That's not funny at all! I'm pretty sure that I read in a magazine that W said that the main cause of global warming is polar bear farts...

I wonder how he reconciles that with intelligent design.
Jackie, we probably did discuss it. You collect good stationery (I look forward to your cards every year). Most greeting cards are just really, really awful, like they're a fallback career for people fired from the writing staff of Two and a Half Men for not being funny enough. They insult my intelligence. This sentence tickled me.

Trekkers Will Understand
The Netflix summary of Deep Space Nine (Season Two): "Commander Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) heads the crew of Deep Space Nine -- including Odo (Rene Auberjonois), Worf (Michael Dom), Dax (Terry Farrell) and others -- as it travels through space, trying to keep both the ship and the areas it travels safe, secure and free. One of the first (and greatest) challenges the intrepid voyagers face is the violence of the Dominion, a group composed partially of the shape-shifting Changelings." Gee, I wonder why fans call this the most misunderstood of all Star Trek series. Go »
