Patriot pop-quiz:

Q: Who does a better job of demonstrating their support for the troops:

• Sandy Point Supper Club [picture]
• The birds in my backyard [picture]

A: I wanted to go with the birds on a count of purple not being one of our national colors, but earlier today a squirrel told me that one of the birds spent the afternoon talking with an Arab television station. As a result, I'm left with no choice but to give this one to the real American heroes: the good folks down at the Supper Club.

On a non-cable-news note, Gerry and Tracy had their baby yesterday. It turned out to be a boy. And even though I was suggesting Paul Bunyan Blanck, they went with Gavin Gerald Blanck. Either way, I bet he's a cutie. I'll put some pictures up after we go see them.
