Cartoon Saturday

Teen singer and actress Miley Cyrus has gotten her fifth tattoo (a dreamcatcher on her "torso"); major unrest continues in Egypt as protesters attempt to force president Hosni Mubarak out of office; Pope Benedict XVI has rejected an attempt to fast-track the process of sainthood for Ronald Reagan on the 100th anniversary of the former president's birth; the Internet has exhausted its pool of 4.3 billion numerical addresses; and lawyers for Republican gadfly Sarah Palin have filed applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the names "Sarah Palin" and "Bristol Palin."

Relax, take a big dose of Cartoon Saturday, and call me in the morning.

Effective justice consists of making the punishment fit the crime. Usually ...

The mortgage crisis is hitting everywhere ...

For those of you who aren't familiar with American dialects: trust me, it's funny ...

Sometimes, schools just don't teach you everything you need to know ...

Amazing how this always seems to work out, isn't it? ...

Those of you with small children (or grandchildren) can probably relate to this one ...

The realities of the new economy ...

There really isn't much that's funny about a character like Adolf Hitler ... except, perhaps, this ...

And finally, I think this is more accurate than funny, especially here in Disneyland-on-the-Potomac ...

Well, we're supposed to be getting liquid snow today here in Northern Virginia, as we seem to have successfully dodged the massive blizzards that have ravaged much of the nation...there's no snow in our forecast until around Thursday, so there's plenty of time for everyone to race to the stores in a panic for toilet paper, ground beef, and other critical necessities. Since we have enough toilet paper, though, I think I'll just sit back and watch the Steelers crush Green Bay in the Super Bowl.

Around here, in the midst of traffic, crime, and Congressional buffoonery, that's about as good as it gets.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow.

P.S. - GO STEELERS!!

Heading to the store to stock up on toilet paper, bread, eggs and milk. And maybe more flashlights. :)

I love cartoon saturday (although, the first paragraph is always my favorite part). Have a great weekend!

Read the article -- it's interesting and includes a few things I did not know. Still, I will continue to refer to the airport in DC as "National", and will continue to rue the fact that I could not wait 15 hours longer to give birth to our son who will be 35 tomorrow.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to look for that sense of humor that poor couple lost...
