This is a pretty good gag, stumbled across in the New Yorker, online.
It's worth a look for a laugh.
It's a beautiful day outside, and did manage to get out for a little bit, but am still mostly housebound thanks to my nagging stitches. So I'm watching college football. Big surprise, eh? This morning while I was watching ESPN's...Ellsworth

Umpires and Judges.WIth Presidential approval of the BRAC report, it's all over but the shouting & Ellsworth survived the process.
President Bush on Thursday endorsed a plan for closing 22 major military bases and reconfiguring 33 others, leaving their fate to Congress.Bush had until Sept. 23 to either accept the entire report from an independent commission and send it to Congress, or return it to the commission for further work. The report will become final in 45 days unless Congress acts to reject it in full. In previous rounds, lawmakers never have rejected reports, meaning communities probably have little hope of a reprieve for their bases.Likewise, bases left off the BRAC closure list, have little to fear at this point.

Since I have absolutely nothing better to do (saddlebronc riding, jumping jacks are out of the question) on Saturday, I'm planning on watching C-SPAN's broadcast of the Hitchens-Galloway "debate." If you want a text-only run-down before catching Hitch and Galloway...
