Why Egypt? I understand why a fundamentalist Muslim group would want to attack the UK or Spain or America, or even Bali, but why Egypt? I’m sure there’s an explanation, but I can’t think of it off the top of my head.
At any rate, bombings suck.
Friday C-Span Surfing
We had the kittens out for a play session and I flipped on C-Span for some background noise. Sen Coburn was holding committee hearings on renovating the UN Building. And what do I see but His Hairpiece, Donald Trump, sitting there in the first row.
I’m assuming he’s there to testify but didn’t stick around long enough to find out. It did get me thinking though… the new UN building, brought to you by Donald Trump? It could happen…
Meet The Fosters, part III
OK, these boys wriggle like a bunch of wiggle worms whenever I go near them with a camera, so it’s been hard to get some decent photos, but these should do. The SPCA named them Edger, Allan, and Renford, but I decided there’s no way in hell I’m calling the third one anything other than Poe. How could you not?
Anyway, they’re darlings; social, playful, and very high energy. There’s an 8-ounce weight range between the smallest and the biggest, so at least one will go back to the SPCA for adoption before the others, but we’ll see how it goes.
Here’s Edgar and Poe. Edgar is the black one:
And here’s Allan! He’s the runt of the litter and Scott’s favorite:
Kittens!
It’s very hard to get photos — these three will NOT sit still.
Never mind the Supreme Court – We Got Kittens!
Picked up three new foster kittens from the SPCA today. All boys — two orange tabbies, one all black. They’re littermates, six weeks old, and full of play!
They’re settling in now. I should have some pix to post tomorrow.
This is Cool!
I love the Smithsonian. Look what they just came out with:
Eighty years after the Scopes Monkey Trial, a trove of about 60 unpublished photos from the landmark case has been found in
Smithsonian Institution archives, including a shot of Clarence Darrow’s courtroom sparring with William Jennings Bryan.[snip]
Among them is one of Darrow, the most famous defense attorney of his day, interrogating Bryan, the orator and presidential candidate prosecuting the case. The trial had been moved outdoors because of the heat. Bryan fell ill and died five days after the trial ended.
Here’s a link to the Darrow/Bryan shot in question. It’s grainy but still impressive.
