree

in a re-make of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."

3. what is up with all that brush clearing?

a conservative Republican friend of mine made the point that "no self respecting Texas rancher clears brush himself. That's what <derogatory term for Mexicans> are for."

I thought he has a point.

[mumon]

4. Good point...

Maybe it's really "bush clearing." Sort of a projected suicide.

5. photo-ops, my friend.

6. It's all he knows how to do.
