"What are we going to do tonight, Brain?"

"Same as we do every night, Pinky--take over the world." Anyone remember that cartoon? Seems apropos.

A person would have to watch 5 or 6 episodes to appreciate the level and quality of "satire." One of my favorites that I recall was a satire on that 30s radio show where the aliens land it does look like there is a war with them, and they are taking over.....(I forget what show but Orsen Wells was involved)...

Well...that was so special that I recall it from 15 years ago. or was it ten? Satirical in a way that was incredible, because, the Brain really did want to take over the world..he had many plans and designs, but something always went wrong....a very bright guy,,but the bright ideas didn't work out too well..........

....................................................and he wasn't the first like that...My favorite of course was Wiley E. Coyote ...now he was also very bright and very cleaver...But.......it seems that his ideas didn't work out either, and he had some terrific ideas..Now do you think the Brain and Wiley E. were related?
