Laura W., thread moderator, has informed me that we need one.
TGIF
I have been informed there have not been enough pet pictures this week, and it is true. I have been preoccupied with other stuff. Here are a few for you:
Not sure what I am going to do this weekend.
*** Update ***
BTW- the PJ adds come down next Wednesday, and google adsense is killing me. It refuses to accept my existing google account info when I try to fill out the damned form. Going through this and trying to figure out blogads again reminds me of why I liked PJ ads in the first place.
Also, the easiest way to support this website is if you use Amazon, to click through before you shop.
Red State and Blue Dogs
This just came in from the Red State Strike Force email list.
Dear XXXX:
We need to get the Blue Dog Democrats to slow down budget approval in the House of Representatives. The vote in committee is tonight.
STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
PICK UP THE PHONE.
CALL 202-224-3121.
Ask for Rep. John Yarmuth’s Office.
Please ask Congressman John Yarmuth to vote no on the budget tonight. We can stop the budget if you will pick up your phone right now. The vote is tonight.
Sincerely yours,
Erick Erickson
Editor, RedState.com
Update: I seem to have gotten an email about Yarmuth because one of my Red State Strike Force personae lives in Louisville.

Picked up Quantum of Solace, which I did not catch when it was out, and watched the first ten minutes during an early dinner, and I can say that he is in my opinion the best Bond ever. I really hope they make a bunch more Bond flicks with him.
In other movie news, has anyone seen The Foot Fist Way? I sort of have been sucked into Eastbound and Down, which is just a train wreck in so many ways, and am curious what you all think of this other Danny McBride work.
Finally, it has been a while, so here is a picture of freshly furminated Tunch:
He loves being furminated so much that he doesn’t even mind when I yank him off the window sill where he is sunning himself, just so long as the brushing starts soon.
Quote of the Day
This is the best description of Big Hollywood I have seen:
“But for all the bluster of all-caps headlines like “GLOBAL WARMING PROPAGANDA SINKS ‘UNDER THE SEA 3D,’ ” it’s a far less courageous site than the comparably nonconfrontational Culture11; beneath the patina of combativeness, it’s really just a support group for 24 fans.What Big Hollywood does isn’t criticism, or reporting—it’s ideological accounting.
So true. Not to step on Tbogg’s toes.
