We are settting up drums!

Doonesbury is too much fun.
Today it goes from the white house:
"Five minutes to your press conferece, sir. Now, remember, stay away from the recession, the stock market, unemployment and the deficit. The message is war, war, war!"
"Okay. I think I got it... What if the press goes off-message?"
"We are setting up drums. Just stay with the beat."

$#^$%#%.
