Round up

Before the claim that Rove had been indicted was determined to be false, I enjoyed this response.

I bet president Bush will have an empty feeling inside him if the indictment goes through.

You know. In the spot where Rove stuck his hand to make the president talk and move around.

19 penguins and 2 sea otters were returned to New Orleans, having been sent to the Monterey aquarium after Katrina. Next year, they’re going to be all like “Hey! Where’s our California vacation?”

Quoting Johnson:

Samuel Johnson’s famous dictum “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel” refers to the old 17th century understanding of the word “patriotism,” meaning someone who upholds the inherited traditions of the patria at the expense of king and parliament, or specifically in Johnson’s context, someone like Edmund Burke and the American ‘Patriot’ rebels. So, the next time someone quotes Johnson to you, you can look them in the eye and say “I agree. We should give unqualified support to our king and parliament.”
