Reality's a bitch, isn't it? No, wait, it's not reality. It's the bearer of
the tidings of reality. Reality's just hunky dory. No, wait, it's the
intersect. No, it's a dog. It's plane. No, it's Superamerican. Whatever.
Like Cindy Sheehan said, Americans have what they deserve. Too bad they're
inflicting it on the rest of the world. But wait, no, they're not. It's just
that messenger again.

I once helped break up a fight between a Weimar Reiner and a Doberman. The
Doberman had had the early going, but the Weimar Reiner, with advantages of
mass, power and guile, seized the Doberman by the throat and began to work its
jaws. For the Doberman to have any chance at life, intervention would be
necessary, so on the count of three, a friend and I each grabbed a set of back
legs, and lifted. The improvised trick worked fine. I have since wondered if
the principle could not be extended, but with people unfortunately, once they
get up on their hinds legs, it's really quite a problem knowing where to
grab hold.
