Don't be a Dick

Cartoon by Glen McCoy

I guess we should be glad this week that we live in a country where cartoons like these are par for the course (and plentiful). Cheney and the Bush administration have all the lashings coming to them for being so secretive about this event. It makes a person wonder what was going on in those 24 hours between the shooting and the news release that didn't come from the White House, but from a member of the hunting party. If this was the accident that they are claiming it was, then why the delay and the secrecy? Can this administration not even handle an accident without a public relations pitfall? I suppose not.

the justifications on the delay are pretty pathetic. even scott mcclellan said it should have been handled better and we all know from watching "the daily show" how tight-lipped the press secretary is. bottom line to me is if there was nothing to hide, then why not come forward fast to press and the white house. it just makes no sense to be mum about it if there truly was nothing to hide because of the fall out that unsurprisingly did happen. cheney lives in his own bubble as has been proven in the past week,

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
