from [livejournal.com profile] penelopesque: "I woke up a little before 4:30 and said - Oh no! And then I remembered - It's not insomnia if you've had eight hours of sleep."

from the news article telling us that Berkeley Breathed is retiring his "Opus" comic strip just before election day: "With the crisis in Wall Street and Washington, I'm suspending my comic strip to assist the nation. The best way I can help is to leave politics permanently and write funny stories for America's kids. I call on John McCain to join me."

I think Breathed may be becoming curmudgeonly, but I have liked some of his older books for kids, and I keep meaning to get "Mars Needs Moms."

There certainly are plenty of terrible authors of children's books out there (some of whom are lucky enough not to have their names on the books, I'm thinking of some of those Disney titles that seem to be written by committee, or maybe a computer program), but there's always room for more. Especially if it's keeping them out of D.C. :)
