Hardly, Jim, and not because a camel's back is, _per se_, a hump,
sometimes two. But this event might be the last straw after all
if we remember that unspeakable glories of significance radiated
from that Website even before our first panting fellow citizens
logged on with twitching fingers.
2 years ago we watched members of Congress, acting with grave concern
for the tender minds and souls of America's children, attempt to clap
our favorite hyper-redundant global network into the village stocks.
Last month we watched the same sanctimonious dickheads stampede to
grace the Net with some 400Ks of presidential porn, obviously fixed
in the thrall of an obsession that hid a veritable Everest of plain
contradiction from their inner sight.
Forgive us for doubting the wisdom of your inscrutable ways, Lord,
and forgive us yet more abundantly if half of your humble servants
don't make it back to Washington after November 3rd. Amen
