Did She or Didn't She?
The funny thing is that this cartoon ran in the paper on Tuesday, and it wasn't until today that we learned that there's no marriage license to go with Britney and Whathisname's wedding.

Hmmm.... Guess Dan Rather isn't that big a dope after all!

Risen from the Dead
You remember those Friday the 13th movies? They had this guy Jason, who, no matter how many times was killed off, kept coming back.

Well, that's what our old friend Hurricane Ivan is like. He came ashore last Wednesday night in Alabama, came up the east coast, dumped ridiculous amounts of rain over a dozen states, caused a near-record outbreak of tornados in Virginia, and then went out to sea to die in the chilly waters of the north Atlantic.

Downtown Warrenton last Friday, about 2-3 miles from where I live.

Only he didn't.

It seems Ivan looped back down south, crossed over Florida as a rainstorm, and re-formed in warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Meteorologists say that while this is certainly unusual, it's not entirely unheard of. And while the storm's winds are a mere fraction of what it was packing last week, it is expected to be a heavy rain producer for Texas and Louisiana.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Bush administration declined to speculate on who was responsible for this colossal intelligence failure.
