You know, even though we all believe our President when he says everything’s going great in Iraq, and it’s all just the media’s fault, reporting on the bad news, it’s sometimes hard to understand what he means (since we can’t all be as valiant as Laura Ingraham, and be escorted around camp Victory and all the other really swell places over there). So, here are some photos that show our glorious leader’s handiwork. Flash required. Hover your mouse over the the “index” in the lower left corner, and then click on the photgrapher’s name to enter their gallery. Hover over “caption” to get a description.

We’ve done so much for the Iraqi people in just three short years. I can’t wait to see what Iran’s extreme makeover will look like.

No early Clippers game tonight (or late one, either), so it’s your basic 2 hour Marc Maron show (or, for us non-vampires, an hour and fifteen minute or so podcast in the morning). It was great to hear Mr. FK on last night’s show (and we all join Marc in sending lots of love to Mrs. FK).

On tonight’s show Marc will have comedians Todd Barry and Al Madrigal, plus mad cow expert Dr. Michael Gregor (who has apparently escaped from the clutches of the USDA “truth” squad) will be in to talk about how cows that leave their cell phone chargers plugged in are at risk of developing Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. And, as if that wasn’t enough fun, Heather Rogers will try and stay awake long enough to talk trash with Marc.

As usual, you can call into the show at 1 (877) 520-1150 (in KTLK’s regional calling area), or 1 (800) 783-7412 nationally.

Hey, show’s on!
