The Secret Service detachment in charge of keeping Obama in one piece had a bit of a party down in Columbia (a couple days before Obama arrived) involving quite the gaggle of ladies of negotiable virtue. Personally, I don't see the problem since (unlike the GSA's Las Vegas romp) the soire wasn't funded with taxpayer money, but that's just me. Those guys are expected to take a bullet—if they want to indulge in the local culture, more power to them I say.

The pink outfit is jen-u-won pimp gear, yo.

The new "Get rich quick" scheme:

Is that a "moderate" Republican congressman.

Obviously not! Do you see any CEOs throwing $100's in picture?

From Varvel, this is one of the "fill in the blank" contests he runs. Personally, I think 2nd place should have won:

Runners up: Tom Paine, Philadelphia, PA – “Bush’s fault…click…Bush’s fault…click…Bush’s fault…”

Not sure why this one wouldn't display. Finally punted and we'll do it this way.

After a complete washout last week, Time comes roaring back.





Not a funny one, but I thought it was quite good:






And, best for last, funny on several different levels:

Can you explain what the third image is about?

The author of the children's classic, "Where the Wild Things Are", Maurice Sendak, died this past week.

Was Sendak recognized internationally?

I would assume so, but I guess I can't say for certain. The awards listed on his wiki appear primarily American, but he won the Hans Christian Anderson, which is supposed to be the "Nobel" for youth books.

Here's a funny one, sort of… :/

I've been reading "Where the wild things are" in my youth. Don't remember where the book is nowadays, but I believe that my younger sister had read it at one point, too.

And yes, it's in a way a true classic … Although I found it quite very in my youth … I have learned to appreciate it only much later … This book, although good, it imho nothing for very sensitive children … The more sensitive, the older their age should be, imho, when they get to read it …

Ah, yes I knew he died, but failed to make the link

Could have sworn I've seen this one before, but it's still good so…
