There are other places to eat on the road than McDonald's. There aren't necessarily GOOD other places to eat; but I've always been able to find a Burger King or (in desperation) a Denny's. I literally have not eaten food from a McDonald's for at least 15 years. And now you know why... Sister Susie is wrong. There are other places to eat on the road than McDonald’s.

Cheney is just full of any number of things. What a guy. Thanks for the TT link, gillian. Hope the out of town part was a fun-filled trip.

He had been traveling all weekend and then, soon after our meeting, he hopped on another plane for that vacation mecca, Baghdad, Eye Rack. I guess he got the short straw, but it couldn't have happened to a more deserving individual. Lynne, his wife, came in during the meeting and brought him some medicine to take. I figured it was for his heart, but as she was leaving the room, she called back to Dick to make sure he takes that medicine while he's gone, because he knows how traveling locks his bowels up tight as a drum. I'm not sure I really wanted to know that, but it was fun watching him turn bright red and squirm in his seat for a few (silent, but for the repressed snickering) moments. Early to bed tonight, Diary. Apparently I have number of Regent "University" graduates to smoke out in the staff meeting tomorrow morning. Rumor has it that they are like cockroaches, spread throughout the government. They're even in Interior. I was in the cafeteria yesterday and I heard what sounded like a prayer meeting going on behind a partitioned seating area. It started out with one male voice groaning, others joined in with moaning sounds and talking in tongues. It rose to a crescendo with dozens of voices joining in and then it quit. Silence. And then the men began to file out from behind the partitions, emptying their lunch trays and walking out like nothing had happened. I swear it sounded like very good group sex. A number of law-abiding citizens around me blythly violated Executive Order 13058 by frantically lighting up cigarettes, right there in the cafeteria. I had a strong desire to do the same, but I am in an Executive position and must set a good example. Dammit. Dirk 5-09-07

I've been out of town, so I wasn't able to submit this cartoon until now. And yes, I know the internets is everywhere now, but the operating system on my laptop is Windows 95, which makes surfing the net a grand waste of time. For real. Anyway, <a href="http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=22314" title="enjoy" rel="nofollow">enjoy</a>. Hi, guys. I’ve been out of town, so I wasn’t able to submit this cartoon until now.
