  • "� Sherman T. Potter ...": Here's the link to the Wikipedia entry for Col. Potter, the long-suffering head of the fictional 4077th M*A*S*H unit in Korea.

  • "� Grapes of Wrath ...": Here's the quote as delivered by Henry Fonda in the Grapes of Wrath which won two Oscars. Best Supporting Actress for Jane Darwell and Best Director for John Ford:
    "I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there.

    I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too."

  • "� Obama and Iran I ...": Here's a link to the Washington Post's reporting on Obama's inability to articulate a response to the demonstrations in Iran last Wednesday.

  • "� Jethro Gibbs ...": Robert Gibbs is the White House Press Secretary. Here's the Wikipedia link to the character played by Mark Harmon in the TV series NCIS.

  • "� Obama and Iran II ...": Here's a link to the USA Today coverage of the Obama presser yesterday.

    Mullfoto of the Day

    A couple of weeks ago I wrote a MULLINGS about being able to get a goverment voucher for trading in your clunker for a car that gets higher mileage. I suggested that the listed mileage on new cars might be determined by coasting down hills.

    Lo and behold, this was the instant mileage in a Chevy Impala (or whatever) I rented for my trek to West Virginia last week as I coasted down the west side of a mountain on I-68.


    Catchy Caption of the Day

    Actual Caption:

    A saltwater crocodile seen here in Australia's Northern Territory in 2008. A 3.5-metre (11-foot) saltwater crocodile remains at large in northern Western Australia despite the best efforts of professional shooters, public broadcaster ABC said.

    However, the number of professional shooters appears to be mysteriously dropping.
