True story... Newt Gingrich, Al Gore and Bill Clinton were on Air Force One when it flew through a time vortex and deposited our wayward trio in the land of Oz. Departing the plane, our three heroes quickly sought out the Wizard and upon finding him (reading the Economist magazine) in his castle, the following ensued. "Mr. Wizard" rumbled Newt "my constituents think I am a mean-spirited, crooked, deceitful, dishonest little weasel. Could you help me? Could you give me a new heart?" The Wizard looked at Newt and gravely noted "Well, if anyone could use one...." In a blink of an eye, Newt smiled rhapsodically and wandered away. Next came Al Gore, looking a little hot and sweaty. "Uh, Mr. Wizard, I noticed that the local primates (i.e. monkeys) appear to be releasing excessive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Have you considered steps to control their colorectal emissions?" Quizzical and confused, the Wizard noted that weather conditions in Oz were just fine but that he would take the observation under advisement. "Well, O.K. Mr. Wizard" continued our stiff and sweaty hero, "Well then, I have been told I am somewhat deficient in the personality department. Can you help?" "That I can do" exclaimed the Wizard and moments later Al was skipping away humming Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World". Finally is was Bill's turn. "How's it hanging?" queried our fearless leader. "Appropriately" responded the taciturn Wizard. "Good, good, that's real good, glad to hear it...by the way, where's Dorothy?" <<<fade to black>>>
