Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

I find that I'm still grinning.

The Cute Will Kill You

Baby cheetahs born at the National Zoo each weighing about two pounds. The Washingtonian has this and more pics in a slide show.

Sun Today

I won't keep this up. I just love the sunny day after a huge snowstorm. That was my view as I drank my lovely mocha this morning and pondered the idiocy of Sarah Palin writing on her hand.

How I Will Spend My Summer Vacation

In my living room, 90+ degree weather on the way, I'm going to hunker down in the air conditioning.

Good News!

David Sirota tells me that Judd Gregg just withdrew his nomination for Commerce Secretary. I don't know more than that but if true, it is good.

(And he tweeted it. Which is why I know so soon. Yay Twitter.)

Do you think he will suddenly discover his ability to vote against the stimulus bill? I do.

This Is Totally Cool!

At first it looks like a fish-eye shot of the inauguration. But pan in. Anywhere. See if you can find George H.W. Bush and his amazing hat.

Have fun.

All I Want For Christmas Is You

I've neglected you my tender chickens. Here's a little music to brighten your Christmas. Sing along freely.

Donna Edwards

decisively won the primary fight for MD-4, unseating the long serving incumbent - 8 terms!! -- Al Wynn who was supported by Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel, and Steny Hoyer. YAY! It's a fine morning in spite of the layer of ice on everything. This is not my district but I did everything I could to to help her along. I am more than a little pleased to see a new person serving in that seat.

What is that you say? There is still the election in November? Piffle. This is a Democratic district. The winner of the Republican primary in this district has thus far garnered 3,577 votes. No, I'm not tempting fate. It's a done deal. Welcome Congresswoman Edwards. Life is good.
