"The issue is, what is a centrist? The definition of a
centrist in D.C. is different than the definition of a centrist
in the country. Centrism in D.C. means anything that passes the
Senate by 99 to nothing, right? And as we know, usually things
that pass the Senate 99 to nothing are to rename a post office or
pass a corporate tax cut. "Out in the country, the
center, the polls will show the center is get out of Iraq, pass a
universal healthcare system, have the government invest a lot
more in job creation and infrastructure rebuilding. The -- what
we don't know yet is whether Obama is going to represent that
center, outside the Beltway, or if he is insistent on playing by
the rules of Washington, the Washington center that says what we
should do with the economy is simply give money to the
banks." -- David Sirota, on the PBS television program
Bill Moyers Journal, broadcast

a) I have a sudden, inexplicable urge to detonate small
bombs inside of very large kevlar balloons (with myself
being on the outside, some distance away -- and high-speed
photography would, of course, be involved).
b) Who set the kitty-alarm for 5:30 AM? (For at
least a week straight, she's jumped on me and then begged
for treats right around 5:30.)
