It has begun

The United States is urging U.N. inspectors to get outta Dodge — er, Baghdad. Dubya will address the nation tonight about the need for moderation in our celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. No, really, he’s gonna help us get our war on.

Is it now too late for a patriotic American to criticize the war on Iraq? More to come later. Now I’ve got to go to this news conference.

Driving back to Chicago from Springfield on I-55 I saw an odd, small sign sprouting out of the middle of a field on my right-hand side. It said, “THE VILLAIN THOUGHT.” Odd, I thought.

Then, 200 feet later, another sign in the same style read, “HE’D PLAY ROUGH.” Hmm, interesting.

The last three, all spaced 200 feet apart, read thusly: “UNTIL THE LADY / CALLED HIS BLUFF / GUNSSAVELIFE.COM.” Heh, heh, heh. Very clever. See the other verses the GunsSaveLife.com folks have come up with and read about their legal battle with the Illinois Department of Transportation.
