Me and my puppy dog just woke up from a 3 hour nap. Just so peaceful. :-)

Hey Republicans: way to put "country first" and bring the country to the edge of default. Really nice.

I just had a 10 shouting contest w/ my 4 year old neighbor about who was the biggest goofball (or ducy-ubble) as he pronounced it. ;-)
