Still working on the book.

So you’ll just have to say "awwww" at this picture again.

Hoping to get down to Chile and Argentina this winter and stalk the wild pudu myself.

With a bottle of milk in my hand.

And perhaps a magnifying glass, from the looks of it.

This looks a lot more a Third World dictatorship.

Bizarre, how so many people define patriotism as the crushing of dissent.

Thanks to reader Devin for the tip.  (And apologies to about 30 people I owe emails to.)

Examined in retrospect by Scott Bateman:

MSNBC spokesmodel Norah O’Donnell displays her understanding of America.

My god, we’ve been completely overrun!

Flipping through channels, I accidentally just stumbled across what DirecTV modestly calls their "News Mix" channel.

Agh!  Someone stop the flashing lights!

Seven different video feeds — Fox News, CNN, Headline News, CNBC, MSNBC, etc. — all crammed into one screen.  All begging for my attention at once!  I can’t even tell what’s happening, but it’s all so all urgent — everything, everywhere, is happening now! — and I need to know!  Now!  Know now!  I need now know!  Need!  NOW!

My eyes!  Oh my God my eyes!  It burns!  It burns!

AIEEE!!!!!
