Well, with everyone being so...Icon-oclastic lately.....heh heh ..... I figured the Drudge Siren is supposed to call your attention to something worthwhile going on......so when I entered this A.M.......

[xsmommy]

[hobbes1]

[TxBec]

[hobbes1]

Naaahhh....More akin to the Lovely Sunrise, you provide first thing in the AM. All that blather is way too much trouble to do all day long.
