You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

There's a public playground on my walk to the subway that's got a whole lot of Little Tykes stuff that lives there for all to play with. Even the vandals haven't figured out how to destroy it, evidently.

“Not dead yet!”

Keith Richards and the cockroaches will be driving the coupes and living in the Cozy Cottages.

Oh dear-- just not enough coffee in the world for that image.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Kat, that is AWESOME! Makes me wish I had a yard.

Our neighbors just bought a new dishwasher and the box it came in has been repurposed as a playhouse. The boys are VERY posessive of it - if one of them is in there, the other will try to climb in and push the other one out. So far no blood has been drawn.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It sounds just like puppycam!

Our wings are not tired.

Noah, the little rocket man.

I am very much looking forward to the pictures. Despite knowing that the earworm will be there every time.

Oh good lord. They've been reporting all morning on reports that the selection process for Obama's Senate seat might be, shall we say, a wee bit unsavory. Now, they're interrupting to say that Blagojevich has actually been taken into custody this morning.

How many governors do we have in jail right now? Always room for another, I guess.

Unsavory politicians are so much more fun than the uncorrupted. TDS would be out of business without them.

Here's Blagojevich yesterday after it was reported that the Feds have been secretly taping him:

“If anybody wants to tape my conversations, go right ahead, feel free to do it. I appreciate anybody who wants to tape me openly and notoriously. And those who feel like they wanna sneakily and wear taping devices, I would remind them that it kinda smells like Nixon and Watergate.”

Okay, leaving aside the massive misunderstanding of what happened with Nixon, is that really the name you want to be invoking right now? Really?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's....kind of awesome. If you're going to be shady, go balls to the wall!

Everyone is late for my meeting, sitting in traffic. I am ready!
