Because they have a fabulous mix of the patently obvious, the entirely justified, and the completely and utterly ridiculous. It’s a perfect reflection of this hilariously stupid town.

You know it’s toasty when you go to pet your black and white cat, who has been sitting in the sun, and almost burn your hand because the black part of his fur is so hot. It hurt me, but damn, poor kitty. I’ll have to draw the shades a bit more tomorrow…

Dave has been redesigning his site, and has concurrently been revising his descriptions of the blogs he links to. Here’s his new description of mine: Yeah, I’d say that’s about right. Now more than ever, really.
