Perry

“I will work every day to make Washington, DC as inconsquential in your life as I can.... America is not broken. Washington D.C. is broken.”

-- Rick Perry

This is what Republicans would call Reaganesque, and it would be sighed in admiration. These are the musical notes of the siren song that can cast Americans adrift in dreams of an imagined nineteenth-century golden age of rugged individualism.

John Podhoretz mocks:

Most people outside Texas know very little about Perry, but given his standing as a kind of amalgam of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, he may soon occupy an unprecedented position in the imagination of liberals and the Left—perhaps the most frightening specter of anti-liberalism since Ronald Reagan precisely because he is electable. The conservative boogeyman is back.

I am afaid he may be right about that. He is a Sarah Palin with enough veneer of credibility to carry it off. Our best hope may be that Americans don't want another Texas yahoo so soon after Dubya, but I don't feel especially confident about that.

Wash Tub

Strange name on the ID Caller: Wash Tub.

The imagination runs. Could Pop be getting a bath tub for Lorie??

That's one of the things that I would really love to have. First, a new mattress for the one that I have had for some fifteen years, and then a new toilet that actually works every time when you flush it, and then a bath tub, not a shower but a bath tub.

I love the idea of just soaking in a nice bubble bath. I imagine that it would be the first time that I feel truly and deeply clean in a looong time, that showers really don't do it for you.

But I guess beggars must make do, especially if you are not a desired woman.

Yvonne Strahovski

Awww! She seems to need some consolation, and I happen to have a shoulder available.

I probably never would have noticed this darling if it were not for Susanna, and although Yvonne does not have that Hollywood, rock star glamour that captures my fanboy imagination, she grows on you.

Apparently, her show is successful: "Chuck". These pics are behind-the-scene pics from season five. This wasn't just a one-season fling, as was the sad case with my favorite sci-fi series, "Black Scorpion". I have tried to catch an episode but have yet been unable to find it on the TV schedule.
