Got any sourdough?

As you ponder your fellow citizens, standing around a burn-barrel, ingesting their hobo stew, take heart. Tomorrow, the mulatto from Chicago takes over, and he has promised his little girls that he'll make it, "Aw better." You, unfortunately, are expected to suffer, even though you may have done nothing wrong. It's called "shared sacrifice," a Marxist concept. Good luck.

FYI: It is possible that the "B" in Chesley B. Sullenberger III stands for Baldwin. They truly are everywhere.

CORRECTION: Research reveals that the Molvanian form of Chesley is spelled Chesjley, adding the obligatory, extraneous "j" that permeates the language. In that incarnation, the name means "winged hero," where "winged" does not refer to airplanes, which are just now catching on in Molvania. On the phone, Simun, the Consul, also said he doesn't believe that monkeys can fly or care to swim. In addition, he asked me if I had any spare change I could send him. I suggested he ask the Obama, of whom the little girl interviewed on TV optimistically said, "He'll be a good President; my parents told me so."
