Cartoon Saturday

In Colorado Springs, a man armed with a Klingon sword (a bat'leth) held up two convenience stores and remains at large; actress Jennifer Anniston was in tears after finding a single gray hair; actor Christian "Batman" Bale launched a profane category 1 tantrum on the set of his new movie (using the f-word an astounding 36 times) after a crew member irritated him; in true bipartisan spirit, Democrats and Republicans in Congress are peeing on each others shoes and blaming each other for failure to be bipartisan instead of passing economic recovery legislation; and Robert Mugabe is still running Zimbabwe as his personal ATM while hundreds have died in a cholera epidemic and inflation is at 231 million percent.

Sit down, have a drink, and let Cartoon Saturday take your mind off things for a while.

I liked this one just because it was so wonderfully dumb...

Even though Amanda and Mike try to fill the gap, I still miss Numeric Life. Nobody could do numbers like she could. Except, perhaps, for ...

And finally, you know things have gone too far with junk liability lawsuits and ridiculous claims for damages caused by people's rank stupidity when you see the real impact ...

Well, now that that's out of the way, I guess I should do the usual fun things for a Saturday morning like bringing my checkbook up to date, deciding what to fix for breakfast once Agnes gets up, and renting a front-end loader to move the dirty wash down to the laundry room so I can think about washing it.

I love relaxing weekends.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.
