We're off to see the Wizard!

The scene above is famous as an urban legend. It is reported to include a "Munchkin suicide" in the distance, where the yellow brick road turns. It suggests that all is not well in Oz. In actuality it has been explained as a large bird used in the movie, being brought back into control by an animal wrangler, similar to a campaign manager.

My dear friend Chan sums up last nights election results nicely:

Whom did the country just elect?

After journeying along the Yellow Brick Road during this election cycle, our country, with its diverse band of Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Good Witch, Wicked Witch, Munchkins, and Flying Monkeys, finally reached the Emerald City last night.
On January 20, we'll pull back the curtain on the great and terrible Oz and discover his true nature.
