Erratum in "Lipstick on a Pig"
I had a "d'oh" moment about this last night: In the column there's a reference to how you can't find the text of Bush's "2001 state of the union address" at whitehouse.gov. It turns out that this is because the big speech to both houses of Congress that Bush gave shortly after September 11 was not technically a SOTU address; it was a "Budget Message." I remembered it as being a SOTU address because it looked exactly like SOTU addresses always do and was pretty much billed as one; but it wasn't. Oops.

Plaid Adder Productions regrets the error,

3. Jus tryin' to help out!
Have you ever asked yourself, why does Bush slip away to his pig ranch every chance he gets?

6. I try not to think too much about Bush's private life.
You could go blind doing that.

4. Plaid, you made my morning reading "Lipstick on the Pig!" Excellent
article and the Pig Imagery had me laughing so hard. The costume changes have indeed been incredible with this pig.:D

A must read for those of us who are kind of down this a.m.

Another well written column with excellent imagery.

Thanks Plaid Adder.

10. Yeah, and that smell is distinctive, let me tell you...
I often pass semis loaded with hogs on their way to market while I'm out on the highway. That is an aroma you will never forget.

The pig digression was my favorite part. By the end of it I was starting to kind of feel bad for the pig.

C ya,

8. For a minute there I thought I was reading Morford!
Then I realized there weren't enough mentions of lubricants...

Another fine piece, thank you!

9. I try to deliver complete sentences.
I love Morford too, but the runon thing grates after a while. I'm not making any promises about the lube references, though. Who knows how low I'll end up sinking.

C ya,
