Overheard on the Run
Last night, I was out for an evening run. Â I usually run in the mornings, or if not then, in the afternoons before supper. Â However, I hadn’t gotten to it yet, and I needed to run, so I did it. Â I was struggling – but I was making it. Â I ran past these two kids playing around a stop sign, and as I passed, I heard one of the kids say…
Wow, look at him go!
I started to feel better… Â until the reply came from the other kid…
Well, he’s not going that fast.
I know I’m not the fastest runner – I’m not even in the top 70%. Â But… Â darn it, the kid could have waited until I was out of earshot. Â
Plagiarism Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery II
Another busy time, another installment of “Plagiarism Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery”. Â See, when we re-blog here, we’re honest and up-front. Â
First up is an article about the cost of illegal immigration for Los Angeles County for one month, from radio talk show host and author Neal Boortz. Â The numbers are staggering.
Next up, a link to a pundit I never thought I’d link to, except as a set up to refute. Â However, Susan Estrich and I agree on this issue, which she details in “A Weak Moment for Women in Banning Larry Summers“. Â (I don’t agree that what he originally said was wrong – but the rest of it is spot-on.)
Via Morgan Freeberg, we have reports that “A Quiet Triumph May Be Brewing“. Â Could it be that we’ve come up with a way to get most remaining al-Qaeda in the same place, then send them to their 72 virgins (or raisins, depending on the translation)?
And finally, we wrap up with some humor. Â Rachel Lucas learned to make thought and speech bubbles in PhotoShop, and produced a masterpiece she calls “Three Men and a Hillary“. Â (Language warning in effect for the comments on that post…)
