It's Friday, and I have no doggies to share... The camera is temporarily out of our possession. This is unfortunate, because Thumbelina and Ms. Patches are now officially part of the smijer family. Did I mention that Ms. Patches is also polydactyl? The sad news is that Butterball and Phantom have disappeared. We fear the worse, which is why we decided to bring the others inside before they disappeared, too.

• The news media is reporting a win for McCain's anti-torture bill. This is great news. But every silver lining comes with a cloud, and the UUSC may have discovered the cloud that attends on this one.
• Keith Olbermann is stealing our Schtick... That's right, Olbermann named Neal Boortz "Worser": "He's also a racist? OK". An amusing side note from the Media Matters page:

  During the segment, Olbermann showed a photo of a man incorrectly identified as Boortz; in fact, the picture is of former Sen. Max Cleland (D-GA).

• John Dingell is a Poet! I swear, the way the media, the Congress, and "some evangelical groups" have latched on to the Bill O'Reilly faux crusade... it's damn depressing. It's nice to see that some of us recognize it for the joke that it is... It's scary to think that Crazy Bill O'Reilly is taken so seriously by the rest.
• Paranoid?... Lord, I hope so.

Have a great Friday, and don't forget that there are Critters out there (and a Frapper Map for catbloggers!)
