Or maybe "Laverne Loves Shirley"

Look's like the GOP attack monkeys are taking a more vicious approach to "Greatest Lottery Commissioner Ever!" Harriet's nomination. They've launched a website subtly named WithdrawMiers.org and gotten plenty of ink today explicitly saying that "Most Qualified Nominee Ever!" Harriet should be pulled before the hearings. If "Greatest Christian Ever!" Harriet were a TV show, she'd be "Joanie Loves Chachi" - over before it began, yet doomed to infamy for an eternity.

Everyone's replaying the NYTimes scoop from this morning that quotes lawyers in the Rove/Libby investigation saying Libby found out about Valerie Wilson's identity from "Big Time!" Dick Cheney weeks before the publication of the Novak column. Cheney apparently found out from "Medal of Freedom!" George Tenet. Ah, the stew is reducing after a period of simmering. Yummy.

We got a hiking backpack for Maya that I must recommend highly. She loves it, especially when she's goading me to bounce her more. Or at least that's how I interpret what she seems to be saying. If I get arrested for child endangerment, that will be my defense. Anyhoo, it's a Lafuma (big European backpack manufacturer). If you want a way to hike with your <50 pound kid, it's absolutely perfect. Great around the neighborhood, too.

I predict that if the White Sox win this world series, they will be the least appreciated champion since the Twins in '87. When the Twins won again in '91, they were an amazing story. Should've been in '87, as well. But most of America didn't seem to care and the same seems to be true this year. In this case, it's the unfortunate timing of winning the year after the Sawx. In that case, it's, well, Minnesota. Might as well be Moosejaw. Rock on.
