Preparing for Her Testimony

Since I have to work well into the night and might get up just in time to see Dr. Rice sit down with the 9/11 investigatory panel, I'm trying to decide what I should have handy. Right now, I figure I'll need:

big soft bunny slippers so I won't break the glass when I kick the TV in disgust

easy access to any of Sissela Bok's books on lying

a barf bag courtesy of the last time I flew since we realized Dr. Rice wasn't paying attention to airplanes used as weapons

an Anybody-But-Bush button to prick myself with whenever I'm sure I must be dreaming all of this

a good stiff drink (alas, for me, coffee...)

to put fresh batteries in the smoke detector in case my head spontaneously combusts from all the lies
