He's also the guest who's been on the Colbert Report the most (six visits so far!).
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The man has gotten hate mail from children. It's awesome.

Going back to OMG last night, thanks Dana! I will get in touch indeed, and should be able to get together with her at some convenient place and time -- which makes for the happy, because that is one of my favorite all-time sweaters. (It is purple and silky and shiny.)
In other news, it is so hot and disgusting here that I overcame my nerves and lifted the AC unit into the LR window, while dead certain it would end up with it falling out onto the pavement. Desperation gave me the strength of ten... okay, maybe 3/4's the strength of a normal woman, but I got it in correctly, and now I sit in the cool breeze!

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

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm so glad to be back in Wisconsin. Temperature is in the tolerable high seventies, with sunshine and a nice breeze. We're going to our last swim lessons this afternoon.

We had Wilow and Oz action figures. And, of course, all the words to the Hippo Dignity speech on the cake.

Speaking of science stuff, Rachel Maddow showed a neat clip of the Obamas at a lookout at the Grand Canyon, and Malia was being quizzed on the three forms of rock by the park ranger. She knew sedimentary, but was having problems remembering the others (paraphrasing the clip here):
Malia: It's formed from cooled lava...
Sasha: Lava rock!
Malia: No, it's something else.
Ranger: It begins with an "i"...
Malia: Igneous!!
Ranger: That's right! Now, what's the third?
Malia: Ummm...
Ranger: It's a hard one. Met-...Meta-...
Malia: Metamorphic!!
It was just too cute to hear, and nice to see that vacations are for reinforcing learning even for the First Kids. And, hey, science!
