Weather
I'm part of the crazy wakes-up-early-to-exercise crowd.  Honestly, if I'm up at about 0530, the weather's nice enough.  It's like 70 degrees, which feels almost chilly.  It's a testament to people's ability to adjust.  Well, partially.

When you have to get a high public official to dispel rumors his side is fond of spreading, something's wrong.

Nearly 1,000 falsehoods and half-truths since '01 about 9/11 and the war in Iraq.

Every time this subject comes up, I can't help but think about how Bush's worst punishment has been a dismal approval rating (20-30%, I think) whereas Bill Clinton got impeachment hearings for getting frisky with Monica ( Read more... )
