That was a size 10 shoe he threw at me

December 17, 2008 | George Bush,Iraq,Media,Politics,SNL,Television,U.S. government

That’s what President George W. Bush said after ducking shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi journalist.

See? Everyone’s a comedian. Maybe he’s lobbying for Amy Pohler’s old job on Saturday Night Live.

Headline of the day. But, then, I’m partial to the whole Dude headline theme. Maybe I should see the movie, eh?

Still freezing …

December 15, 2008 | Iowa,Weather,Winter

… with jaw-dropping (or -locking) 30-degree-below-zero windchill.

Is that even legal?

Well, it shouldn’t be.

Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba, said the monkey to the chimp

Sayings that make me giggle.

“It’s always in the last place you look.”

Well, actually, it’s usually in the second-to-last place I look. Because after I’ve found it? I like to keep looking.

Gandy, Smeal: Maloney should replace Clinton

December 4, 2008 | 2008 campaign,Barack Obama,Colbert Report,Hillary Clinton,Politics

The National Organization for Women sent a press release today, announcing that the NOW Political Action Committee and the Feminist Majority PAC endorsed Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, D-N.Y., to replace Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., in the Senate if Clinton’s nomination for U.S. Secretary of State goes through.

The press release quoted Kim Gandy, NOW president, and Eleanor Smeal, Feminist Majority president.

Hmm. I wonder why they didn’t announce it on Comedy Central.

I never meant to be so cold

Iowa,Weather

My car tells me the outside temperature. If it could talk like my GPS, though, I think it would have a lot more to say about the current state of arctic affairs. (I keep expecting my GPS to start screaming at me, instead of calmly repeating, “calculating route,” over and over and over again when I don’t do what she tells me to do.)

It’s amazing to watch the inside-the-garage temperature drop to outside-brrr temperature … 30 degrees in two minutes … when I drive to school every day.

It’s almost like watching the stock market.

Los Lonely Boys: Always

December 3, 2008 | Family,Los Lonely Boys,Music,Stuff

After listening to Superman, oh, 5,394 times, the kids were finally interested in hearing what else is on LLB’s Forgiven CD. I picked Always, my favorite, and now they call it “Mommy’s song.” They like it because the tune reminds them of the Curious George song. But my son also listens to the lyrics and realizes it’s a love song.

“Is this the song at your wedding, Mommy?”

“No, but it would have been a good one, huh?”

All together now: Awwwwwww.

You oughta be in pictures

Stuff

My son just discovered the video function on the camera he got for Christmas last year. I heard him doing a step-by-step documentary-style of “how to wash your hands.” Then I heard him tell one of his sisters, “Be quiet! I’m making a movie!”

As much as I want to support the arts and foster his creativity, the minute he records me snoring sleeping, that thing is outta here. I will so not be ready for my close-up.
