Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
The best just got a phone call from that noted economist Tommy Lasorda, shilling the Coward in Chief's social security piratization plan. "Dr." Lasorda even helpfully supplied the phone number of the local Evil Party senator (Gordon "I'm for civil liberties, but not for people I disapprove of" Smith) but not, interestingly enough, the phone number for the local Stupid Party senator.
Rocky: But that trick never works
Bullwinkle: But this time for sure ...
You know, when the Evil Party admits that they've given up on getting Stupid Party senators to back their latest attempt to redefine deviancy way, way down, but are instead phoning members of the Democratic Party to try and get them to apply pressure on Evil Party senators, well, I'd not be at all surprised to see a sudden downpour of whiteout in the Washington, DC metro area. Are we looking at another rerun of the UN security council, where their boastful promises of getting 16 of 15 votes in favor of the stupid imperialist overreach of the century were suddenly trimmed back to "Oh, we never planned to ask the UN about this, since we've got a coalition of the easily bribed who will follow along for a share of the loot!" (which, parenthetically, they never got. P.T. Barnum was right) right before the full might of Imperial America went out and sailed the self-proclaimed Strongest Military That The World Has Ever Seen™ right into the wimpy-looking iceberg that is Iraq.
Bullwinkle: Well, I'm getting close!

Actually, I thought it was very considerate of ol' Tommy to give me the phone number of Sen. Smith's Washington office and encourage me to call. I did, on the spot, and told them the proposed Social Security changes terrified me and I foresaw a generation (mine?!) of old folks living in cardboard boxes if they were enacted. I managed to slip in the line "the bankruptcy bill was bad enough" just to let them know I was paying attention. It felt good!
