The deer have been flocking to our yard like conservatives to a hate-radio talk show. It's been so hot 'n' humid that we haven't felt like clearing out the mess the tree guys left on Sunday, but the deer are enjoying it and are actually helping us out by feasting on all the leaves. We've had all sorts of visitors last couple of days - there was a beautiful huge red fox prowling around down there yesterday evening, and the BF saw the bear, sniffing around the veggie garden where the corn is just starting to form.

Ruh-roh.





And I though I was cranky: don't forget to check out this week's Top 10 Conservative Idiots at DU. It's a doozy! I never know whether to laugh or cry when I read them.




BFEE TO CREATE WORLDWIDE PROPAGANDA MINISTRY
The Warring Wonderchimp and his crooked yet clueless administration are intent on creating a permanent, fully staffed "Office of Global Communications" to coordinate Karl Rove's the administration's foreign policy message and supervise America's image abroad, according to senior officials.

The office, due to be up and running by fall, will allow the White House to exert more control over "public diplomacy." It will attempt to address the question the Ignorant Impotentate posed in his speech to Congress the week after the terrorist attacks: "Why do they hate us?" *

Headed by a yet-to-be-named "counselor to the president," the office would expand many of the responsibilities of the White House Coalition Information Center, which had booked many propaganda appearances in the Arab media after the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan began last fall. It was also responsible for laying out a uniform, daily message to high- and low-tech media outlets. It is that level of management, undertaken quickly and effectively across the administration, that the White House thinks it will be able to continue.

The new office is the brainchild of senior Bush adviser Karen 'Mommy' Hughes, architect of the administration's efforts to ensure a uniform message on domestic policy. Although Hughes returned to live in Texas early this month, officials said she will remain closely involved in the new operation. - From the Washington comPost.
