This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love this police report: it's like a clown car full of belligerent drunk friends!

It's like an endless chain of stupidity.

OK, the chain ended after five, but still....

Iraqi journalist throws shoes at Bush

And the saga continues....

Across Mideast, Arabs hail shoe-hurling journalist

BAGHDAD -- Thousands of Iraqis took to the streets Monday to demand the release of a reporter who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush, as Arabs across many parts of the Middle East hailed the journalist as a hero and praised his insult as a proper send-off to the unpopular U.S. president.

The protests came as suicide bombers and gunmen targeted Iraqi police, U.S.-allied Sunni guards and civilians in a series of attacks Monday that killed at least 17 people and wounded more than a dozen others, officials said.

Journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi, who was kidnapped by militants last year, was being held by Iraqi security Monday and interrogated about whether anybody paid him to throw his shoes at Bush during a press conference the previous day in Baghdad, said an Iraqi official.

Oh my. If someone paid him to throw his shoes at Bush, that means there's a whole shoe-throwing conspiracy....

I *knew* something like this would happen as soon as Stewart & Colbert went on hiatus. It never fails!

'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"

If I hear of a Bush motorcade happening anywhere near me, I'm so going to go throw my shoes in front of it. I so wouldn't mind walking home in my stocking feet for that.

Compassionately intolerant

At the end of the Great Peace March, many of us tied our shoes to the White House fence in a symbolic, if futile gesture.

I'd love to throw my entire shoe wardrobe at Bush but I'd get snipered and that would blow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, in totally other news, have we seen this Buffista Cake before?

It's perfect and fabulous and named for us. How is that possible?

The bakery is in Ann Arbor...Aims?

It's probably been linked before but I was trolling around Cake Wrecks yesterday and was astonished to find this beauty in the gallery of the Sunday Sweet entry.

What does fondant taste like? As much as I love these more perfect than perfect art forms, I don't imagine I'd like eating the actual cake.
