mr. t [needs no sidekick]

we resume our story... mr. bin laden, not wanting to worry his mother that he might really be dead, will be issuing another press release in time for this weekend's talking head shows.

dubya will be saying we need to remain firm in our resolve and that the surge is working [they no longer say "stay the course" or "cut and run"--it seems "victory vs. surrender" is the verbage currently in vogue] but he just wants to ensure the republican candidates support more war.

but the one true american hero will be able to cut through the bullshit, and accomplish the task everyone, it seems, has been talking about.

can he do it? he already has, and here's the proof.
