Adopted (or Mean Things I Said to my Brother)

I teased Levi unmercifully when we were growing up. I would tell him he was adopted. He’d say “No, I’m not”, and I’d ask him if he had a mustache like Dad. He’d answer no and I’d say “So, you’re adopted.” I really think I’m lucky nothing happened to me in my sleep….

Donna Brazile

A clip from Donna Brazile closing “If I Were Running This Campaign,”, a panel hosted by Jeffrey Toobin of the New Yorker. The article accompanying the clip gives more details. It’s definitely worth watching. My favorite part of the whole thing: “…and might I add, being a female does not make me dumb!”

I enjoy watching Donna when she is on CNN, but if possible, I like her more now. She’s usually so even-keeled. It’s great to see her passion and speaking her mind.

I dare you not to “aaawww” out loud. I sure did. There are more pics with the story found here. (His name is Rupert)

Dad and I saw these Ankole-Watusi cattle at the Tulsa State Fair this weekend. Yes, those horns are as big as they look. From what I can tell, the ones with the horizontal horns are just a certain trait, like black wool in sheep.
