A Picture in Every Post II: and other slightly wacky stuff

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: Toby, the unofficial, likely to never be seen again, Right Wing mascot.

This picture was meant to be shown in our loast post, but the good network found it tacky to actually allow pictures in blogs. But from this day forward, there will be a picture in every post.

Now, the slightly wacky: I'm watching CNBC yesterday, not by choice, but because my boss had left our backroom TV on CNBC, and the reporter comes on and begins talking about the Dow Jones reaching 12000 for the first time ever. This is an all-time high, so how did the reporter choose to cover this story. By saying that the Dow reaching 12000 is a sign that stocks are finally rebounding. I was unaware that reaching your all-time high was considered a rebound.

The wacky: I heard on ESPNEWS this morning that several NFL stadiums are the likely targets of dirty bombs Sunday. Outside of the play of the particular teams in these particular stadiums, the report is pseudo-believeable. The reason I use the pseudo in this instance is the list of "targeted" stadia. New York, OK. Seattle, understandable. Miami, alright. Atlanta, iffy, but OK. Houston, well, that's a stretch. Oakland, are we sure they haven't already been hit (the Raiders are 0-the season)? Cleveland, wait a cotton-pickin' minute here. Cleveland. Cleveland? Who in their right mind would attack Cleveland? Well, apparently the FBI has stepped in and arrested a young man from Milwaukee, you know, the terrorist homeland Milwaukee? In other news, President Bush announced that the governor of Wisconsin has three days to leave office and turn over power. Let's see where this goes.

The incredibly wacky: The weather. That's right, someone forgot to inform Enlgand that the entire Eastern seaboard of the US would be borrowing their weather. That means dense fog, gloomy rain, and chilly wind. "That's like summer," commented a London man through a bite of his eel pie and jam booties. Where's someone like Carol Channing when you need them?

By the by, this happens to be the 30th ever post here at The Right Wing, a tradition we hope to continue. Assuming, of course, I have the time or Sanjay has any enthusiasm. Right now he's asleep at his desk.
