Feeding Day & Does No one Get A Joke Anymore?

What do you feed Wilbur? Dead baby mice of course. Today was the first day Sean was supposed to try and feed his snake (he gets one mouse a week). They warned us that he may be a little nervous at first and may not eat. Not a problem. A couple of seconds of dangling the mouse in front of Wilbur got him to snap it up and in a minute, he had the thing down.

Other snake highlight, he shed his skin last night too. I should just turn this into a snake blog.

You likely caught this one on the news. This is the cover of the latest issue of the New Yorker and it's creating quite the stir south of the boarder.

Here's the ABC story => http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/07/obama-new-yorke.html

I guess main stream media in the States is getting so close to unintentional satire that when actual satire hits the news stands, few people seem to get the joke. In fact the very media that is going on about how terrible this cover is are the people that this biting satire is aimed at. Unfortunately, they're too stupid to realize they're being made fun of.

I mean, here's Fox news (yes, I know, an easy target) reporting on the Obamas fist bumping (why this is even news is beyond me). I guess the truth is, if they honestly can't tell how stupid they sound when they go on and on about this stuff, how can I possibly expect them get a not-so-subtle jab from the New Yorker.
