Maybe the White House could consolidate these positions into a Director of Irony.

Oh please, please, PLEASE let Jon Stewart show this on the Daily Show!

Speaking of which (tangentially) anybody else see Amy Sedaris' appearence on Colbert? HMoG, I couldn't breathe during the tumblerobics display.

The Sedaris clip is online.

OMG, RIO!

I was just thinking about EAT A MUFFIN, WHITEY! as I chowed down on a cranberry bagel the other day!

My nearly one-year old second born is currently upstairs in her cot not napping, and banging her dummy on the radiator. I can hear sing-songy noises as well. Good times.

Dear lord. SHE WAS JUST BORN. How can she be almost one????

Breakfast: organic apple poptart knockoffs, one cup black work coffee, one small can grapefruit juice.

brenda, I hope today is much much better than yesterday!

I watched that Sedaris clip on Gawker this morning, and it made my life much much better.

Oh! So, I called the one credit card company that wants to blame me for the fraud AGAIN, and got a different person on the phone. Turns out "my" guy hadn't called me back because he's been out of the office, due to having a baby. Oh. OK then. AND it seems likely that they blamed me because they didn't have my phone number. So I'm confident it will all work out.

I was so productive this morning! I was Taking Care of Business! I was Getting Shit Done!

Me too, and then I came to work, where things aren't working well.

In other cute animal photo news, I saw this series of kitty vs. stuffed crocidile pics linked from Cute Overload--so freakin' cute! Reminds me of my Amarna attacking her catnip-infused minipillow.

The stuffed crocodile menace really brings out the fierceness in kitties.

Oh dear ... babies and puppies and kittens. Not quite ded of the cute yet, but approaching it.

And I LOVE that first picture of the kitten!

Those kitten pictures are fantastic.
