Rabbit Castles in the Clouds...and Clinton and Obamarama!

I will have to find that original rabbit picture someday and post it on my blog with this one.
The quote for this week was: "It may have been a castle, but it was unlike anything you'd see in history books. An alien hand had drawn the blueprints; I was willing to bet on that."
