Hillary and Lady Bird? Can Helen Thomas be far behind?
Posted by Cousin Jim | February 16, 2008 5:50 PM
I had vivid dreams last night, too.
Bushbutchery comes marching, (Hillary is in the front ranks), and the atrocity, desecration, can only be stopped when we abolish 'CIA/NSA/FBI,' abolish 'Homeland Security.'
Notice your pulse hesitate when you read and re-read that -- showing your fear is of them, not a fear of the 'awful enemy' from which they lie in pretense of shielding America. Judge yourself, your pulse, for yourself.
Posted by Tenskwatawa | February 16, 2008 7:34 PM
Just abolish 'shrooms and your pulse will slow down all by itself.

Yes, but life would be much less interesting.

Ya gotta cut out those late night coffee drinks Jack.....the caffeine will do that to ya!
Posted by thaddeus | February 16, 2008 10:17 PM
I don't do caffeine. I attribute this particular dream to stir-fry leftovers with sweet chili sauce.
Posted by Jack Bog | February 16, 2008 10:40 PM
Tylenol PM always gives me crazy dreams but I don't think I can match that one.
Posted by portlandia | February 16, 2008 11:01 PM
Jack,
You should have stopped and talked to Lady Bird. She would have said "Hillary has the party machinery churning for her. But that's not want you want, dear. You want the most intelligent candidate, the one that will bring about real change, the one that's not in bed with an Ftroop of special interests, you want Obama." Then, she would have given you some hot milk and put you to bed.
Posted by gannicott | February 16, 2008 11:11 PM
There were two other women standing next to Lady Bird, who was on her own right as she faced me. They could have been Linda Bird and Lucy Baines, but I was too awestruck to look.

i had a dream the other night that had Cleveland playing New England in next year's Super Bowl with NE winning 10-3 in the 2nd qtr.
Hmmmmm....
Posted by geoff | February 16, 2008 11:51 PM
What is it with dreams about Hillary lately? You're the third or fourth person I've read who's had a Hillary dream. We Obamaites seem to be sleeping much better with our decision.
Just a thought.
Posted by Chris Snethen | February 17, 2008 1:00 AM
Obamaites
Didn't Moses kill all you guys?
Posted by Jack Bog | February 17, 2008 1:03 AM
Hillary.
Dream?
Man, that just don't add up!
Posted by Dave | February 17, 2008 5:46 AM
"Obamaites" - you know, those folks who believe in a guy who is this generation's version of 'a-chicken-in-every-pot'. The man is painfully short on details, but whatever you want, he'll promise it - jobs, lower taxes for poor and middle class, higher taxes on wealthy and corporations, free health care, affordable housing, solving CO2 emission problems. You name the problem and what you think the solution should be and he'll agree with you. The man is so clueless it's laughable, pick one of the problem/his solution from above and he either has no way to fund it or his idea is virtually unworkable. The problems that his 'solutions' generate are ... incredible, the man is scary. The problem is that Hillary isn't as clueless but is just as worthless. As much as I dislike him, I'll be voting for McCain over uber-socialist (Obama) or socialist (Hillary).

I can't remember the contenders populating my dreams recently. But since I moved east, I have had some with an interesting combination of characters: One night I dreamt my college roomate from the 70s and Jack Bog were building a playground. That one also featured my mother and various friendly space aliens, of the sort my subconscious may have borrowed from the bar scene in Star Wars, except for one who resembled a yellow Norelco cordless razor.
Then I have a recurring dream about a guy I meet on a bus or train and keep trying to find. I can't tell if he is anyone I know because he is wearing Groucho Marx glasses and nose.
Posted by Cynthia | February 17, 2008 5:38 PM
I wish you had seen Eleanor Roosevelt too. Then you could have asked her if Hillary was lying about that whole channeling bit.
