of course (and thanks for the info). BTW, the critique of the "ding
dong the witch is dead" response to Obama's election and Bush's
imminent fall should be aimed at Hollywood (specifically, Warner
Bros.), not at Baum.
I was thinking about my earlier response about Bushie's songs ("if I
only had a brain" and "if I only had a heart"). What about "if I only
had the nerve"? Yeah, that's part of W's repertoire: he compensates
for his basic cowardice by being a bully.
