Here's one way to do it: grab people who waste power and shake some sense into them. Sorry about the down time – my husband David wasn't around today and so I had to wait for him to walk me through the difficult and dangerous procedure by phone to get the blogs back up. Here's what he had me do: Walk downstairs and identify which of several "tower" computers is the one where the blogs and David's computer archives reside (hint for next time – it's the one in the middle). Cycle power. Walk upstairs and see if blogs and…

Annals of Law: Poll Position: The New Yorker So much tasty goodness in this old article from the New Yorker in 2004, in the evil days when Ashcroft stalked the land. There’s a reference to the Attorney General’s Honors Program, which is back in the news these days due to the big scandal at DOJ over (tags: Ashcroft DOJ AttorneyGeneral Honors) Visit by Anglican Bishop Draws Episcopal Anger – New York Times Remember: the dissidents who’re forming this breakaway from the Episcopal Church are a tiny minority of the total number of Episcopalians.

The Lead "Illiberal winds are blowing pernicious policy and polity changes our way," the Rev. Canon Marilyn McCord Adams, Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University says. "…The Communiqué from the Tanzanian Primates’ meeting brought the intentions of those who dictated its content more fully out of the closet."

Must read this more carefully tomorrow. And I like that term "illiberal." It's time we defined the opposition in terms of what they…

Rebuilt Iraq Projects Found Crumbling – New York Times In a troubling sign for the American-financed rebuilding program in Iraq, inspectors for a federal oversight agency have found that in a sampling of eight projects that the United States had declared successes, seven were no longer operating as designed because of plumbing and electrical failures, lack of proper maintenance, apparent looting and expensive equipment that lay idle.

Vacuum Cat – Yahoo! Video Actually, with a title like that in mind, it makes the video a tad risque when the cat's owner does the neat trick with the tail. Washington insiders have resigned for less.

Ah, nuts. I finally counted up how long I’ve been dealing with this damn irritating persistent cough and found that it’s been eleven weeks. That’s it; no more neglecting my own health. I got in to see the doctor again yesterday, complaining that since my previous visit, I’m still coughing and it had worsened again in spite of taking prescription meds for a couple of weeks. Thursday night was the worst, and I didn’tsleep at all – sat up coughing my head off until 330am, then dragged myself upstairs and disturbed David and Riley with my hacking, hacking, hacking cough…
