I love FactCheck.org. They're the antidote to my friends, family, and others who pummeled me daily during this past election with one nonsensical claim after another, via email and online discussion forums.

That's it, just a photo. Sorry, nothing to say here. Move along.

Mrs. Wiggy called me this morning - overnight tornadoes touched down all around our home in Wilson, NC, and did some major devastation, killed several people. She's OK. More tornadoes predicted, Mrs. Wiggy and the dogaloos are keeping their heads down. More news as events warrant.

Inmate escapes German jail in box
By Greg Morsbach
BBC News

A manhunt is under way in western Germany for a convicted drug dealer who escaped by mailing himself out of jail.

The 42-year-old Turkish citizen - who was serving a seven-year sentence - had been making stationery with other prisoners destined for the shops.

At the end of his shift, the inmate climbed into a cardboard box and was taken out of prison by express courier. His whereabouts are still unknown.

I called this some time ago. In fact, I sent an email to David Axelrod, suggesting this very thing (almost) - way back on June 4h of 2008.

Da snow, id idz blowin,

By lungs, dey idz wheezin.

O, winder idz comin,

An durkey we're lovin.
Gid out da big coat,
Cuz winder idz here.

Da end.

Brought to you by strong coffee, Jimmy Dean sausages, and the missing letter 'T', which has been given the holidays off.

I got yet another email from my sister this morning. I often trash the "Obama is a fink" emails she likes to send without reading them, but this one caught my eye, as it had a link to the National Rifle Association's ILA website, and referred to President-Elect Obama's apparent (?) early agenda to revert to Democratic type and try to take my guns away. Here's the link:
