The first new entry begins:
"October 15, 2001
Dear Diary --Things sure have changed in the last few weeks. Fer one thing, nobody's allowed to make fun of me anymore.
In fact, hardly anyone even dares to criticize me. They're afraida losin their jobs like those columnists did. Or their big ad bucks like that awful Bill Maher. Cause as Ari's always sayin, everyone's gotta watch what they say. Unless it's something bad bout Bill Clinton -- hahaha!
It's way cool that the scaredycat Dems are so worried bout bein called unpatriotic, they're barely makin a peep. And lotsa mean liberal Internet sites have closed or are on some kinda hatus. I guess they don't want to be hunted down by all the new spy laws Congress is afraid to say no to.
Not that things have been easy fer me lately. I've hadta work real hard and learn a buncha new stuff -- like never use the word crusade ever again. And be real careful who I call folks. Plus that first big speech I made after the attack was so important they made me practice it fer hours with that damned prompter. But it was worth it. I did real good and my proval rating shot up to somethin like 90 zillion percent.
Even that braggin Cheney couldn't steal my thunder though he sure did try, tellin one of them TV talk guys how he made all the decisions on Sept 11th while I was hidin out in my plane. He picked one hellofa time to start tellin the truth..." The October 15th excerpt continues here:
