For the lovely Lemon Stand

Yes, I've been remiss. And she asked so nicely.

HAHAHAHA!

HAHAHAHA! Whoever put this together is a genius.

Aw Ted, how could you?

A spike? That's almost as bad as shooting a girl. Dude, I'm so disappointed.

Headline of the year

Stolen from Emily:

Tired Gay succumbs to Dix in 200 meters

'Nuff said.

Happy Independence Day!

and a repeat of a most eloquent quote by Benjamin Harrison, which more than any other I have ever read captures the solemnity and gravity of the signing of the Declaration of Indepencence:

I shall have a great advantage over you, Mr. Gerry, when we are all hung for what we are now doing. From the size and weight of my body I shall die in a few minutes, but from the lightness of your body you will dance in the air an hour or two before you are dead.

Happy Birthday, America. And many more.

Oh, and an apology to some of my readers who still hang around. I just now noticed that I had some comments pending moderation on older posts. So Kate, Laura, Dirtcrashr, and two others I now forget - they are now posted. Apologia all around.

I'm not saying a word about the old Kleagle.

JEEBUS!!!!

It just hit me, something that was trying to nudge itself into my consciousness.

About that Helen Thomas thing. Something has been nagging me about the old bag's choice of countries; it just hit me that it couldn't have been more, uh, interesting.

Most accounts of the Holocaust recognize six German Nazi extermination camps, all located in occupied Poland:

Auschwitz II (Auschwitz-Birkenau)
Chełmno
Bełżec
Majdanek
Sobibór
Treblinka

Before tonight, I just wanted the old bag to retire. Now I want the old bitch to crawl off and die.
