- I wasn't paying attention when Romney was inaugurated , but the excitement and hope around Patrick is palpable. I wasn't happy that Romney was elected, but I wasn't particular moved by O'Brien either. So, maybe it was like this four years ago, and I wasn't paying attention.
- More on Mitt: I didn't really start actively disliking Romney until about 2 years ago, when he stopped being governor and started using his office as a campaign platform. He spent more time out-of-state last year than in-state. Come to think of it, we might have been better off if he had just moved to South Carolina last January.
- What do Pink Floyd, Genesis, and C4RT have in common? Excellent stoner music.
- Surge of troops. Ugh. What a horrible and dismaying policy. I'd support a re-invasion, going back in with another 150,000 troops with a post-invasion plan in place, but another 20 or 30 thousand pairs of boots isn't going to do much.
- Can I get a language expert to weigh in on this "Saddam got justice" idiom? Did Hussein really receive justice? He received a punishment, certainly. But justice? Can _anyone_ receive justice? I don't think so.
- Barney Frank on top of the House. All Jewish grandmothers celebrate. Strike that, all grandmothers celebrate. Strike that, all celebrate.
- Smuttynose's Winter Ale is much better than I remember. It's all malt, all the time. Robust and warming, yum.
