Still waiting on Calgary and Banff photos to share with you (I didn't take my own camera, since it's on the fritz, so I must wait patiently for a certain friend... ahem... to upload the photos we took!).
Meanwhile, on my last birthday I was given the gift of a day-by-day calendar based on Jon Stewart's highly amusing America (The Book). The calendar is, of course, very funny and elicits a smirk from me each morning when I arrive at work and excitedly tear off the top page to reveal that day's hilarity.
One recent day provided me something especially smirk-worthy. Enjoy:

"Asshole"
While the collegial nature of Congress prevents members from coming right out and calling each other "asshole," senators and representatives constantly say as much in elaborate false displays of courtesy. When a congressman uses a phrase like "with all due respect," "my distinguished colleague," or "what the junior senator from Montana fails to realize...," he is really saying "asshole." Drink!
