The old Oasis song "Champagne Supernova" has been running through my head all day. Only my brain has rewritten the song so it's "Campaign Supernova," forming the soundtrack to a vision of John Kerry and George Dubya Bush at a presidential debate, reaching out to shake hands but as their fingers make contact, a flash of blinding white light envelops the two men, the platform, the room. As the light fades, we see the debris of a ruined world, bloody flames consuming buildings, cars, people--and a grinning Dick Cheney lurches toward John Edwards, both men miraculous survivors though looking rather the worse for wear, Dick reaching out his hand to John's, John with a deer-in-the-headlights look, mouthing "No no no" over and over but unable to move from the spot...

What's that? Oh, just water, green tea, rooibos, the usual. No, no, nothing alcoholic; why do you ask?
