I offer my mea culpa today. I was pretty sick overnight and just realized it was FRiday. I had diarrhea for 19 hours straight, am a little weak, but appear to be over it. So sorry to all the WFTDers who were looking for the thread this morning.

For all his references to ‘I’ and ‘me’, you’ll never hear Obama utter “mea culpa”...

OK! I do feel bad for you. I’ve had 19 hours of pukes, and they both suck. I am sorry for you, and it’s OK for you to call in today. You are a good FRiend, and I guess you’re just not ready for some good-natured ribbing yet.

I'm so sorry that you were miserable. I hope you continue to heal over the weekend and will be all bright eyed and bushy tailed for Monday morning. The electric company turned off my power this AM at 8 to string new wire on my new poles, so I wasn't on my computer at all. I had to flee the house because no power, no AC, no water, no nothing!

Are you feeling better today?

The emperor can’t shut up-
He can’t resist temptation
He hurries to his ‘prompter
To scold a pissed off nation

If he has to be Pavlovian,
A mea culpa or two (or three)
Might even give the illusion
That he wasn’t just a wannabe

In his mind he’s a legend-
The hero du jour, the best-
As Snowden spoils that image
Vlad Putin howls at the jest...
