View From the Bushes

My friend got a box of Unhinged boosters today. This is the second time Magic: The Gathering has done what I guess you would call a "tongue-in-cheek" set. And I've got to tell you, most of the cards are pretty funny. They've got the "Wet Willie of the Damned," the "Assquatch" (leader of all the Donkey cards), "Punctuate," which does damage to a card equal to half the punctuation marks it has in the text box, and perhaps my favorite: the "Infernal Spawn of the Infernal Spawn of Evil", an 8/8 flying, trampler with first strike.

I had sort of hoped that he would step down voluntarily, but I guess there's an audio clip out there on the internet which reportedly is a recording of him losing on Final Jeopardy. It's too bad. While he was playing and winning, it distracted people from viewing Utah as the homebase of the evil SCO and the incompetent Orrin Hatch...
