Mardi Gras Is Breaking Out All Over...

Big News

Republican governors say President Bush's missteps are hurting the party back home. Republican governors would have realized this three years ago if they'd ever stop partying back home.

Don Knotts, who played Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show" has died. Fife was the bumbling character who was only allowed to carry one bullet, in his chest pocket. Or was that Dick Cheney? (Jim Barach)

Fat Tuesday

Tuesday is Mr. Ed Day, marking the "talking horse's" death on February 28th in 1979. The pilot show, entitled, "The Wonderful World of Wilbur Pope" and produced by George Burns, was never broadcast, but TV bosses thought it could be successful with a few changes. The TV series "Mister Ed" first became a syndicated show on January 5th, 1961.
- Ever the optimist, Mr. Ed's final words were, "Don't mourn for me, Wilbur, I'm gonna make the stickiest batch of glue in horse history."

I'd like to remind you that February, our shortest month, ends Tuesday at midnight. So before you go to bed tonight, be sure to turn your calendar ahead one month.

Lent begins on Wednesday, so Tuesday is Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, a day to sin as much as possible so Lent will be more meaningful. That's not a Christian attitude, of course, but it seems to be a more popular one.

Mardi Gras is breaking out all over. Mardi Gras is a French term meaning Fat Tuesday. Fat Tuesday is an English term meaning "I think I'm gonna be sick!"
