May Day - or was that mayday?

Suddenly, things have gotten busy today, so I'll have to let the well-crafted words of others say exactly what's on my mind...

- A wonderful piece by georgia10 at DailyKOS, applauding the boldly critical performance by Stephen Colbert at this weekend's White House Correspondents' Dinner. If you haven't already done so, check out the video here - and thank Stephen while you're at it.

- Under the heading of "They Can't Make This Shit Up" comes a report from Christy Hardin Smith at firedoglake on George Bush's proclamation of May 1st as (wait for it) "Law Day U.S.A." This year's theme: "Liberty Under Law: Separate Branches, Balanced Powers."

- Also from DailyKOS, mcjoan comments on the three-year anniversary of the infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech, and how, on that day, the "Commander-in-Chief solidified his true role as Liar-in-Chief."

Gotta run. More later.
