Happy Mother's Day!  

To all the mothers out there.  And if you haven't called your mother, do it right now.

My by-now traditional Mother's Day duck.  (Incidentally, this duck is almost surrounded by people, including a little girl just a yard away from her, and doesn't seem much bothered by the company.

Some mothers will prefer flowers.

1. Happy Mothers Day.

While I can no longer call Mom, I do know where she is staying.

4. My name is David G, and I'm John Edwards' love child. I am so ashamed.

I'm ashamed that I didn't know which of Daddy's Two Americas to send ProFlower flowers to for Mothers Day ... Rielle's white-trash America, or Oprah's Real America. Rielle looked like a sure bet to be me mum since I'm trash and more-or-less white, but then there was this from MSNBC:

"Proving the title of her new memoir, 'Resilience,' to be accurate, Elizabeth Edwards sheds some highly personal insights into her life, her health and her husband's infidelity with Oprah Winfrey, in a TV interview to air on The Oprah Winfrey Show Thursday."

Infidelity with Oprah? Everybody knows that lawyers such as Daddy like to do it in their briefs, but Daddy finally hit the big time. The old man was my main man for president, of course, but doing Oprah is even bigger and better than buzzing Manhattan in Air Force One. To say nothing of the fact that Oprah has even more money than Tony Rezko.

So what's a mother to do? And what am I to do? Can't even get past Step 1 in my 12-steppin' since I can't make a fearless inventory because I don't know who's who and what's what.

I mean, I can't even get the truth about Daddy and ... Mommy ... from the New York Times. They've got no time for Daddy because they're still trying to prove that McCain had an affair with Larry Craig.
