I’ve returned, but have a lot of life-reorganizing program activities to conduct today. Talk amongst yourselves.
I’ll try to check in tomorrow. Either about Fred Thompson’s withdrawal or the Oscar nominations. For now I’ll go on record that I don’t think their near-simultaneous announcement was a coincidence.

1Good luck with the life stuff, Adam.
Question: How does one withdraw from that which one never really entered? I certainly didn’t detect any penetration on the part of Fred Thompson. I mean there was intercourse of the verbal variety and all (I avoided the more correct oral on purpose), but actual contact and entry? Did he ever even wake up?

3Fred’s dropping out of the race so he devote more time to Jeri and the twins.

4dee, you didn’t get the full-length story! Jeri is a Mer-Maid!
Who wouldn’t want to spend more time with that tail?

8This collection of Get Your War On is priceless. Muchas gracias, gillian.
Ann, if those hooters are keeping Fred off the streets and out of politics, they deserve a Congressional Medal of Honor.

9Thank you Gillian, for keeping us up to date on GYWO. I feel a little less like the Lone Ranger when I find out that someone else sees things even more ridiculous than I see.

11I won’t need a SOTU Drinking Game this year. As is my wont for the last few Januarys, I won’t watch it. It’s better for my overall health.
But this year, as I find some alternative (and Trevor Howard and Deborah Kerr in “I See A Dark Stranger” on TCM looks delicious! Synopsis: An Irish woman who hates the English turns Nazi spy. )
I will relax with a nice glass of something, knowing this is the LAST TIME Li’l Boots will give a State of the Union Address.
