A Message for Today: "Bomb" is Bob with an M

Bob Newhart is a great comedian you never hear about today, and folks today are worse off for it. Anyone who decides to make a career as a solo straight man deserves applause; anyone who actually pulls it off, though, is a certified genius.

Evidence that we might be better off comes from strange corners. While many folks complain about how badly the war in Iraq is going, I have it on good word that things over there are actually going quite well - for a campaign. How does that support my suggestion? Apparently Catch-22 is all too real in its depiction of things military, and that sort of thing goes way back. And we postmodern civilians don't realize it.

So, with that in mind, it brings me great joy to relay a blast from the past - because things could be worse. Enjoy.

Addendum: Agent Intellect has posted something about these lines; read it here.
