Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, brings down the
house with his much requested impression of Maynard G. Krebs,
Dobie Gillis’ wacky Beatnik pal. The audience screamed”WORK!?”
as the president did each of Maynard’s famous lines–
“Let’s go downdown and watch them knock down the old Endicott building”

“Ooh. Ooh. The Bijoux has the Monster that Devoured Cleveland.”

How do we know it was a serious plot? THE BRITS ANNOUNCED IT. The White House ecstasy only makes sense if the U.S. voters are to choose between Labor and Tories in November.
