Coda for TMR XX
So there I was yesterday afternoon running past Dick Cheney's house listening to my iPod (Wait--you know the undisclosed location? Great; now Nancy Pelosi will waterboard you so the MoveOn crowd will know where to protest.--Ed. I thought Pelosi was against torture? Oh, wait. . .) Anyway, a Ben Folds tune came up in rotation with the suitable ode for us old guys:
. . . Pretty soon you'll be an old bastard, too.
You get smaller while the world gets big,
The more you know you know you don't know shit,
The Wiz Man will never fit you like the Wiz Kid did.
So why ya got to act like you know when you don't know;
It's okay if you don't know everything. . .
