My First Political Entry...

Without trying to get too one-sided, here are some great rejected John McCain phone scripts. For example:

"Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama won't stop repeating those stupid Chuck Norris facts. For example, before the third debate, Barack opened a bag of Lay's potato chips. My friends, I knew what was coming. I've been tested. It was either a Chuck Norris joke or a Seinfeld double dip. John McCain gets it. Chuck Norris can only eat one. But don't be fooled. Barack Obama was just pandering to the Florida vote. But you need to know that Barack Obama was for the cancellation of Walker, Texas Ranger before he was against it. And he also hates Everybody Loves Raymond. That's not reaching across the aisle. That's changing the channel on small-town American values. Not on John McCain's dial."

I love photography. I love nature. I love The Big Picture from the Boston globe. When the three of those things collide, you get some absolutely amazing pictures of wildlife. Check out World Animal Day at The Big Picture.

Molly has to be just about the cutest dog ever. Every time I try to get a picture of her and Charlie she wants to come sniff the camera, but every once in a while I can catch a cute face without her realizing.

Say hello to Molly!

This is Molly, our new seven-week-old Beagle. She was living with a coworker's grandmother, but she proved to be too much to handle.

We introduced her to Charlie, and she seemed scared... for about 3 minutes. Pretty soon, they were running around in the backyard like they'd known each other for years. It's funny to be thinking of Charlie as the mature and well-behaved one!

Her hobbies include chewing lots of things, peeing on the rug, and being completely adorable. Check out the Flickr set to see more of the cuteness.
