I'd like to thank my parents; the members of the Academy; my Special Education instructors who believed in me when most people did not; Bill, down at Liquor Emporium; the boys in the bar ordering boat drinks; Desdemona who's building a rocket ship between batches of cookies; and the 12 volt man...
Oh, and let's have a big hand for tonight's entertainment: The Bob Roberts Society Band.
