This might be the funniest thing you will see today. It was produced by a sitting United States Senator. Given the particular candidate, what’s wrong with this picture?

You make the call.

Here’s a nifty little thing.

It’s a “tag cloud”, as the hep kids call them these days, that “shows the popularity, frequency, and trends in the usages of words within speeches, official documents, declarations, and letters written by the Presidents of the US between 1776 – 2006.” The bigger the size of the word as it appears in the cloud, the more often it was used and the more emphasis was placed on it. Move the little slider at the top back and forth on the timeline and see what words pop out for the different presidents, and even how those decisions changed within the term of that president’s service.

Carl and Nora say:

Happy Halloween!

(more to come…)

So we received a postcard offering a photo session with a company called, “Sleepy Hollow Studios” Does that mean they cut the heads off in all of the pictures?

Carl got to see his very first Ohio State football game yesterday. I think he enjoyed himself, don’t you? (and GREAT seats courtesy of my father-in-law — thanks, Bob!)

See more of ’em here.

EDIT: Okay, yeah, the more I think about it, the more Jake is totally right — so, fixed.
