lagilmanA quick braindump:
Oh Leverage, how you do rock my world. You are smart and pretty and funny, and don't mind too much the fancifulness of your premise because you are smart and pretty and funny. And Parker is such a sweet psychotic. Thank you for promising to come back this summer. That makes me very happy.
It also made me happy to discover that what the GOP disdainfully refers to as a "nanny state," the president apparently defines as "cleaning up the mess Baby made." I'm not much for speeches from any president (it's all propaganda, even when it's YOUR propaganda) but flinching from hearing hard truths and uncomfortable decisions is so much to be preferred to flinching from hearing Teh Stooopid.
And some very interesting comments from Trained Political Pundits in the aftermath, about how Obama's attempted bi-partismanship isn't aimed at the GOP, who believe they cannot reach back or lose whatever they think they're holding onto, but the independent voters. Obama reached out and was rebuffed, purely for the sin of Not Being GOP. That's going to hurt someone, PR-wise, and so far, it's not Obama.
Took the day off from Pack of Lies yesterday, and worked on a couple of new projects, and some promotional stuff for on-going books, as well as dealing with the long-distance chaos of trying to migrate the web site to its new home. We seem to be having Technical Difficulties. :-( But soon it will be done, and I will be able to muck about with the updates on a much more regular basis, and won't you be sorry then?
(that might also spell the end of the Cosa Nostradamus On-Line, as the content is folded into the main site. We'll see.)
I also managed to get some wonderful, if quick, footage of Pandora, blissed on catnip, almost falling off the desk. but if I post it, you will all see the terribly disorganized state of my office, and I'm not sure I can stand the shame...
Oh, wotthehell.
