Retired General Wesley Clark intends to join the throngs of other Democratic hopefuls running for President. I think this is a good thing since objective #1 is to defeat Bush. And in these times of war, who better to take on Bush in the war debate? Here’s an email that I just sent to Karen […]

Revisionist History

San Jose Mercury News: “President Bush said Wednesday that there has been ‘no evidence’ that Iraq’s Saddam Hussein was involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, disavowing a link that had been hinted previously by his administration.” Am I in the Twilight Zone? Is it just me, or were the two main arguments for […]

Hurricane Isabel
Thursday, September 18th, 2003 · Comments Off on Hurricane Isabel
As Hurricane Isabel engulfs the East Coast, we sit here in sunny California, a stark contrast to the turmoil of the tropical storm. I heard on the radio this morning that stubborn Virginians who won’t evacuate are being asked to write their names and social security numbers on their arms in waterproof, permanent markers in […]

On September 7 Jen and I purchased our new PowerBook. It arrived on the 10th. I read just last night that on September 16 Apple finally announced its new line of Titanium PowerBooks. And with that, the cost of the 12″ refurbished 867, which we bought, dropped $200. This, I’ve realized, is the cost of […]

Rough Night

Jen and I have been feeling really tired and under the weather this week. The timing is especially bad since we fly to New York early Friday morning for cousin Jack and Kim’s wedding in Cooperstown. So not only are we tired, but we have to hope our traveling doesn’t coincide with Hurricane Isabel when […]

Recall Election Postponed
Monday, September 15th, 2003 · Comments Off on Recall Election Postponed
Hot off the press: “A federal appeals court postponed California’s Oct. 7 gubernatorial recall election, ruling the historic vote cannot proceed as scheduled because some votes would be cast using outmoded punch-card ballot machines.” This is good news indeed. More time to rally the vote against the recall. Hopefully this will have a positive impact […]

In Ice Cream We Trust
Monday, September 15th, 2003 · Comments Off on In Ice Cream We Trust
Ananova: “United States police are searching for a man who paid for his groceries with a forged 200 dollar bank note bearing the image of President George W Bush.” Gotta love this country. Where else but in America would someone accept currency that doesn’t exist and displays the picture of the man currently living in […]

Jen and I stepped out of our cavelike apartment this morning at about 10:30 to take the dogs for a walk. The sun was shining so brightly I could barely see. I quickly dove into my car to seek respite from my sunglasses. And damn is it hot. According to Yahoo Weather it’s currently 83º […]
