Crap. Monday afternoon, and nothing but the same political stories. Oh, well. I've been taking this blog too seriously lately anyway. I was actually going to post some pictures of my cats, but one of them was under the bed and I couldn't get a good shot.
Aaaaaanyway...I just got one of those stupid "Nigerian petroleum" e-mails, and instead of reporting it or deleting it, I decided to make a mad lib out of it.
