Today’s political news is so boring that I think I need a nap. Meanwhile, Muppets in the News:
Quincy Bertram Huffington and Ernesto Beltrinez, stars of the hit television show “Sesame Street,” will address the Class of 2007 [Washington University in St. Louis] at their commencement on May 18, 2007.
Better known as Bert and Ernie, the duo will be making their first public appearance after their tell-all book “Sesame Seedy: Sex, Drugs, and PBS” hits bookshelves. According to their publisher, Bert and Ernie reveal that they are homosexuals in “Sesame Seedy,” and bring to light the disturbing details behind the children’s show.
“We took Muppets that we thought would be well-noted figures, who would have a sense of current issues facing graduates, Muppets [who] would be well-known and Muppets with great accomplishments in the field that they work with,” said Chancellor Mark Wrighton.

this little nugget…Bush also used his recess appointment authority to make Andrew Biggs deputy director of Social Security. The president’s earlier nomination of Biggs, an outspoken advocate of partially privatizing the government’s retirement program, was rejected by Senate Democrats in February.
ah well…off to crawford to clear some brush….bah!

hand kerry a lousiville slugger and point him in the direction of the oval office.
Actually, there is one bit of definitely non-boring political news today–the Syrians have claimed that they brokered the release of the British sailors from Iran, and apparently Nancy Pelosi gets credit for that. Even Drudge has a link up giving kudos to Pelosi. That’s a nice stick in the eye to Bush and Rice.
Sad Kermit.

Here’s another unexpected cover of Nine Inch Nails:
who is “the most foolish american?”…hmmmmm…look at those numbers…heh
wonder how they spun that?…the answer’s here.
now, that is journalmalism.
well, it still is an open thread right/ So, how about pondering this! Is anyone interested in questioning the veracity (that is truth!) of that stallwart – good old Orin!!
Now right on the russert time waster good old orin decided to add to his reputation for not telling the truth. According to the fucking liar, USA C Lam never prosecuted anything, was the southern Ca. election comittee for President Clinton — and more. (Link to more on Atrios)
Not a goddamn peep from the Dems! Not a Fucking PEEP!
I guess it is not worth their time and/or effort. It just keep rolling on and on. Where the hell are our troops?
