TODAY'S LOVE NOTE
(Introduction)
[Something a little different today. Besides being the first big-time blogger to put me on his blogroll, Reid of Photodude is also a fantastically talented photographer, and this shot just stunned me]
Prettiest. Rose. Ever.
That's you, Beloved Wife
But this one is a close second :-)

What the hell is that thing? A
cat? A devil? Whatever it is, the important thing to learn is that you
should NEVER buy your Halloween costume in Streator, Illinois.

I'M NOT A CONSERVATIVE, BUT I PLAY ONE IN YOUR COMMENTS
Via Carnival of the Vanities #74, which Four Right Wing Wackos serves up in the most compact iteration ever, I found an intriguing post by Sir Francis Drake of Drake's Drum.
I've listened to Rush Limbaugh on & off for years, (mostly
depending on whether I'm in my car while he's on), and I've heard him
mention what he refers to as "seminar callers" on several occasions.
These are liberals who have, figuratively, taken the "how to make it
past the conservative talk show host's call-screener" seminar. Once
they get put on the air, they claim to be former conservatives who now
see the liberal light on the topic du jour.
According to Drake, these types of folks are, of late, showing up in
comments on conservative blogs, pretending to be disaffected
Republicans. However:
these comments are blatantly phoney to anyone who actually is a conservative:
A lot of email seems to be
appearing lately claiming something like, they are a "Life Long
Republican," and usually then goes on to note they are a big a big
admirer or Rush Limbaugh or they voted for Bush.
They remind me not of comments
from truly irritated conservatives but instead of Nigerian spam mail or
fake virus warnings. OK, so they aren't written in block capitals, but
you have the same near miss on the language. Just as the well
established e-mail hoaxes are almost but not quite grammatical, so
these are almost but not quite authentic - "a big admirer of Rush
Limbaugh"
For fun, Drake suggests making up some "near miss" comments from these fake jakes. His offering:
"I'm a big supporter of the 2nd Amendment, and even want to own Assault Weapons and all"
I think I'll try one:
"I really enjoyed reading the 10 Commandments, and God is one of my favorite authors, but..."
Your turn.

EVIL GLENN'S CHILDREN'S STORIES
(A FILTHY LIE)
While shopping for the Stephen King's latest installment in the Dark
Tower series at Amazon.com (I REALLY hope he finishes the whole thing
before he gets hit by another van), I came across a book entitled "Evil
Mother Glenn's Nursery Rhymes". Curious, I used the "search inside"
feature to find out what our vile nemesis has been scribbling. Here's a
sample of what I found:
Reynolds had a little lamb
Its fleece was black as night
Killing hobos with its fangs...
Uh, something here's not right.
Mary, Mary quite contrary
How does your garden grow
With hobo bods
Beneath the sod
Cuz I'm Glenn's bitch, you know.
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such sport
And was promptly blended for his insolence.
Old Glenn Cole was an evil old soul
and a viscious puppy blender was he
Did a quick robot dance
Put a penguin in his pants
And girly-punched Frank J with glee
Old Glenn Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get a glass of warm puppy goo
But when he got there
The cupboard was bare
So he murdered a hobo in lieu
Little Glenn Horner
Sat in a corner
Eating his puppy pie
He stuck in his thumb
It wasn't a plumb
He'd skewered the poor doggy's eye!
Peter, Peter, puppy eater
Mixed his dog shakes with a beater
"Glenn may like to use a blender,
But my way makes them much more tender"
Baa baa Instapundit have you any pups?
Yes sir, yes sir, three big cups.
One is for breakfast, one is for lunch
One is for the afterglow when Frank J. I punch.
Glenn Reynolds is a sick, sick man.
INSTAPUNDO DELENDA EST!

RETURN OF THE BEAR
After taking almost 2 weeks off, N.Z. Bear of The Truth Laid Bear,
beloved keeper of the Ecosystem, and long-suffering impartial moderator
of the Great Blog War, has returned.
Some changes:
After thinking things over, he'd like to do more actual blogging and
less wrestling with annoying scripts. To that end, the New Blog
Showcase is on indefinite hiatus.
The TTLB site has dropped from Higher Being to Playful Primate. Why?
Because the Bear fixed the script so it only counts links to his front
page. Links to the Ecosystem don't count for him any more. I'm
adjusting my blogroll accordingly.
Welcome back, Bear.
