:thumbsup:

[Neil Lisst]

4. Thanks oasis. Your comment is an oasis ...

Glad you like it. I toyed with other ideas, but settled on that one. I have a feeling we're going to get to do some others.

I want to do a SPY v. SPY homage to Mad magazine at some point, since it was influence.

5. SPY vs. SPY. Funny stuff. The original cartoonist Antonio???was a

refugee from Castro's Cuba. "Mad" was my favorite reading material back in the early sixties. The cartoonists were fabulous.

[Neil Lisst]

6. Me, too. My first real insight into politics came from MAD.

Which I started reading about age 12. I still remember one of Martin's cartoons about uberpatriots who "love America, but hate 3/4 of the people in it."

10. Spy vs. Spy homage

Have the black spy looking around the corner at the white spy, who is looking around the corner at the black spy. Each of them are radioing in their surveillance, that each is illegally spying on private citizens. You could even have them share a cell when they're both locked up for carrying out their domestic spying orders. Still reporting on each other, naturally.

A nation of snitches.

11. That is a good idea.

The problem is the copyright on those dudes. I recall there being a case arising out of someone using it, maybe a band?

I'm sure parody is an exception, but is it worth the grief?

Maybe over the holidays. I'm going to write some theme lines for 06 over the holidays. To me, part of the fun is mixing in pop culture, TV shows, movies, etc. Everyone is more interesting as a caricature. And some stuff, like making DLC founder Al From a cobra being waited on by fat cats - well, that's just special!

12. It doesn't have to use the actual spies

But one guy dressed all in black and the other dressed all in white should carry the message well enough. Yeah, copyright restrictions are always a caution, but I don't think anyone, not even Disney, has the copyright to black and white. I could be wrong, though. I often am.

[Neil Lisst]

13. True, but I really do want to do the whole Spy v. Spy look.

aw, to hell with 'em.

I'll do it, anyway.

[DELUSIONAL]

3. Good one!

and that's why they will fight tooth and nail to prevent the release of the list.

[Neil Lisst]

7. Thanks, DELUSIONAL. Clearly, you're not delusional!

I'm so glad it's the big story on the TV news this AM. We had this one done within a few hours of the story breaking. I think it will be the big story, and overwhelm his lame attempts to convince the public his war is great.

[Neil Lisst]

8. since this silly bastid is on TV now trying to explain it away

I'll send this up again.

He's listing off all this big accomplishments, as if anyone really believes them.

STFU you little lying weasel.

[Neil Lisst]

9. afternoon ride

back up

[cyberpj]

14. And I'm pretty sure Fitzpatrick makes the list! nt.

[Neil Lisst]

15. I suspect Fitz is one they're monitoring.

In the interest of national security, of course.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if they have Fitz bugged so they know what is coming.

[DELUSIONAL]

16. I'll bet that odds makers aren't even taking bets on Fitz

[Neil Lisst]

17. I may sound crazy but ...

... but I don't think there's anything Team Bush won't do to keep in power.

And I do mean anything.
