McCain-Palin ralliers attacked in Manhattan

October 14, 2008

Video has gone viral around the Web of a September 21 McCain-Palin rally on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and Gateway Pundit has posted it.  The reaction from the local wildlife was predictable, though no less cringeworthy for it.

October 8, 2008

Birthdayblogging!  It’s the anniversary of the night when alien visitors deposited a shutterbug blogger (no, not me; different aliens) on Area 51 of WordPress.  The mind behind Life On The Edges turns an indeterminate number of minutes young today; here’s something straight from Sanibel for her to send back to the mother ship:

Here’s hoping her chauffeurs are the friendly type.  Happy Birthday, luv!
