Happy Halloween!

the lion says RAWRRRRRRR


Lazarus had a good time running around town with Papa this evening, and everyone admired him in his lion costume that my mom scored for him during our visit. I don't see any reason for him not to wear it for the rest of the winter....

The babes and I had a great visit to Philly, but I must admit I'm loving the sunshine back here at home -- and so is Maggie:

It's obvious

Kerry versus Bush: this news report makes the choice obvious. I mean, a man from #1 versus #33 -- come on, that's not even close. It's like the difference between a college graduate and a fifth-grader running a large, complex organization operating in many different markets. Or the difference between an intelligent, well-read, coherent speaker and a barely literate dumbass running a large, powerful nation meddling with many other nations' affairs.

Then again, no one should be electing me (living in #50) president any time soon, either.

Meme: Google Images, part 1

This made the LiveJournal rounds (where I *really* rant) a while back, and I've finally gotten around to it. The meme: type your name (first, last, middle, all, whatever) into Google and see what images it pulls up (on the Google results page, go to the "Images" tab).

First, Magdalene -- my original, and some lovely samples from around the Web:

If they could just stay little...

Okay, I'll be the republican guy -- hey, no smiling at the camera, I'm the one talking here -


blah blah blah -


yeah, well, I think your politics are all upside-down -


We had so much fun. I had to curb my tongue when yelling at the radio, though, with two little mimics hanging around.

One thing Lazarus has picked up, somehow: whenever he hears W's voice or sees him on TV, he yells "BAD MAN!" Good boy.
