Hasn’t he figured it out yet? He’s aligned himself with the biggest loser in the party of losers. His timing is masterful: he’ll find himself even more in the minority than he is now, with his “party of one” position. VOA News – Former Democrat Lieberman Endorses Republican McCain for President

I’m listening to Wait, Wait! Don’t Tell Me!, and their celebrity guest is Dana Perino, the White House press secretary. They’ve made her laugh and feel more comfortable, as they know she’s had a tough week. First, her boss was unwavering in his position, even when it was eroding out from under him like the sands of time at high tide. Someone told him last summer they had “news for him” regarding Iran, and he accepted the news that there was news with gravity, but didn’t actually inquire as to what the new news was. Because he’s not that kind…

It’s been a busy couple of weeks here at Chez Gique. We’re having a cozy night “in” with the fire going, as it’s a cold, blustraceous, snowy day. And later when the fire’s out, we now have a cover for the opening to keep the draft out and the heat in that David made. Eventually, we’ll make it look like more than a sheet of plywood with a handle on it, but it’ll do. Last night we went to the holiday party for David’s company – a really nice time. It was held at Cantigny Golf and Tennis Club, with…

I am thankful that so far, the administration of this country hasn’t found a way to blame the following on a Congress that won’t hand him their war budget on a silver platter: kdka.com – Military Asks Wounded Soldiers To Return Portions Of Signing Bonuses PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― The U.S. Military is demanding that thousands of wounded service personnel give back signing bonuses because they are unable to serve out their commitments. To get people to sign up, the military gives enlistment bonuses up to $30,000 in some cases. Now men and women who have lost arms, legs, eyesight, hearing…

Yes, I’ve been remiss. Yes, I’ve been up late a lot. The steep learning curve has been leveling off, though, and I may even watch television tonight (tomorrow for sure, because Torchwood is on). Some things going on in my life that don’t require logging on: Last week at Holy Moly, we celebrated All Saints with great music, and a moving and joyful (and very wet) baptism. St Nicholas has a font that’s more like a wading pool, it looks like this when not actually in use: This is from last year’s Bishop’s Visitation with Bp. Victor Scantlebury, the assistant…

After a night of free classes, dancing to the Beatles at Grizzy’s, and tinkering with a big box o’ sounds and gestures, I like to unwind with a few hundred pullups at Firefly’s Bar at Blackburne Downport.

After reading Joey’s inaugural Excited States post, I ran across something in David Beard’s Archaeology in Europe blog that got me started thinking about Neanderthals, mice, FOX News reporters, and Democratic Congresspersons. Fooling around with “find and replace” in Wordpad is childish good fun. Neanderthals had key speech gene, researchers say | The Register http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/19/neanderthal_speech/ FOX News reporters may have a reputation in popular culture as a lumbering, grunting people, but researchers have discovered that they did have a gene thought to play a key role in speech. Samples of DNA were retrieved from two FOX News reporter fossils found…
