You may need a scorecard to keep track of these players:

Clintonites caught in bedroom farce: From Nantucket comes this surprising story concerning the recent wedding of Sky Raiser, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton's chief of protocol, Molly Raiser.

After a night of partying on the Massachusetts island, bridesmaid Lyn Stout decided to play a practical joke on the bride and her groom, David Perlin. Stout crept through the Raisers' darkened house into what she thought was the happy couple's room and did a swan dive into the bed.

"I'm here to spice up your life!" she announced.

Unfortunately, it was the wrong bed. Former Clinton national security adviser Anthony Lake, who'd been fast asleep next to the mother of the bride, immediately awoke and sat bolt-upright. (Molly Raiser's sleep was apparently undisturbed.) The quick-thinking Lake quipped to the mortified Stout: "Must've been quite a party!" NY Daily News

Shut up, Chris Matthews:

Vice President Dick Cheney better remain in a secure, undisclosed location - at least if MSNBC's Chris Matthews is lurking. Speaking at Brown University this week, the "Hardball" player told students that the White House's rationale for invading Iraq was "totally dishonest" and that the Veep "is behind it all. The whole neo-conservative power vortex, it all goes through his office. He has become the chief executive ...It's scary."

Cheney and the neo-cons saw in George W. Bush "a man who never read any books, who didn't think too deeply, and they gave him something to think about for the first time in his life," Matthews said, according to Rhode Island's Woonsocket Call.

A White House spokesman tells us Matthews' analysis is "disrespectful, totally false and irresponsible. Mr. Matthews has lost touch with reality. The President made the decision to go to war using the same facts as the previous administration and the United Nations, which judged Saddam Hussein as a threat to the region." source.

Say it isn't so!

It's been nearly three weeks since Chelsea Clinton and boyfriend Ian Klaus appeared to be having a spat at the PM Lounge. (After putting her in a cab, our spy heard him tell a friend, "I love her, but I hate her.") Since then, Chelsea has been spotted at Pipa, at the Canal Room and at Phil Suarez's new restaurant, Lucy. Klaus was missing from all three outings ... (Daily Dish, NY Daily News)

...and many happy returns to Mr.BWB!

Subject: Golf


Two old folks got married. As they were laying in their wedding suite, staring at the ceiling, the old man says, "I haven't been completely honest with you. I think the world of you, but you are only number two to me. Golf is my first love. It's my hobby, my passion, my 1st love."

They both stare at the ceiling for a bit longer and then the woman said, "While we're baring our souls, I guess I better tell you that I have been a hooker all my life."

The man jumps out of bed, looks at her a moment then says, "Have you tried widening your stance and adjusting your grip?"

Good morning, everyone.

Thanks for the caucus information...I guess it's starting to make some sense to me.

81 more days 'till you have your state back.

Happy Birthday Lodwick...Are you going to drive several hours to your favorite hamburger joint or will you settle for cake today?

Re: Elizabeth Smart and David Gest.

About David. Can anyone say GOLDIGGER? Sheesh, already after an heiress. Most of them have more money than brains, especially if they want a flaming gay man like Gest.

re: Elizabeth Smart. I don't know if you listen to Don Imus in the morning, but he was ripping the Smarts, Couric, Walters, Winfrey and all other interviewers a new one. This is so shameful. We could have all forgotten about Elizabeth and she would have been on her way to a normal life if her parents were not capitolizing with this book and pimping out their daughter. It's shameful. Absolutely shameful.

Below are the photos of my friend's backyard. He's in Upland. He was able to save his house, but all the new landscaping is gone. The fire came within 40 feet of the house.

He's a forensic dentist and is on his way to San Diego to identify bodies. I heard that one couple was identified by their dog's tags. My prayers for all of you.

[Iowa Granny]

What a horrible sight! Prayers for all who are experiencing this horror.

[lodwick]

Man oh man - that is so sad.

Good on the Idude - there is something "not quite right" with the Smart family and their story.

Cheers up there.

[lodwick]

A buger might just hit the spot, DS!

Cheers.

Happy Birthday.

If you look at the 'Moonscape' photo, there is a deer in the middle of all that mess. Those poor animals.

[lodwick]

Thanks for the wishes. ;-)

I'm glad I did not study your friend's pics.

Mornin' L! Hope your birthday is out of this world!

[daisyscarlett]

Awesome photos, HLL. Thanks for sharing.

Things look a bit better today. The Cedar Fire is now 100% contained...that is the one near us. AND IT IS STARTING TO RAIN IN SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTY. Jerry Rivers is in town...was in Julian where it was treacherous. I suppose Hillary will show up soon to check our Air Quality, claim it to be unhealthy, and blame it on W!!!

Lots of displaced animals, both wild and domestic. A friend has one horse on her property and volunteered to board some horses for evacuees and before she knew it, had 19 horses and said, stop, I can't take care of any more. In a couple of hours, she had to be evacuated and all of the horses had to be reboarded. So owners are having to play detective in many cases like this to find their horses, many of whom are at the DelMar Racetrack.

Almost 2000 homes lost and the death toll will go up...Just devastating.

You will share your birthday with Paul McCartney's newest heir...a girl born today, named Beatrice Milly....link

Thanks Mae - so far, so adequate.

Mrs.L's is in exactly two weeks, so next weekend, we'll do the huge family dinner thingie and whack two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Cheers out there.
