Surprise, Surprise, Yawn, Surprise

Set up the camera over there, Lomo. No, not there! Fix it where that bluebonnet is in the foreground at my feet. I need something to espy during this interview to distract me. All righty then. Let's check it out. Pan the camera up to the LDR's visage then down to the bluebonnet. Up to the LDR, down to bluebonnet. Up to the LDR, down to bluebonnnet. Yawn. There, that's better.

Jeez Louise! I hope I can stay concious through this and not conk out. Lomo! Could ye do some tumbling er brachiating around while we're awaiting the interviewees? Maybe some antics will perk me up. Ha! Monkey shines! All righty then, I feel better. Lomo! Get down from there. Here they come. Roll it Lomo.

Today I, the LDR of the Druid News Service have arrived at a sparsely vegetated traffic island at the intersection of Lamar Boulevard and US Hwy 290 in Austink, I mean Austin, Texas. This particular intersection is rather famous due to its magical properties, to whit, the unwary motorist traveling through this intersection may suddenly find that he/she is suddenly transported miles in the wrong direction, fetching up in Oak Hill or Del Valle. But all that aside, today I am visiting with a pack of dispirited liberals. Here they are. Could you please select a spokesperson from your dispirited group, and don't step on the bluebonnnet! Back off! There, that's better.

While the dispirited liberals are selecting their interviewee spokesperson, I the LDR, will explain why this particular traffic island was selected for this, yawn, interview. It was selected because, due to the droughty conditions, it was the only location in these parts with a bluebonnet. So, given that TV journalism in these parts is partial to a natural diversion the camera can be panned, on to, we have selected this location.

Are we all ready? Yawn. Do we have an interesting interviewee spokesperson selected to answer the LDR's question, maybe? Yawn. All righty then.

Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. or Miss dispirited liberal spokesperson, are you surprised, given the well-documented, long-standing Republican doctrine that the only legitimate role of government is to provide additional sources of income to the wealthy, that the government, under total Republican control, implements this doctrine? Yawn.

First, let me say how happy we are that the Druid News Service is providing us dispirtied liberals with a venue to express our concerns with the president's handling of Iraq, Katrina, the ports, and ...............

Snore.

What's wrong with the LDR!

Rayetta conked out. Lomo cut. You go now.
