The usual "reliable but anonymous" sources have told our intrepid reporter 
that these were fans of rex, the wonder doggie, and that they didn't trust 
government water as it was part of the cliches of totalitarian socialism.


You see, when one is hammered by the cliches of totalitarian socialism, one 
quickly forgets anything except taking rex, the wonder dog, out for a "walk" 
so s/he/it can relieve him/her/itself of the cliches of totalitarian 
socialism as well as that day's excrement.


Even the Army National Guard (a cliche of totalitarian socialism) is 
reluctant to try and fill rex, the wonder dog, with cliches of totalitarian 
socialism.

Of course, what is needed is a private army national guard - perhaps one of 
the "new militias" - that would compete on costs and non-cliches of no 
totalitarian socialism - to rescue those injured, bury the dead and bring new 
and magnificant cliches of totalitarian socialism from Wal*Mart, the dream of 
every mother and father who want their chuldren to grow up and be Bill "The 
Software Rex" Gates.

Other than that . . .
