I can only imagine what urgent and frantic meetings the US Embassy in Windhoek must have had on Wednesday and Thursday to formulate a new policy on public statements seeing that the world’s number one hole has been given his marching orders by an electorate fed up with weapons of mass destruction.
Perhaps, under a new enlightened administration, the gullible US citizen will find out the Federal Reserve is a far more powerful weapon of mass destruction than any delusion dished up by the Republicans.
Long live the Democrats and long live America, but thanks God we have come to the end of a painful eight-year stint under Bush. At least now the embassy staff can look one in the eyes again.

dangerous to your health”, “Alcohol reduces driving ability, do not
drink and drive”, and “Drinking during pregnancy can be harmful to your
unborn baby”.
