Or something like that.

Fox News anchor / White House spokesman (as if there’s any real difference) Tony Snow said yesterday that the president was "certainly" aware of the deplorable conditions for returning vets at Walter Reed.

Today, Snow claimed that Bush had no idea what was going on.

Asked directly if Bush would personally discuss the issue of how returning veterans are treated, Snow’s reply was simple:

Via ThinkProgress.org.

This US Congressman from Georgia believes that evolution is the work of "the Pharisee Religion," "derived concept-for-concept from Rabbinic writings in the mystic ‘holy book’ Kabbala."

Oy.

And if that’s not enough, the head of the Texas state House Appropriations Committee still doesn’t believe that the Earth revolves around the sun.

Sadly, both are staunch Republicans.

Today’s GOP: boldly leading America into the 16th century.

"Right now" being Sunday evening, about 5:30 Los Angeles time.

Just got a call from a friend watching TV. GSN, the former Game Show Network, is airing a special called "The Insider’s Guide to Winning Game Show Millions." Which is something I’ve never done. But I chatted with some producers for about 20 minutes last summer. After a few bits aired in December, I figured that was it. Guess not.

Flipped it on… and hey, I’m getting my butt kicked again on national TV. Excellent. They just replayed my last final flame-out on Jeopardy!. Again. Man, that was not my best moment.

Please excuse me now while I shave my head and go into rehab.

PS — according to GSN’s schedule, the show will be repeated tonight, Sunday, at 11 pm EST, and Tuesday at 9 pm EST. So there, if you’re curious.

PS — A correction: the graphic under my name is incorrect. They asked for my total quiz winnings, and now they’re using that as my Jeopardy! total. I doubt anyone cares, but my Jeopardy! haul is only about a third of the total. Maybe using the bigger number made it look like I had any business on a special with that title.

PPS — another correction: I said something like "one third of the clues I answered came from Chuck Forrest’s book." As I wrote in Trebekistan, about a third of all the clues I answered correctly came from studying, and the main thing I studied early on was Chuck’s book. But that’s not the same thing. I compressed the two in the interview, which was verbally sloppy.

I’ve recently learned that "Pu Du" is also the name given to serene music often played by practitioners of Falun Gong.  The title translates as "saving people," which I think wild pudus would be OK with.

Since small bands of Chinese musicians are cute, but not that cute, here’s a pudu from previous weeks, whom you can picture humming a happy, aimless little tune.

Humming serenely is something pudus do a lot anyway, when they’re whistling, scat-singing, or occasionally breaking out into the occasional tap dance.
