    I bear orders from the captain, make you ready, quick and soon...

    Let the Blue Dogs bay. Let the ethnic lobbies lob choriza blintzes. Their flicker of efficacy is dying.

    To quote one 28 year old lass, as heard on NPR just after the election:

    "I'm ready to do whatever my president asks of me".

    Today, he asks us only to pledge.

    And to prepare.

    For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon.
