Bleak House
I'll cop right to the nut of the matter: I haven't read that Dickens novel. But the title speaks to me. I know, without Charlie D's blessing, what a bleak house is. Am I a normally ebullient character, brought occasionally low by wicked circumstances, ready to bounce back when the thundercloud has passed?
Nay. I would venture to say I'm psychologically like that Iranian president. Ready for the End Times. Holocaust, apocalypse appeal to me of late.
Face it: the world is on tenterhooks. Someone, somewhere, probably the fucking Persians, will ignite Hell. Nuke Israel. Then retaliation. Then we droppa cuppa. Sucks, but it beats the ennui I've been experiencing. And Lord, how the aurora borealis will flare up! Time for one of those Alaska cruises.
Those muslims won't hurt me - I voted for Kerry.
Right?
You and I may have to settle for a shitload of expensive whiskey and the hope that the looneys hit someplace other than Jersey or Florida with the first nuke.

I like Jimbo's idea though. Expensive whiskey has it's appeal. Be me luck those crazy bastid's would miss you both by a few hundred miles and blow up my corn, bean, and tomatoe patches.
They'd actually be crazy enough to blow up a victory garden...
Ebullient, Tenterhooks... man, tell me their ain't gonna be a quiz... and tell me you don't count off for spellin' stuff wrong...
...and I've been spelling it 'tender' all my friggin' life. I'm off to slit my watch holder, you ebullient bastid.
