I hate it when my heroes get wooshed. First **Eve** in the ‘sun’ thread, and now **Miller**. It’s been a depressing couple of days here at the SDMB. And as to the OP: get a life! Everyone knows Dick Cheney guided those planes/missiles into their targets via remote control from his ‘undisclosed location’! 😉 ---

They look similar, but it’s Karl Rove at the controls. Dick Cheney is actually a very elaborate mobile explosive device - HE’S the October Surprise. ---

omg – **Miller** got _whooshed_? I may have to take to my bed. You know I think reading the goat book was some sort of signal. Now that I think of it, didn’t Dubya hold his book upside down when he read to the kiddies before? I think it is a vast right-wing kiddie conspiracy. Yeah, the kids are even in on it. Out of fear they may be left behind otherwise. This is getting scary. ---

Bush was \*\*definitely \*\* on one of those planes. I even have conclusive evidence to back it up. My cousin-in-law’s sister’s boyfriend’s mother’s best-friend’s hairdresser overheard it from her boyfriend’s father’s girlfriend that she had recalled seeing an article that proved it. So there you have it. Sorry to burst the bubble of all you non-believers, but its true. 🆒 ---

See. Now we have a cite to prove it. Thanks **Keapon Laffin** , great work. And please tell your cousin-in-law’s sister’s boyfriend’s mother’s hairdresser’s boyfriend’s father’s girlfriend thank you for all of us. ---

And Bush _escaped_ from the first plane by flapping his huge ears like a giant, hairless Bat, and soaring evilly over his hapless victims. The second plane must have been piloted by Prince Charles, then. ---
