Blogging should resume next week. Sorry, but when you get back from seeing the world, sometimes a little blog seems so dull.

I'll return with recaps of the vacation, reviews of movies, and what we're up to now that we're back. Things are busy in our future, but this week is a recuperative week. See ya!

I remember reading this Onion article when it came out eight years ago. With each intervening year, I think it has only become more poignant.

Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over'

Here are a few key quotes:

"My fellow Americans," Bush said, "at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in American history that will come to be known as the Clinton Era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas. The time has come to put all of that behind us."

"Finally, the horrific misrule of the Democrats has been brought to a close," House Majority Leader Dennis Hastert (R-IL) told reporters. "Under Bush, we can all look forward to military aggression, deregulation of dangerous, greedy industries, and the defunding of vital domestic social-service programs upon which millions depend. Mercifully, we can now say goodbye to the awful nightmare that was Clinton's America."

The only thing detracting from the humor is the fact that everything in the article is so horribly true. If anything, the author underestimated what would happen to America during the Bush administration.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

Another great one from the guy who brought us "Take On Me - The Literal Version." This time we get "Head Over Heels." Man, 80's music videos were pretty crazy.
