ok, some more in the world of politics.
1-ted stevens, antiquated criminal senator from alaska, was finally defeated.
he was narrowly defeated in alaska. which kind of begs the question: who votes
for a convicted felon for senate?
2-yesterday was joe biden’s birthday, which gave rise to my favorite headline of
the year:
Obama Surprises Biden With Cupcakes
3-well, i guess that’s it for the entertaining world of politics today. i mean, sure, there are lots of other things going on, from wars to cabinet appointments, but why not just enjoy ‘obama surprises biden with cupcakes’ for a minute? and it’s nice to know that the ‘cupcakes’ referred to in the headline were in fact cupcakes, and not the stage name of a stripper in reno. not that i have anything against strippers in reno. and not that i have anything against strippers in reno named ‘cupcakes’.
i’m just glad that we’ve dodged a cupcake related scandal involving a stripper in reno. i wonder if people in reno send emails that say ‘re: no’ when they’re responding in the negative. it’s probably happened once or twice.
speaking of word nerds, did you see the simpsons the other night where lisa was at a crosswords competition and they had a montage of her doing crosswords to cameo’s mid 80’s hit ‘word up’? it was, to use an overused word, genius. and they had cameo’s (ha, no pun intended. wait, is that even a pun?) from 2 of the luminaries who put together the ny times crossword puzzle. word nerds across the country rejoiced.
this has been a very long ‘#3’, especially as it was supposed to be about politics and it ended up being about strippers in reno and mid 80’s r&b and animated crossword puzzle competitions.
ok, that’s all for now. i hope you’ve enjoyed puppycam. or, rather, i hope you’re enjoying puppycam. more salient and weighty journal entries to come. maybe next time i’ll revisit the marvelous world of toast.
