With thanks to The Who for the line and the melody, we're so proud to announce the "Followers" are having a baby boy in early July. Sara was fabulous today as she noted all the details in the ultrasound images and Pete was emotional to see their baby moving so actively for the first time live on camera _ so to speak. As the technician said, "It's unambiguous - that's male genitalia!"
All is right with the world so we'll wish all our friends and followers a good night!

Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you...
With apologies to Simon and Garfunkle I invoke their wonderful lyrics to Mrs Robinson (to be played by the seductive Kate Winslet in a remake of The Graduate in 2019) to examine former Sen Tom Daschle, President Obama's nominee for Secty of Health and Human Services.
Look, as all the pundits say, did you hit .325 over your career and therefore deserve hero status and free lunches at Paolo's in San Jose for life or did you serve in the US Senate, the most exclusive club in the free world, and then become a lobbyist and make $5M since leaving the Senate and now you want to oversee all those entities that paid you to speak and consult these last few years while you forgot to declare certain income like a car and driver "provided by a friend" - as well as questionable charitable deductions?
Mr President, you said things would be different in Washington under your administration but you looked alot like #43 today when asked if you were standing by your nominee. You gave a thumbs up and said "Absolutely" in response to an inquiry about your continued support of the tax-evading Senator.
So what's different? Skin color? Ethnicity? Political connections? Pay back for supporters?
Please Mr President, withdraw your nomination and demonstrate your campaign commitment to cleaning up our Capitol.
"Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Going to the candidates debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose."
