The Median Sib

So Vice President Dick Cheney talks to Fox News today. Here’s the news story. Here are a few of his words:

“I had a bit of the feeling that the press corps was upset because, to some extent, it was about them - they didn’t like the idea that we called the Corpus Christi Caller-Times instead of The New York Times,” he said. “But it strikes me that the Corpus Christi Caller-Times is just as valid a news outlet as The New York Times is, especially for covering a major story in south Texas.”

Boy, ain’t THAT the truth! Talk about doing their best to make a scandal and cover-up out of nothing! It was a terrible accident. Period.

This morning when I got dressed for work, I thought my hair looked especially nice. I honestly did! Sometimes no matter what I do, it just doesn’t look right. I was pleased that today wasn’t one of those days.

Later at school, my third grade reading group walked into my classroom - five bright-eyed children who were unusually quiet (probably on a low after yesterday’s valentine sugar high). As Nicki sat down, she looked at me and said (and I quote verbatim):

“It looks like you are having a bad hair day!”
“Oh,” I replied. “My hair looks bad?”
“No, it just looks like you’re having a bad hair day.”

She contradicted herself. Right? I felt my hair to make sure there were no wayward strands sticking out, and then grabbed pencil and paper to write down Nicki’s exact words. As they say, “Pride goeth before the fall.”
