We, The Peephole

Attorney General Ashcroft said his farewells at the Department of Justice today inspiring William to rerun one of his favorite nursery rhymes:

Wee Johnny Ashcroft
Runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs
In his nightgown,
Knocking on the window,
Crying through the lock
"Are any terrorists in there?
It's past eight o'clock."

William's Whimsical Words:

What do you expect of a man who has Ed Meese as a hero?
