Woo! 

More surrealism!

Lessee, what can I add to all of the stuff I was adding up with Columbian
Revolutionary Maoist Drug and Human Contraband Smugglers, End-of-Welfare and
Tech-Crash Jobseekers, Impending Economic Recession and Credit Crunch, Water
Power and Fuel Shortages, and Escalation in Columbia Kosovo and the Middle
East?

Cool! Awesomely surreal! what an Idea!

Hordes of desperate junkie hillbillies, suddenly cut off from their
incredibly powerful pharmaceutical dope, descend in a panic onto the nearest
unsuspecting Big City, Washington DC, in search of a fix.

You know, if I even _tried_ to put all of the recent headlines into a
science-fiction novel, I'd be laughed out of town for writing the most
ridiculous story they'd ever seen.

Howdy, Stranger..... than fiction.
