...That rosier scenario would provide some temporary political relief for the White House; it won't change the President's approach. The Bush-Cheney plan is certain to focus on increasing energy production. After all, you won't find any tree huggers in the White House: just a proud Texan who sank a few wells in the oil patch and his deputy, Cheney, a Texas transplant who made millions as CEO of Halliburton. Those ties give critics plenty to latch onto as the President and the Veep stump for achieving greater capacity by opening a pristine Alaskan preserve...
...Colby said something interesting a few weeks back - "My only loyalty is to Tina." Which could mean one of three things: One, that sweet-yet-ruthless Tina, using her nursing skills, has successfully Freuded her way into the Vexin' Texan's mama's-boy heart, and the two have agreed to face the jury together and let the first and second prizes fall where they may (heck, Colby's already got a car). Two, that Colby somehow doesn't realize that whoever can get into the Final Two popular vote-off opposite Keith is a shoo-in for the grand...
...Which of course means he'd better win one more, or else Keith and Tina - who've been natural allies from the very beginning - will surely realize they'd rather face the jury up against each other than the toothy Texan. Tina would probably win, but for Keith - who's actually more of a "survivor," in terms of pure can't-shake-him doggedness, than Colby, who's more of a "prevailer" - it's all about getting to the next round and seeing what happens...
...wasn't that some kind of cool car? Yes, the Vexin' Texan kept right on ridin' in the penultimate week of "Survivor II" (but don't panic - there'll be an extra week of Doritos and Budweiser commercials when CBS sops up the last bit of ratings with the homecoming-themed "Back from the Outback" in two weeks!). For outracing his tribemates through a sort of Greatest Hits obstacle course (I think these guys are running out of new ideas, aside from putting Probst in blue this week), he got a Brand New Pontiac Aztec, With a Tent That Goes...
...Challenge was a clever one - basically a listening-comprehension test, something intellectual, and thus a chance for the other four to topple Colby, but the Texan turned out to be Bush-smart enough to take it when the chef Homer Simpsoned it away. And hey - we all learned a few things about the Outback...
