W is thinking: hmmmm, I think this country could use some liberating ... I see a lot which can be blown up just to be rebuilt ... that old nuclear power plant behind me ... gotta be sure and run this by Dick and Karl ...

1. Is Junior walking the plank over the Bosphorous?

And why is the safety net above him and not under?

2. I think I'll go for a walk outside now,

The summer sun's calling my name, I hear it now.
I just can't stay inside all day,
I've got to get out, gimme some of those rays.

Everybody's smiling (sunshine day),
Everybody's laughing (sunshine day),
Everybody seems so happy today in the sunshine day!

5. "Let the Eagle soar....." That's as much as I care to remember of

Ashcroft's little ditty.

6. W. is "thinking": "Gotta go up and speak. . . It's really a drag always

having to say somebody else's words and pretending I mean them just like they were ideas that I had and that went on into words in my head and stuff. . . . Like maybe I could have an idea I could speak into words sometimes like anybody else, or they could be the same words and the same ideas only I could have them if they came into my head. Geez. Why is it so hard when it's so clear?"

7. W. is "thinking": "Wow! I just had a doozy of an idea! We could privatize

NATO! And then private business could turn it into something that made sense like: Nice Antelopes Turn Over or Nature Always Tuckers Out instead of North American Treaty Alliance which doesn't even make sense."

8. "Yep, sounds just like listening to

Laura's ear . . ."

9. Hmmmm. He said to take a long walk on a short pier...
