Heidegger, Nixon, Husserl, Corey (was Re: What?)

[LBernier at tribune.com]

     "Ist das nicht ein schnitzel bank?"
     "Ja, das ist ein schnitzel bank."
     "Schnitzel bank, schnitzel bank, yaaah!"
     "Ist das nicht der haufen mist?"  
     "Ja, das ist der haufen mist."
     "Haufen mist, haufen mist, yaaah!"
     
     Jean, raising a big glass of hefe-weizen in hopes we're not going to 
     have another go-round of Heidegger, wha? ;-)
     
     P.S. Hunter Thompson says "What?!?" a lot in "Fear & Loathing on the 
     Campaign Trail, 1972"

Whether you're all being sentimental surrealists, derri-dadaists, or just
