Still under the weather here, and in my depleted state I seem to be losing the battle with the blank page. If brain not in better shape soon I may have to turn things over to my Super PAC for a few days.

Thanks for the shout-out.
Who was Tom Bombadil? A terrorist. The name’s a dead giveaway!
Etymology:
Bomb –> (no explanation needed)
Bad –> (no explanation needed)
-il –> the Semitic suffix of divinity (cf. -el)
Meaning: “Bad God Bomb”
The guy doesn’t belong in the Tolkien oeuvre and needs to be deported from LOTR before he does something mad and rash.
