Here's what's happening tonight:
Barack Obama holds a rally in downtown Austin, with lots of trees and skyscrapers nearby. Someone shoots him. Hillary Clinton tries to be off camera at target time, but gets caught ordering the "hit," the conspiracy unfolds and both Democratic candidates are out of the race in one day. Even though Ted Kennedy is standing on stage with Obama at the time, he survives (but doesn't enter the race).
Michael Huckabee gets a "word of knowledge" about John McCain, the press and public eats it up, but the public is not confident enough in him and the former Arkansas Governor doesn't get elected. In an odd turn of events Sam Hurt cartoon character Hank the Hallucination wins in a landslide.
I don't have an overactive imagination. It just seems that way.
PS Nothing turns people off quicker than politics they don't agree with. Not everyone reacts this way. Hopefully I have carefully couched any political bias so carefully that no one reading this will know who I'd vote for.

Posted by: Officer Holiday at February 22, 2008 08:19 AMI didn't "know." The stars just aligned and it was the second thing on my mind when I saw the rally announced on the news this morning. Texas, JFK, tall buildings, racism, hatred, the South, guns, and then there's Ted Kennedy. Can you imagine the shock he'd feel?
Posted by: Doug at February 22, 2008 08:21 AMFelt. Shock he "felt." You know, we'll have to detain you. You just know too much.
Posted by: Officer Holiday at February 22, 2008 08:22 AMYou can't detain me. I have a magazine to run. Besides, detaining me for being smart is dumb.
Posted by: Doug at February 22, 2008 08:22 AMWhat was the first thing that you thought when watching the news this morning?
Posted by: Officer Holiday at February 22, 2008 08:23 AMMy first thought was: 'Rally? Go. Be there. Historical, etc, etc.'
