My daemon is a sheep
I suppose I should have read the books or even have heard of them, but what the heck, I’ll play along.

Abstinence Only, but not for me
Randall Tobias, the abstinence-only advocate, hires escort service!
Here’s a guy who has been telling people for years that nobody should be having sex outside marriage, but he gets “massages” from the notorious escort service in DC. Ah, can you feel the hypocrisy?
Off to Tralfamadore
Novelist Kurt Vonnegut has died. The world has lost a truly great wit and author.
Palm Linux not ACCESS Linux Platform?
The Palm folks have announced that they will be building machines using their own homebrewed version of Linux with Palm OS 5 compatibility, by the end of the year. Good thing I didn’t buy a T|X this winter, eh? What seems to be missing from all commentary is the question of non-Treo Palm machines. I’m one of those people who have no desire nor need for a cell phone. Since my Clie has a battery that is now only capable of holding a charge for a few minutes, is my only choice for handheld geekery going to be a UMPC? I hope not.
Weather
Every few weeks, the weather does something strange enough to make me really wonder about the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Right now, it’s snowing. Thursday, the high was 80. What’s next week, typhoons and firestorms?
Consistency?
Speaker Pelosi went to Syria Tuesday, and that made the Republicans scream that she was overstepping her authority and confusing the Syrian government. So, when Republican Representatives Wolf, Pitts, and Aderholt met with the Syrian president on Sunday, how was that different?
The Democratic-controlled Congress is talking quite loudly about finding ways to defund the war in Iraq, with the caveat that they will never allow the soldiers to be less defended than they are now. This, predictably, means they are Defeatocrats and are giving up, micromanaging the war, and otherwise overstepping their reasonable place in the government. In 1993, when the Republican-controlled Congress voted to defund the war in Somalia, with the caveat that the soldiers would be well-defended during their redeployment, how was that different?
Is it really so much to expect some sort of consistency from people in public office? Do they really think that nobody will notice? Do they forget about videotape? Astounding.
WWJD?
It’s apparently a very good week for twisted videos from YouTube.
Spring!
Hey, 
bloojanuary! It was over 85 degrees today. 
Alanis’ humps?
And I thought the Ricky Skaggs version of “Super Freak” was unusual…
Speechless
I have no words.
