As I recall, I saw Clarence Thomas first on C-SPAN right after the confirmation hearings. He had a big cigar going (always something that impresses me -- I miss the Rockford Files when Garner could have a heater!) and gave a thoroughly upbeat speech. I think it was an attempt by Claremont to give him a little love at a time he was being eschewed on the chicken dinner circuit. So when I read onInfinite Monkeys that Rush Limbaugh is getting an award, I kind of think it isn't an accident. And so, while I'm also thinking of it, here's Donovan McNabb's line from yesterday's game against the Giants:

9 completions in 23 attempts for 64 yards, no TDs, one INT.

Maybe Claremont can get Rush to help teach the Giants to tackle a freaking punt returner.
