I actually had an incredibly productive weekend Friday. I met up with my friend Thelma who is a total godsend when it comes to this wedding planning crap because not only has she been to a lot of weddings, she used to be a wedding photographer. See what I mean? She accompanied me to the bridal salon and...I have officially picked my wedding dress! It was Lian's favorite when I went shopping with her back in August, but I was torn between *the* dress and another one. This time though *the* dress just jumped out at me so much more. And the extra-super-special-bonus is that it's the cheaper of the two. So my parent's checkbook is happy about that too.

Thelma also told me where I can get the bridesmaids dresses made. I love Thelma.

So after successfully selecting a wedding gown (and doing the happy dance because NO MORE DRESS SHOPPING WHEE!) I knocked out not one but two doctor's appointments. Which means I'm good...until my next doctor's appointment, but let's not talk about that because the point is I got a lot done on Friday. I even stopped in at Sushi-Mac for a couple of those good ol' Dynamite Mac Rolls. MMmmmm....baked mayo.

Anyway, I'd like to inject a bit of politics into this totally non-political post because I just spent four and a half hours in the car and about half of that was spent listening to Rush Limbaugh, who I don't get to listen to often enough. He was talking about Lynn Cheney's appearance on Wolf Blitzer (last Friday I believe, my Day of Productivity) and how she totally pwned Wolf Blitzer and CNN. This didn't surprise me in the least because I have had the pleasure of meeting Lynn Cheney and hearing her speak at a fundraiser during the 2004 election and she's nobody's fool. I don't use YouTube but you probably do so I definitely recommend that you go look it up and watch the segment. At the fundraiser in '04 one of my coworkers half-joked about how we should make her the VP candidate instead. No arguments here.

Rush also spent a lot of time talking about how CNN ran that video of terrorist snipers, provided to CNN by the terrorists themselves. I think I read something about that on Michelle Malkin's website last week but CNN allowing themselves to be used as a terrorist propaganda tool doesn't really surprise me so I don't think I read the whole article. However, I thought Rush asked an excellent question in regards to CNN's defense for why they ran the clip...you know the whole journalistic integrity bullsh*t line...So here's the question for those of you who didn't get to listen to Rush all morning long...What if the US military contacted CNN (although in the case of the terrorist video it was CNN that contacted the terrorists and said "please please pretty please give us something, we'll be really nice to you") and told them they had great footage of what our troops were able to do in various parts of Iraq? Would CNN run it? Or would they consider it propaganda and refuse to run it? I'm sure we all know the answer to these questions. And it just makes it that much more clear why CNN is FoxNews' b*tch.
