The worst fears of dittoheads were confirmed today, when Rush Limbaugh confirmed rumors that he and Bill O’Reilly have been secret lovers for several years.

Yes, that is what I am suffering from.  I have been sitting in front of my computer for too many hours yesterday and today–oh, and Monday as well.  Who would have thought that the most tired part of the body resulting from promoting a book could be the butt.  So for that reason, I must [...]

OK, I don’t see a snarky pose as appropriate for this blog.  But I am still not rid of the cold so I am picking an easy target just so I can say I posted something today.  Plus, I am still trying to get a rise out of readers (all 2 or 3 of you out there).  [...]
