You think?

Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff selling radio, cable assets I wonder if it’s the same Pfaltzgraff

Halloween!

President Bush has nominated Judge Sam Allito to replace J. O’Connor. Well, we’ll see. But, when your opposition’s nickname for you is “Scalito” (or “Scalia-Lite”), what are we supposed to say? Pluto has more moons. Cool. So, if one moon is Charon, what will the others be called? See, I figure like this: Pluto was [...]

The Last Weekend of October, or Halloween’s Eve

Hmm, interesting story: due to concerns of the extinction of the beluga, beluga caviar is going to be banned. So, I guess you better eat while you can. (well, not like I eat that stuff). But, there’s almost a cost-benefit analysis – give up your luxury to save a species. Eat other kinds of caviar. [...]

Thursday into Friday

So, the whole big news of the day: Harriet Miers, Supreme Court nominee, withdrew. On the one hand, we could see it coming. She didn’t look like quality; she may be a good lawyer, but she wasn’t the epitome of a nominee. The Right Wingers had to be reassured by the White House’s tack of [...]

Wednesday

The passing of Civil Rights icon, Rosa Parks. The passing of the NY Giants owner/football industry icon, Wellington Mara. Check out the Associated Press coverage – at least Mara got to enjoy the winning game on Sunday. The latest Doonesbury storyline: Mike Doonesbury is taking his daughter, Alex, on the college tours. MIT, Cornell, Rensselaer, [...]

Sea change in attitude

The leader meter I remember 20+ years ago that the results of this would be a bit of an impossibility to consider. My how things have changed. And I’m alive to see it!

Flood of Dreams

It’s officially a Nor’easter tonight. Wilma + Tropical Storm Alpha = a lot of wind and rain. Medium today was quite good – psychic vs. psychic. When does Patricia Arquette actually have a good dream? Comedy news is now officially more effective than major news outlets. The embattled NY Times dubbed The Coubert Report (pronounced [...]

Monday

Interesting article – the White House doesn’t want another Souter. Personally, I just don’t think Justice Souter is such a bad guy and I liked how this article indicated that there were clues that Souter’s jurisprudence wasn’t based on conservatism, but that George Bush’s folks didn’t seem to see it: President George H.W. Bush never [...]

New Camera

I’m now no longer digitally cameraless!!! P- got me an advance b-day gift – a Kodak P850 digital camera. It’s only been out for 2 [...]

Busy….

Weather’s changed for the cold now. It’s been a good few days, less stress, more time for myself, good effort at work and QT with B-. Preparing for possibly a very busy November and December with work and such. Went out and picked up a new Asus laptop for under USD 1,000. Will be bumping [...]
