Al Sharpton, to Michael Jackson’s kids: “There wasn’t nothing strange about your daddy.” Joe Mama, in comments: “It’s these kinds of reckless statements that risk tearing the very fabric of the space-time continuum, trapping all light and heat, and sucking a good part of Los Angeles into another dimension.” Heh. (Actually, if we take Sharpton’s use of the double-negative literally,… Read more »
With our new baby due to arrive any day (hour?) now, it goes without saying that I want to have my photographic ducks in a row. There will, after all, be a lot of moments and memories to photograph in the immediate future. But alas, my digital cameras have picked today, of all days, to fall apart on me. First… Read more »
Peter Anthony Rasmussen’s groom’s cake, posted on Facebook and republished with permission: I love it! Reminds me of our introduction at our reception:
Hope you’re all having a great holiday weekend. Here’s a photo from today’s ingenious Stapleton 4th of July parade, in which the “floats” are the strollers and bicycles of the neighborhood’s abundant kiddo population: This evening, we’ll head to Becky’s cousin’s barbecue, and then hopefully catch some fireworks.

She has just gift-wrapped, tied in a bow, and sent to Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, postage pre-paid, the perfect… Read more »
From the “Signs Of The Apocalypse” files: Joe Biden has arrived in Baghdad for a surprise visit to meet with Iraqi officials and U.S. troops. Yes, that’s right: Joe Biden managed to keep something secret. Ladies and gentlemen, the end is nigh. PANIC!!!
With another set of “Tea Parties” coming up on Saturday, I figured this would be a good time to re-post the satirical anthem that I published as a Facebook Note back in April. It’s sort of like a sequel to Becky’s and my Election Eve version of “One Day More” from Les Misérables. This one, though, is set to “Do… Read more »
The Ultimate College Sports Bar Smackdown semifinals are still underway — polls close Friday night — and after falling way behind early, The Backer has rallied to a near-tie with Clemson’s The Esso Club. At last check, it’s Esso 2905, Backer 2826. Bottom line: Fellow Domers, THE BACKER NEEDS YOU!!! Vote for The Backer, or Al Franken and ACORN will… Read more »
