Haha. From now on, I will have to refer to him as Dana “Dead Parrot” Milbank.

(Is it just me, or is “fjords” spelled wrong in that article? Or is there more than one way to spell fjords?)

Dana Milbank’s thoughts on the Clinton campaign - you know the Monty Python parrot sketch?

I am in the other room, but am certain that that was what was advertised.

Thanks for the Tumble blogging info, Becky. I have just ordered myself both versions of the Obama/Olbermann 08 bumper stickers.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes before my car is egged.

Olberfann, I am also upset, though not surprised based on some of the online comments I read. At least 2/3 rds of those who voted at the link said that it was racist.

Curious George is a big deal in my household, and my eight year old wrote his own Curious George story - Curious George and the Bank Robbers - just before Christmas and then gave copies to everyone in the family as Christmas presents, with a careful note from me on the title page that it was based on characters created by, was unauthorized, and with a notation as to the copyright.

So, while I do not consider CG to be a negative image (He is a good little monkey but always very curious, and somehow he always saves the day), in this context the intent is clearly racist and insulting.

Considering his friendship w/the management and publicly made statements that he, by and large, likes the guys involved with the organization … I think he was probably just fine.
