DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING >>>

As you may have clued into by this point, every Friday the Weekly Volcano posts Owen Taylor's "El Vacio Moral" column - a weekly legislative update from Olympia. It's become a regular, bizarre feature - and we really like it. Personally, seeing what Owen's addled mind comes up with every Friday is often the highlight of my week (I'm a sad, sad man).

Unfortunately, though - as we should have anticpated from the beginning - the threat of a special session in Olympia has sent Owen into a downward spiral of intoxication and strange entertainment choices. He emailed me this morning to promise his usual El Vacio Moral column will be ready to go Monday morning - promising a "Epicc wrap-up million miles from Graceleand coup de tat stilo..." Whatever that means.

Anyway, look for your usually scheduled El Vacio Moral Monday morning on weeklyvolcano.com. Until then, here's an excerpt from Taylor's crytpic email to tide you over.

"I am absolutely drained, giddy, melancholy as hell (or he'll, whatever the iPhone will have you believe), and before I drag you or any of our pristine readership down into this pit electroshock-treatment qualifying madness, I am demanding a special session on my own sanity! Monday! I'm high watching Akira! Don't bring them into this!!!"
