surreality

Pirates?

Hijacking oil tankers?

Isn't that the plot of Superman V or something?

That's not really playing on my TV screen as news, is it?

The American auto industry, the entire industry, saying it probably won't make it until the spring?

Maybe electing the first black President tipped us into one of those parallel universes you hear smart people talking about all the time. It's just like our world, only your name is Jim, the president's black and pirates roam the seas.

What's next?

Brigands?

Powdered wigs?

It's getting very strange out there.
