Everybody's Doing The Iranian Twist

SOMEWHERE DANCING AROUND THE TRUTH (TL) -- The rhetoric from the Republicans on Obama's handling of the situation of Iran -- he should be more forceful in defense of the people of Iran -- cracks me up. 

This is the same bunch who backed Saddam Hussein in a war against Iran and the same group that wanted to bomb the entire country not more than a few months ago. 

I think they're mad because the Iranians are killing Iranians before the Repubs get a chance.

Tall and Tan and Young and Lovely ...

SOMEWHERE DRIVING THE MYSTERY MACHINE (TL) -- Well, one mystery solved. Now we know why South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford didn't feel he needed any additional stimulus.

The King

SOMEWHERE DOING THE CANNONBALL (TL) -- Love the Dunkin' Donuts ads with Barry Switzer. Great scripts and direction on these minimalist gems.

When You're Alone, You Ain't Nothin' But Alone ...

SOMEWHERE WITH MAN'S BEST FRIEND (TL) -- I had to take my dog, Boomer, in for his annual shots today.

On the way out, a very elderly woman was standing in the lobby. She was leaning against the wall and holding a leash. She smiled and petted Boomer on the head. Boomer is two and can be rambunctious at times. But, perhaps sensing her frailty, he calmly sat and licked her hand as she petted him.

She said Boomer looked just like her dog. A point the assistant standing behind the counter echoed.

Then she turned and started out the door with the leash. She turned and said she had to put her dog down. She smiled, pet Boomer on the head again and said "good boy."

Then she left, clutching the leash. Alone.

Oklahoma Democrats

SOMEWHERE STUDYING OXYMORONS (TL) -- At first blush "Oklahoma Democrats" appears to be an oxymoron. Truth is, there are pockets of resistance in the Sooner State. A voice of the resistance is former Okla. Gov. David Walters, who is blogging on politics and energy policy -- and defending President Obama from the conservative horde -- here.
