An allegory is a dangerous reptile.
They’re right. Dick Cheney is one helluva poker player.
Anybody who writes like that and has commenters posting things like this:
I was playing poker last week with ashcroft. He had two pair and I had four kings. I thought I had him beat. When I showed him my cards, he siezed them and classified them as enemy combatants, Thus my cards lost their rights and were not subject to the rules of poker convention.
Well, those people get added to my links.
