The word of the week this week seems to have been "bow". How many instances can you find? Join me after the fold for my list. I think you'll find some Mojo there too. If you can bow low enough.
We all know that President Obama's bow to the Japanese emperor Akihito was blown far out of proportion in the media, but thinking back over the past week some others are coming to my mind:
--Lou Dobbs bowed out of his hosting job at CNN, with a well-deserved kick in the pants on the way out the door
--Douglas Hoffman bowed to the heckling from Glenn Beck and retracted his bow to the superior electoral performance of his opponent in NY-23, Bill Owens. Too bad Owens was already sworn in and cast his vote NOT to bow to Republican attempts to block health care reform.
--In an attempted shot across the bow of Democratic progress, Republicans tried to filibuster one of Obama's judicial appointments. They missed the bow; in fact they missed the boat altogether.
--I avoided most of the Carrie Prejean hoo-haw except for her delightful appearance on Larry King, but I'm content to imagine her sex tapes by the sound-track playing in my head: bow chicka bow bow...
--And finally, the hottest news going...seems Sarah Palin is open to a Palin-Beck ticket in 2012. Bwahahaha. Sorry, Palin makes me lose the ability to spell.
Mojo Friday Guidelines
- If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
- Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
- You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
- You don't have to comment to recommend.
- You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
- Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments. Now, after 300, use a little common courtesy and be responsible in the number.
- Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
- TexDem (our benevolent sponsor) and MKinTN (that's me) are not bound by the guidelines. Heh.
