E-RFD: Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road????

(Edited down. Original version Sent to us by Trudi Merwin <trudim@bear-clan.com)

B. Obama -- Because the chicken wanted change.
J. McCain -- to engage in dialogue with other-minded chickens.
J. Kerry -- I was against crossing the road before I was for it.
T. Brokaw -- How does this question emotionally affect the chicken?
A. Einstein -- Did the chicken cross the road, or the road slide under the chicken?
E. Hemingway -- the chicken crossed the road to die in the rain. Alone.
Hillary -- this isn't about me.

Note: E-RFDs are messages that circulate around the internet. They're like calls to a radio talk show. Some are factual and some are not. We make no distinction between the types, here, but rather offer them pretty much as they come in -- as examples of comment and rumor from a global mind.
