Saturday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The president and his family are in Africa, Ghana, to be specific. He did his weekly address this week on how the stimulus is helping -- and will help -- the economy.

A couple of haikus for the Obama administration from KarenMrsLloydRichards. On Palin:

Desperate housewife:
She's like Bree in hip waders--
She's not a quitter!

And on the economic recovery (or not):

Green shoots shrivel up,
So understimulated,
Will there be a crop?

Obama keeps telling us there will be a crop. There better be.

I'm heading out now for a longish run. We're doing 14 miles today. My running partner, Courtney, and I have done five marathons together. This year, we're doing the Marine Corps Marathon at the end of October. Courtney had a baby in January (and I'm his godfather.) I had bad asthma through the winter, then that annoying appendectomy at the end of March. So, both of us have been working to rebuild our endurance. But, I think we're on track. I'll know for sure in a couple hours.

Okay, let's get rolling here...
