Cue Wizard of Oz... Would the world be like the Munchkins if W choked on

another pretzel and shunned his mortal coils?

Would they be singing "Ding Dong, the witch is dead?"

Or would there be a worldwide month of mourning?

1. I'd hold a party!

If GWB died of natural causes, I would be happier than I have been in five years!

2. I think it would be a party....

I wonder if it even bothers him (or if he knows) that this would most likely be the case.

But, then again, he's on a mission from god...

3. He must be held accountable

if GWB just disappears tomorrow with a suitcase full of cash, he must be held accountable, his theft of the presidency has created precedents which must be dealt with,
we have to change America back from Thugs-R-Us to an America which stands for truth, justice and the American way.

[benburch]

4. AMEN.

There is nowhere he could hide for long, I think.

5. I have the weirdest feeling that he is going to skip out

Maybe with a letter of resignation left on his pillow for Laura to find,
I don't think that he cares one thimbleful for the American people, this
has always been about one-upping his Daddy, getting the big deals, getting the power and money denied him in the private sector, and it was all based on lies and a cynical manipulation of his followers. He's more of a cult leader than a seasoned politician.

6. With his last breathes he would bellow out this song...

I could while away the hours
Conferrin with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel every riddle
For any "individul"
In trouble or in pain

With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another LINCOLN
If you only had a brain

Oh I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit
And think some more

I would not be just a nothin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain

I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain

Gosh it would be awful pleasin'
To reason out the reason
For things I can't explain

Then perhaps I'll deserve 'ya
And be even worthy er've 'ya
If I only had a brain

7. Sadly, the Heimlich manoeuvre is the #3 domestic priority.

Immediately behind social security reform and ahead of getting more pretzels.
