I was sitting in the Hip Boss’ office with my back to the window. He says, “Cool sunset.” I look, yeah, it’s cool. He says, “You should take a picture of that.” I look again, and realize he’s right. There’s a really odd cloud formation, and the sunset is casting shadows from the lower clouds to the higher ones.

The Hip Wife said recently, “You can’t say anything bad about Obama, or I won’t have sex with you anymore.”

Here’s my contribution to the national debate over the stimulus package making its way through Congress: It’s hilarious to hear people use the phrase “stimulus package” over and over again, as well as the words “stimulate” and “stimulating”.

The possibilities are endless:

That’s quite a stimulus package you’ve got there, you must be happy to see me.

First woman: Size isn’t everything.
Second woman: Then you haven’t seen his stimulus package.

President Obama needs to use a firm hand to get his stimulus package through Congress.
