No aurora borealis last night, but we did have a roaring bearealis. A bear came through the yard around 11 PM and woke up every dog in the neighborhood. The guy down the road lit up some firecrackers to try to drive it off. Our dogs, it turned out, were too busy raiding the kitchen garbage to care.




Bush remarks on "mission accomplished" banner embarrass White House
“White House officials say that a variety of people, including the president, came up with the Mission Accomplished idea, and that Mr. Sforza embedded himself on the carrier to make preparations days before Mr. Bush's landing in a flight suit and his early evening speech…aides had choreographed every aspect of the event."

Senate Minority Leader and prima ballerina Tom 'Isadora' Daschle, asked by reporters about the incident, called it "one of the most significant embarrassments of the entire Iraq experience so far.

"We've lost more lives since (Bush) declared victory than we lost prior to the time we declared victory. And this latest fabrication is yet another illustration of their (the Republican administration's) unwillingness to except reality."

"Now if you'll excuse me, Karl says I'm late for my obsequious snivelling refresher course."
