Odds And Ends

I've been meaning to post this for days:

The morning of the Inauguration I received a birthday card in the mail at work from my friend Sharon--probably the last one of this type I will ever receive.

On the front of the card is a picture of (now former) Vice President Cheney speaking with (now former) President Bush.

Cheney: Did you hear we're getting over 100 Brazillian troops to help us?
Bush: Wow... that's fantastic.

Same picture on the inside.

Bush: How much is a brazillion?

Followed with the birthday message: A brazillion wishes to you on your birthday!

For another piece of "last of the old Presidency" humor go take a look at this post on Susan Russell's An Inch At A Time.

If you haven't seen this clip of Gene Robinson on the Daily Show, go! Especially, the first 50 seconds or so.

A friend relating a conversation that he had with his spouse regarding the cold weather in Washington, DC, at the Inauguration: Remember all those who said "It will be a cold day before a black man gets elected president!"...

Peace,
Jeff
