This might be the greatest photo I've ever seen. Or maybe this one. Some photos to cherish:
1. Massholes in the dumps.
2. Shock and awe.
3. Lonely teardrops.
4. Those who don't know their history . . .
5. This one's a pissah.
6. It's back to the sorority house for us.
7. Silver lining: comfort sex.
8. The least successful business in America.
9. It's back to the bullpen for you.
10. God's not listening.

Ben Affleck: Red Sox fan, bad actor, Bush-basher. How am I supposed to decide whether or not to like this guy?
Less than a week after Daisy died, we got a new rabbit. But we ain't got a name.
I'm looking for name suggestions for a little brown furball with floppy ears who likes to leap across rooms in a single bound.
So far, we like:
Boo
Scout
Lady Poopsalot
Harriet
Please help.

How did I miss this?
Mrs. Ehrlich: I Really Regret Making Britney Statement
Md. First Lady: She Would 'Shoot Britney Spears'
. . . In remarks taped by WFMD Radio, the first lady said, "If I had an opportunity to shoot Britney Spears, I think I would."
On Wednesday, Mrs. Ehrlich (pictured, left) apologized and explained what she meant at a charity golf tournament in Queenstown, Md.
"I really regret making the statement. It was off-handed, it was in jest and it was inappropriate and I know better," Mrs. Ehrlich said. . . .
Don't worry, Mrs. Ehrlich. You're only repeating what every alienated junior high school kid has said for the last five years.

First, there's the HBO documentary about the heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and his loaded friends. Then, there's this new MTV show about Tommy Hilfiger's kid and her rich friend. And Fox has a reality show about Paris Hilton and Lionel Richie's daughter.
The one thing they all have in common -- besides the money -- is that they're making fun of their subjects. I can think of a few unemployed friends who'd dig that.

Couple great features in the big boy newspapers this weekend:
NYT/Frontline investigation of the Lackawanna, NY "sleeper cell."
WP feature on Aung San Suu Kyi.

"Now turn your sign to the left . . ."
Police in Kansas City, arresting a local writer at a protest outside a Laura Bush appearance, take mug shots of both the man and his sign.
His essay is here.
" . . . I was fingerprinted and my mug shot was taken, but then something very strange occurred. The sign I brought with me to the protest was given a mug shot as well . . . My sign read, 'What is Bush hiding about 9-11? Stop the 9-11 cover-up!' . . . I'd understand my mugshot being in a KC police file for a 'Disorderly Conduct' charge. But who is the other information for? . . . "
Thanks, Don!

The trailer for Mel Gibson's The Passion is available here. (Has it been out for a while?) For a few minutes after watching it, I felt like starting a pogrom. But then I went to sleep.
