Evenin', all.
I confess our theme tonight was inspired by something very strange:
As you know, I'm not exactly the most loyal of the Big Man's fans--and in particular, treacherous soul that I am, I still miss Dana Milbank terribly.
Milbank does a livechat on Fridays at noon at his WaPo site (I can't participate, but I read the transcripts afterwards) and today mentioned he was recovering from what he called "bubonic stomach flu." He joked about feeling some better today, and about thinking of heading over to check out the CPAC sessions--that conservative thingy that Jindal and Palin stood up--whereupon a germphobic poster accused him of attempting biological domestic terrorism. (Hey, it's funny as hell!) Whereupon Milbank inquired mildly, "How'd you know I was planning to lick the doorknobs?"
My first reaction was EEEEWWWWW--
My second was to leave Milbank a comment: to the effect that I was overcome with an uncontrollable urge to spray Lysol in the general direction of DC.
Care to join me?

Okay, I've armed myself. I've also written a theme song! So break out the Lysol Spray down the commode Don't get in my way now I might need to unload Change the bag in the trashcan I'll pass the bug on for free And if you should catch it Come sit by me Misery loves company. (The tune is, of course, the Porter Wagoner hit "Misery Loves Company".)

Robert Gates has looked so much more relaxed now that he's working with a man who has a brain.

Oops! Where are my manners! Good evening all. Hi, Linda. And I may charge the Lysol people a commission for promoting their product.

Oh, my. We're off to a rousing start here.
Come to think of it, that's not a bad idea. There is a germ-laden atmosphere about DC whether anybody's actually got "bubonic stomach flu" or not--the pols and their antics make ME sick. . .
Just sayin'.

Katie and I discussed what might be appropriate food for the stomach bug. Traditionally, I have called these "clean foods." Among them are, certainly, Chicken soup (this is the cleanest looking soup I could find) ... And saltine crackers. Sometimes I skip the soup.

Now, you may disagree with this, but I consider this an indispensable clean food. A baked potato with a little butter and salt to help soothe the tummy.

Especially IN your chicken soup. I won't tell if you won't.

Popsicles for those whose stomachs aren't quite ready for soup and saltines (although that butter sounds scrumptious):

Did anyone get a chance to try the pomegranate 7up over the holidays? I really liked it. I would be good if you were sick to give you some taste variation.
