Greetings from My Desk at the Mouth of Hell TM. Today's tasty tidbits hot off the grill? Irony is not dead, but it is gravely wounded: Most secretive president in history demands more open government.

Freddie's dead (and cold) but his wife is a live one. Has the alpha male turned into a mutt? So much depends upon a red truck and it looks like Fred Thompson turned right and crashed in a ditch.

Reading is fundamental. Or fun. Or just mental.

O Bomb. Or Obamarama?

It isn't easy being green.

Why can't we all just get along? With numbers like these, will Bush get along down the highway to hell?

(Nicole: We also want to send congratulations and blessings to our favorite crank caller, Mike from Calling All Wingnuts and his wife, who welcomed a new baby boy on 7/7/07.)
