Everything is fine here.

These Bobcats moved in to a foreclosed home.  Gnome'll fit right in.

Elmo looks terrified.  Drudge is "reporting" that Oprah won't have Palin on the show, etc.  Interestingly, Oprah issued a rare "categorical denial," denying, it seems, the fact that her staff was divided on the idea.  It seems though, also, that she won't be appearing.  I don't see why not.  If Oprah really supports Obama (and has had him on, yes?) then why cannot she bring this person on and give her the ole rope-a-dope?  Like it says in this article....

Also gleaned from the Fudge Report is this from Bob Novak column regarding his tumor and recovery from surgery.  Touching.  He decries the Plames for having said (before his diagnosis, I assume) that his car ad typewriter should be taken away.  Sadly, the car has been, but the typewriter would involve changing the First Amendment.  This is only sort of true, as I'm not aloud to yell 'fire' in an empty theatre, or make threats against life, or yell SPY! SPY! This bitch is a SPY! in print.  But I wish him the best and a speedy recovery.  

I agree with you, Maureen Dowd.

And I still think SARAHPALIN is awfully memetic.

Especially when you consider the fact that I learned of Spornagraphy from this very same issue of Time right there.  Spore, as you tech nerds are aware, is the exciting, long awaited new game from Sims creator Will Wright.  In June, they released a "Spore creature creator, in anticipation of the games fall release.  Well, they wait is almost over, but the wait for Spornography has abated and become a deluge!  Praise Allah!

 The two most-ish depraved things I have come across in the past month or so have been 4Chan & now this.  BOTH were brought to my attention by TIME Magazine.  That is either a product of their shifting standards or a reflection of my being old now.  

Speaking of 'being old now' it looks like flagshippers SCIENCE FOR KIDS will be making some 10 year re-union show appearances.  How about that?

Glenn Beck vs. Tom Friedman!

Apparently, they're both prescient, in that Glenn Beck asks a svelt Palin sometime before June 2 (when vid was posted)  if she would accept VP nod (she says no) and Tom Friedman continues to lay out the deficiencies in the McCain/Palin energy "plan."
