1. First time I have had a tea-drinking accident - at Dave.

2. FUNNY as hell!!!! And every point BW makes is TRUE.

Particularly the fact that Obama voted against Roberts' confirmation.

And the bit about Harvard v. Harvard? Harvard also educated Alberto Gonzales....

Maybe they would have been better off having some guy who went to community college swear him in. The Chief Justice doesn't HAVE to do it--it's just custom. There was no Chief Justice on the plane going back from Dallas in November of 63, after all....


Lyndon B. Johnson taking the U.S. Presidential Oath of Office on Air Force One following the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. He was sworn in by Judge Sarah T. Hughes, making him the first President sworn in by a woman. Johnson was not sworn using a Bible; none could be found aboard the plane. A Roman Catholic Missal was discovered in Kennedy's desk, and this book was used during the swearing-in ceremony.

13. Let's Just Set This Straight for the Record...

Brian Williams is one of the funniest people alive. He is quick, his humor is dry and profound at times. No one can be as self-deprecating...he never takes himself too seriously. Do you remember his appearance on SNL...Some of the funniest stuff I've seen. Brian is the best kept secret in entertainment.

We must keep the Dutch from learning what Americans think is funny. We must not allow them to close the humor gap.
