What a strange thing it is to have a day off in the middle of the week ... it's enough to make Thursday feel like a Monday. Oh well ... here's what-a-gwan:
Conversations:
Al Gore to Tipper: "Well, at least the boy was in a Prius..." (after his son gets pinched for possession of marijuana, Xanax, Adderol, Soma and more. And just days before daddy's 7-7-07 global warming concert? Duuuude...
Venus Williams to Maria Sharapova: "Thwak!"
Fort Lauderdale's mayor to gay men: "No sex in the champagne room public restroom!" Cue the robot toilet!!!
Robert Novak to Valerie Plame and her husband Joe Wilson: screw you.
Historian to Bush: you're no Harry Truman.
Close calls?
A man is arrested outside Barack Obama's hotel in Iowa holding an eight-inch knife. Scary, with shades of Bobby Kennedy, or a security detail overacting? I hope for the latter but fear the former is more on the money.
Untruths?
The British government says the idea that the eight doctors and others who were arrested in the recent attempts at creating 'splosions at Glasgow and London airports were al-Qaida isn't quite accurate... now THIS is al-Qaida, if you still believe they are the boogeyman the administration wants you to believe they are...
Not so smart?
Some Iraq war protesters are pulling a thoreau and withholding federal taxes. Good luck with that one...Labels: Al Gore, al-Qaida, Barack Obama, current affairs, gays, Iraq war, news, Plamegate, Robert Novak, terrorism, Venus Williams |
