Psssttt!

PSSSTTTT!

Over here!

Hey. How's it goin'?

Yes. I am the scarecrow. You didn't see me? Really?

Cool.

I am on Double Secret Terrorist Duty. Securing the Homeland.

Actually to secure my homeland I would have to split myself into fourths and go back to Europe.

I think this is somebody else's homeland. Oh, well, always willing to chip in and do my part. I'm also a member of Sertoma, Kiwanis and Noon Rotary. I love meetings. I'm a people person.

Anywho ... hot enough for ya?

Well, what do you think?

Is this the end of our American Fascism Period - or just the beginning?

You think we will have elections in 2008? You think Bush and Cheney and Rove will walk out voluntarily?

Or do you think like Wingnut Willie or Wacko Wanda, that they might do another 911 and put us on Super Secret Double Probation for our own good?

That's the question of the day, the week, the year, right?

I don't know.

I am just here to do my duty. To protect and to serve and to eat pizza. That would be my motto, I have decided, if anyone ever asks what my motto is. I swear that's what it is.

I was in the Hospers post office yesterday.

Rush Limbaugh is always on in there, loud.

(Article Continues Below)

I wonder if anyone listens, or if it's just on for noise, like having Paul Harvey on over noon in the cafe so nobody has to really talk to each other.

I heard, though.

Limbaugh was talking about illegals and how they were dangerous and they were terror-type individuals.

That's why I'm wearing this white hood and sheet out here in the garden.

I want us to be free.

I want it so bad. My dreams are all about baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet.

I want our kids to be free to grow up and join the national guard and go kill who needs to be killed and then have the freedom to come back and worship in the church of their choice and work at Pizza World.

I'll stand here all day, or until my arms get tired, to make sure that happens.

I love the ol' Fatherland, Motherland, Disneyland, I really do.

Shhh. Here comes those g.d. aliens.

They just stare. That bugs me. I think they know it does.

They've got a round ship and blinking lights and I think I've seen 'em around here before. They all look about the same to me.

Shoo! Shoo! Go on .... scat!

Git! Git!

Okay, well. I might be here awhile. They don't seem to speak English. Like I'm surprised.

Go about your day.

I got this.

- Mike
