There is a crazy little squirrel greeting drivers as they cross the Hulton Bridge to enter Oakmont.

While he's not exactly one of the crazy little squirrels who force drivers to stop suddenly throughout the borough, he will soon hold the same warm spot in residents' hearts.

Oakmont Chamber of Commerce has launched a new campaign to boost tourism and encourage more people to come to town to shop and the squirrel is going to help. He's on a billboard near the Hulton Bridge beckoning drivers to veer their cars to Oakmont's business district.

And the web site itself deserves some kudos. Look! Squirltummy!

Also, the prez writes a note wanting a bathroom break. No, not made up. Fiction pales before the daily calamity of reality.

I think the guy is a moron too, but c'mon. He's at a U.N. "revitalization summit." And everybody knows that ol' "Oil for Money" Annan can talk for three hours straight without taking a breath.

And I'm a little miffed at the over-the-top scrutiny. That wasn't a blown-up picture, somebody sat there waiting for Bush to do something even marginally embarrassing. Hell, if they did the same thing to Clinton, we'd have phone numbers for half the trailer parks in Arkansas.

Oh, I wasn't mocking or deriding him for it. I think he's got enough on his record to crucify him with without worrying about scribbled notes. I just thought it was amusing in a slice-of-life sorta way. The fact that he was writing to Condi indicated an inquiry into protocol and not a "Mother-may-I" aspect, I thought.
