Disbursement Item A on page 808, Year End 2007 Norm Coleman FEC report:

“Nordstrom, 10/1/07, $73.59 for makeup.”

Update: OK folks, I just got a gentle rebuke from Bruce, who was nice enough to do his chiding in an email instead of in the comments. He took me to task for not giving a tip o the hat to this gentleman today when I posted my Norm Coleman Clown picture.

You’re right, Bruce. I should have given the estimable driftglass a h/t, so here it is along with my apology. Not that I haven’t been a drifty fan for years, as evidenced here, here, and here, to point out just a few examples. I worship him like a god: the man has formidable photoshop skills as well as the ability to produce the most exquisite rants on earth, bar none.

Earlier this week he happened to post a brilliant photoshop job based on one of the most perfect of all possible clown photos, and yeah, damn right I based my picture on that photo too. It wasn’t the first time somebody’s used that photo as a jumping off point, either. Still, my timing could have been better. The important thing to understand about this is: just as drifty did all the work on his Bill Kristol version, I did all the work on Pennywise Norm’s face. So there. Oh, and one more thing:

Love ya, drifty. *sigh* Some things never change.

The George W Bush Presidential Library is in the final planning stages. Allen L Roland via Op Ed News gives us the details about some of the library’s proposed features:

1. The Hurricane Katrina Room, which is still under construction.

2. The Alberto Gonzales Room, where you can’t remember anything.

3. The Texas Air National Guard Room, where you don’t have to even show up.

4. The Walter Reed Hospital Room, where they don’t let you in.

5. The Guantanamo Bay Room, where they don’t let you out.

6. The Weapons of Mass Destruction Room (which no one has been able to find).

7. The Iraq War Room. After you complete your first tour, they make you go back for a second, third, fourth, and sometimes fifth tour.

8. The Dick Cheney Room, in the famous undisclosed location, complete with shooting gallery.

9. Plans also include: The K-Street Project Gift Shop - where you can buy (or just steal) an election.

10. The Airport Men’s Room, where you can meet some of your favorite Republican Senators.

11. Last, but not least, there will be an entire floor devoted to a 7/8 scale model of the President’s ego.

Of course, there will be an autographed copy of “My Pet Goat”, which is in a climate-controlled, laser-beam protected, heat-proof, shatter-proof case.

To highlight the President’s only positive accomplishments, the museum will have an electron microscope available to help you locate them. Good luck ~

Tild sez: December has been a hectic and exhausting month for me, no doubt as it’s been for a lot of you. Haven’t felt like posting a damn thing, but I have been reading my usual 60 or 70 daily RSS feeds and as always there’s some hugely entertaining stuff out there.
Case in point: A Bluestem Prairie has had some great posts lately about [Republican MN State Senator and would-be Tim Walz challenger] Dick Day’s recent trip to Arizona to hobnob with his good buddies the Minutemen. As busy as I’ve been — with the two jobs, the two angst-ridden teenagers, the one depressed spouse, the one house’s (crumbling) infrastructure, the ten burned fingers from the marathon krumkakke baking — the photographic evidence of this grand excursion was just too much for a shameless old picture-tweaker like me to resist. Go now; read those BSP posts and enjoy!

Via Salon:

Bill O’Reilly appears on “The Late Show with David Letterman” tonight, but Page Six has already seen the tape and reports the goods. After calling the Fox pundit a “bonehead,” Letterman ventures a question on the war:

Letterman: Let me ask you a question — was there more heinous, more dangerous violence taking place before in Iraq, or is there more heinous, dangerous violence taking place now in Iraq?

O’Reilly: Oh, stop it. Saddam Hussein slaughtered 300,000 to 400,000 people, all right, so knock it off… It isn’t so black and white, Dave — it isn’t, ‘We’re a bad country. Bush is an evil liar.’ That’s not true.

Letterman: I didn’t say he was an evil liar. You’re putting words in my mouth, just the way you put artificial facts in your head!

Letterman later admits he hasn’t read O’Reilly’s book, “Culture Wars” — “I looked at it. I said, ‘What is it, a book on sailing?’ ” — and ends the interview by looking at his watch: “Oh, gosh, where has the time gone? I have no idea what I’m talking about — but I don’t think you do, either.”

(Page Six)

This oughta be good for some big laughs. Simonize your watches, kids!

Last week it was Spotty, this week it’s Mr. Sponge giving us an overview of little Johnny Hinderaker’s brilliant career as a photography authenticator.

So, how’s your caseload over at Faegre & Benson these days, Johnny?  Things a little slow, are they?
