27 WASHINGTONIANS

I'm sure there are more of them. These are just the ones who were in my line of sight. They seem like a disconsolate lot, don't they? Maybe they're all beltway insiders who believe that when Obama sweeps into office he's going to confiscate their wealth and share it with terrorists and community organizers and such, who will make them all wear blue jumpsuit uniforms with giant "O"s on the back, who will call up all the world's dictators on the phone and surrender to them, who will bring in busloads of Muslims to his inauguration, where they will let their goats run free in the White House and spill falafel in the Rotunda, who will conduct house-to-house searches for Joe The Plumbers and nationalize their little start-ups, who will force Jennifer The Plumbers' Wives to have abortions whether they are pregnant or not. How unpleasant it must be to be so afraid of the world. I guess that's why we have gated communities.

What an interesting header. The bowels used to be thought of as the seat of the emotions. Is this a commentary on the mediaeval world view? Or haven't you pooed for a while and it's on your mind?
Whichever you find more appealing. Actually, as a Looker not a Thinker, I was fascinated by how similar the intestines and brains looked, all these writhing undulations, chock full of feces. There's a metaphor here, but I csn't for the life of me think what it is.
excellent commentary once again. nice banner. yes i think the current saying is that "the gut is our second brain"
Oh gosh I've just discovered you can get an RSS feed for the comments on this blog.
Some day you really must go to a city where there are some happy people.
My dirty secret: happy people are boring to draw.
Then some day you must come to Kilburn.
Is that Abe Lincoln in the center?
