So, I know they are usually so dull that you surf right passed them, but have you been watching the hearings on C-Span about Bush's new plan to send 20,000 more troops into Iraq? I know, usually C-Span puts me right to sleep, but in this case, its very different. For one, I think, it is definitely in everyone's best interest to follow this as much as possible; and secondly, its the most entertaining C-Span footage in quite a while. Instead of rolling my eyes and/or yawning, I find myself yelling at the TV "YEAH!" or "Thats fucking RIGHT!". Its great to finally feel like there are people in Washington who arent complete morons and/or assholes. Everyone, democrats and republicans alike, is pissed about Bush's proposal, and though I dont know that it will have any real affect, its nice to hear it coming from the Senate and not just the hippie protesters.
Also, if you catch a glimpse of her (and as Pancho so astutely pointed out) Condie looks like she's aged exactly 100 years since taking up her position as Secretary of State.
In other news, Pancho and I spent the weekend inside, hiding from the cold. He finished reading his book, The Life and Death of Superman, and I finished the second season of Sex and the City. Mostly we were curled up on the couch in front of the heater with our purring kitties, gradually turning the heater up, then up again (ok that was me) until I opened our electric bill, which promptly made me turn the heater back down. Its kinda tough when you have a weekend that relaxing to go back to work and, you know, stay awake all day.
The end.
