PHOTOS: Best Wild Animal Photos of 2008 Announced
This is my fave: [link]
Winner, "Animal Behavior: All Other Animals" Category
An aptly named winner of the 2008 Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest, "Deadlock" was captured in the dead of night in a Belizean rain forest.
U.K.-based David Maitland observed from midnight to 3 a.m. as a rare Morelet's tree frog doggedly refused to become supper for a cat-eyed snake--and still didn't see the conclusion.
"I would love to have seen them go their separate ways, but I was exhausted," the photographer said. "The frog was all the time trying to pull the snake off, but the snake just wouldn't let go.
"This frog is actually incredibly rare, which lends to the bizarre nature of the whole encounter," he said.
Photo #3 is especially sad:

Heh.
Did you hear the story about Palin's prank phone call.
Politico Article
It's pretty funny.
Dana! Are you watching the new season of Spooks? Did you watch Code 9? Did it suck?
I am so far behind on Spooks.
t sigh
Someone will have to tell me if something really important happens on the puppycam. If I have it on while I'm working, no work actually gets done.
Sarah Palin goes all incoherent again:
"...there must be something about San Francisco and he because it’s like I heard on Fox News today, it’s like a truth serum where when he’s there, he seems to be more candid, and remember it was there that he talked about, there you go, the bitter clingers, the cling-ons, all of us, I guess, you know holding on to religion and guns and, um, so something about he being there in San Francisco.”
They don't think she meant Klingons??
I'm just voting after work tomorrow -- I haven't seen lines in my current place, but we'll see what happens tomorrow!
Why do I listen to these videos on CNN?
Security guard for McCain
It's fine you like McCain better, but at least have accurate reasons.
The Bitter Clingers would be a good band name.
They don't think she meant Klingons??
Well, there was that Star Trek movie - the one with the whales, where they travel back in time in a captured Klingon warship, and they hide in San Francisco.
So I bet that's what she's talking about. We should kill all the whales and polar bears before folks from the future arrive in Klingon ships to come get them.

Someone has to continue the Republican tradition of having at least one person on the ticket who has some occasional troubles with the English language.
Oh, Dana. How far behind? S6? Further?
Tommy, this photo is way creepy. Can you have a monkey uncanny valley?
