Dog - I'm sorry, but this is funny.

[Miss Marple]

Good morning! I am sorry I disappeared yesterday. I got involved in the live thread that started with the Congressional Black Caucus, then the House vote on Speaker, then the President's speech, then the dustup in the Senate.

I also went to see my mother yesterday afternoon.

I see everyone was quite busy here yesterday. I just sent a private note to Guennie, and I hope she comes back soon.

I am most gratified that the judges, including Pickering and Owens, are being resubmitted. Yet another thing happening that the gloom and doom types told us would never happen. Ha!

I am fascinated with Frist's leadership style, which I think we will see has the Rats running in circles pretty quickly. Warms the cockles of my heart, it does! HA!

[Mr. Mulliner]

Take a look at that cartoon you posted, Chairman. Either I have lost my sense of humor or I need to start listening to NPR again to get this kind of joke.
