NOTES

• Me as a coyote: I couldn't draw myself as a cowboy on the bridge, so I substituted the coyote I'd been in an earlier dream. My reluctance to draw my human face was so strong I didn't fight it. Guess Reagan makes me ashamed of my species.
• Mahakala is the Tibetan Buddhist god of right anger; a protector. As far as I know he hasn't really put out any TV ads yet.
• Annie Oakley was a sharpshooter around 1900; her life inspired the musical "Annie, Get Your Gun." Once I dreamed I was Oakley, in Annie, Get Your Gown!
• The Hoover Institute at Stanford (on Page 2) is where Reagan's economic policies were thought out--to use "thought" very loosely.
• Tip o' the cowboy hat to Jonathan Swift for the use of his Yahoos. Though there's plenty more where they came from, sigh...
• I cringed, writing "Don't be attractive unless you know who you'll attract," for I don't want the Yahoos to win--to block the bridge, to keep us from becoming unicorns. But caution is advisable in a gun-slingin' world. I'm a unicorn these days, most of the time, but a gun-shy unicorn who keep his eyes open. You should too.
• "Don't laugh, it's hard to paint with your horn" is a parody of Picasso's sexist pronouncement "A true artist paints with his cock!" I always thought Picasso's girlfriends were better equipped to grip a brush than him. Or did he mean he, um, fingerpainted...? Hmm, on second thought I don't want to know--my list of the world's Seven Toxic Wonders omits the Cadmium Weenie. It was hard enough washing my horn off.
