The cowboy re-aligneth

Folks, here we go. Now it's little Tommy Ridge on his way out. This might come as a "Dallas" season cliffhanger surprise to some, (and the fact I just wrote that disappoints me greatly.) but really, who are we kidding? About the only thing he secured was a cool job title for his resume.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve got nothing against him personally and at one time he was governor of the fine state I now occupy. But honestly, he just seems too much like that kid in high school who wanted desperately to be cool so he would hang with the jocks and be the brunt of their jokes. This is what I refer to as the "Soul Swirly". If I have to explain what a swirly is, you obviously deserve one.

All kidding aside though, you could put the Kool-Aid man in Mr. Ridge’s spot and get about the same results, only with a lot more "OH, YEAH! s" Also, the alert system would be categorized by Kool-Aid flavors with the most severe being: Mandarina Tangerine.

On the bright side, our nations greatest turd, W, has nominated the nation’s greatest yes-man to fill Colin Powell’s position and that person is a woman! That’s right, Condolezza Rice got the nod from W himself and she will continue on to serve our country with the same endearing ambiguous handling of issues that have raised here into the highest annuls of yes man-dom. Whoops, yes WOman-dom. My bad.
