I’ve had this kind of holiday for awhile. I need a beach.

SQ and I have been as busy as bees. I don’t know how busy bees are but I’m thinking populating the world and all, they are pretty damned busy.

I’m working on a few new projects that I’m pretty excited about. There are issues. There is always some insanity and I’m trying to learn that when there isn’t drama not to create it in my cranium. I do that sometimes.

So here are a few things for us to look at today.

MissyB points us to a story about Alabama’s Attorney General Troy King. This is the guy that wanted to outlaw Sex Toys in that state. There hasn’t been any confirmation of it all but you need to head to her house to check it out.

Frank talks about running of the IPhones. Of course, we don’t have access for it up here in Hoots. Do I want one? Sure. Can I afford one? No. Do we have AT&T? Umm, no.

Brett Favre is being a douchenozzle. If he didn’t want to quit, he shouldn’t have quit. SQ hasn’t liked him since he laid down for a sack from Michael Strahan. Seriously, don’t mention it to her.

Finally, Shark Week is coming! Shark Week is coming! It takes very little to please me.

I’m a pop culture ho. I know.

My mother died when she was 54 after a 14-month bout with cancer.

Tony Snow died today at 53 from cancer this morning. I didn’t like his politics much, but I do feel very bad for his family. Been there, done that and it’s hard. It’s an incredibly difficult and trying thing to go through.

I have to agree with Progressive Nashville and Aunt B. about Tennessee GOP head Robin Smith.

You can read the letters she sent to Bredesen and Post Politics here.

If you aren’t familiar with what’s going on, Kleinheider breaks it down:

Patricia Ann Pierce of Harriman, director of the Opportunity Development Center at Vanderbilt University, was appointed today by Governor Phil Bredesen to serve on Tennessee’s Human Rights Commision. Pierce fills the expired term of Tennessee Republican Party Chair Robin Smith who was appointed to the Commission by Gov. Don Sundquist in 2002.

Smith’s position on the board had come under fire recently due to her actions as party chair. Under her watch, at least two communications were released out of her shop at the TNGOP which made national news for their incendiary nature.

We wish Patricia Ann Pierce well in her new appointment.

America, if you have to hide what you’re doing and lie about it to that many people, then what you’re doing is wrong.)

Go to Aunt B’s right now to see what she’s talking about.

If I lived in Oakview, CA, I would have offered my services to back in time.

I must be a very sick person. I’ve been sitting here for the last hour after sending Homer and the crew off on their vacation. They are headed to the mountains and I got to steamroll the nieces awake which delighted me to no end. Steamrolling family members out of a deep slumber is great and joyful fun. Especially when they start screaming. (It was a good kind of scream so calm down.)

Yeah, good times.

So I’ve been looking around the tubes and found Michael Ian Black’s blog which has made me laugh for the better part of the last 30 minutes.

He’s fun and a bit twisted. I like that. This post about Michael Showalter’s cat made me laugh.

We are hard at work on a hush-hush television project for one of the only two networks that will employ me: Comedy Central. At the moment he is at the veterinarian because one of his cats has the dropsies. Actually, I’m not sure what the problem is with his cat, but I’m hoping they put the thing to sleep because when I was eating lunch earlier today, it stuck its big cat snout in my cream soda, rendering it undrinkable. Many people would say that just because a cat sniffed my soda pop is no reason to wish for its death, but many people aren’t me. I’m me, and I want it dead. I freely admit that my anger may be misdirected at the cat, when the person I am really angry at is me due to some unresolved emotional issues, but as I think about it, I think it really is directed at the cat.

He also is feuding with David Sedaris about book sales and has made him a supervillan.

He’s also June’s slut of the month courtesy of D-Listed. That’s how I found the blog.

Steamrolling and cat death threats and it’s not even 7 a.m.

I live a sparkling good life.
