W: it's OCTOBER SURPRISE month...

If you had gone rafting with me on the Arkansas River, in Brown's Canyon, and we entered the zone Toilet-Bowl to House Rock (we're very literal, there... liberal here...), we might have stopped, to demonstrate and watch as small driftwood sticks tossed into the current got caught in the torrential whirlpool, turning swiftly, around and around, but always slowly moving closer to disappearing down the epicenter...

I sense this in the United States...

a brewing mass hysteria...

created from a litany of policies...

horrible, deadly: augmented by the spices of conveniently-timed 'news flashes' of terrorists' collective literary offerings, perfected through a 'regime change' that Bush and his Congress are effecting on the United States Constitution.

A mass hysteria that Bush could overcome with a bit of Martial law, mass internment of 'oppositionistas' and further media control...

Welcome to October, the month of Bush Family surprises...
