Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Here is the dadgum guv'ment song (but it is really bad! John Goodman does a much better job, but this is the only one I canfind except for one that seems to take the song as a serious indictment of the Obama/Biden administration

ETA: This one is a bit better, and it has the added hilarity of the stage crew walking through the curtains with chairs!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Werthmann explained how universal healthcare, an Equal Rights Amendment, and increased taxes were telltale signs of Nazism.

Also a sign of much of modern Europe. Including Britain.

Sigh.

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

So, is everyone over there going, "WTF is wrong with Americans?"

I mean, more than usual?

And now, some cat pictures....

Pictured: Astonishing photos of rare white Bengal tiger in feeding frenzy

Amazing.

'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"

Note: it's much more important to preserve regular tiger-colored tigers than freaky white ones -- the ones in captivity (I'm looking at you, Siegfried and Roy) are seriously misbred to get the recessive genes to express.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Daily Kos has some great Obama pictures up. [link] I love the last one of him with the little girl and the dandelion.

This might be interesting for Seattleistas and/or fans of steampunk:

Boneshaker: Cherie Priest's swashbuckling steampunk Seattle story

Cherie Priest's zombie steampunk mad-science dungeon crawl family adventure novel Boneshaker is everything you'd want in such a volume and much more.

eta: I don't want to copy the whole description, but... let me just add this:

And that's where the action kicks off, with son and mother chasing one another through the Blighted city of Seattle, avoiding the zombies, befriending the Chinese laborers who run the great machines that suck clean air from beyond the wall into the sealed tunnels beneath the city, trying to escape the clutches of the evil Dr Minnericht, the self-appointed king of Seattle (who may or may not be Leviticus Blue), befriending rogue zeppelin pilots, armored giants, and steam-powered cyborg barmaids.

Rogue zeppelin pilots!
