Exit strategy

Let us contemplate the fetus at left, and any possible reason she may have for declining to be born at this appointed time.

Is she embarrassed by the liberal blogosphere making too much out of Colbert's bit at the Correspondent's dinner? Does she want to distance herself from the taint of Tomkitten? Was it just a matter of poor planning, like the Bush administration's exit strategy for Iraq? Or is it merely that being compressed on one's head in the dark, gooey innards of an increasingly ill-tempered human is really more like an overpriced luxury spa treatment than any of us recall?

Who can say?
