Combat dispatch from the Gonzo front

Shawn Macomber apparently noticed I used a Hunter S. Thompson quote in a recent article, and responded to an earlier blog post with this comment:

I never wanted war, Mr. McCain, I just wanted to offer a credible threat that would allow UN inspectors more time to examine your bookshelves and resolve this Gonzo crisis peacefully.

The Mother of All Taunts! If Macomber keeps this up, he's going to find himself in a quagmire with no exit strategy because -- trust me -- I need another excuse to go Gonzo. I need it bad. I need it like Ed Muskie needs more Ibogaine.
