Hell, if it were Bush he would have swum to shore and reported his car stolen. ---

If you’d like to search, look for Kennedy or Kopechne in the last week. I may give it a look. I could use the distraction. ---

> [@Dishfunctional](#): > > Hmmm… looks like I could also use a better crystal ball. Nah. Too dependent on exquisitely tuned intuition. The plain old Magic 8 Ball is equally effective if you are, like me, about as psychic as a handful of mud. Let’s check: “Bush bites it!” Well, there you have it. ---

It would be Colonel Condi, with the rope, in the bedroom… Oops, that would be a “Bush fantasy”, not a “Bush Assassination” ---
