I’ve spent the last 30 minutes drinking coffee, eating waffles, fussing at the dogs and wandering around the world-wide-web. Nothing but bad news out there.

and Missy’s Laying Over There So I was chatting with Tony the other day and he was telling me about his next book. And I am excited to see what sort of Royalties Tony’s last book generate. And then we got to talking about Mr. Big Food’s next book. And it occurred to me that

I couldn’t resist passing this along. It seems that we Redneck Gun-Totin’ Country Mice out here in rural Mississippi are smarter than David Cameron, the British Prime Minister. Steyn: Appearing on David Letterman’s show a while back, Cameron was unable to translate into English the words “Magna Carta,” which has quite a bit to do

these storms, too, shall pass. The problem, of course, is that these days you can’t trust anyone with a $5,500,000,000 annual budget who’s over/under the age of 30. If it weren’t actual thunderstorm & lightning very very frightening out there, I’d be skeptical about this image. I note that Rocky is on edge.

If I had to whittle my list of favorite people of all time down to five, I’d be happy to report that, tonight, they are all under one roof. So to speak. It’s a stretch to call what some of them are sitting under a “roof.” It’s lacking in structural integrity. Dang. It’s a metaphysical
