Waiting on the swine flu means not wanting to take things too lightly or too seriously. Be concerned, but don't panic. Even when the health department calls and says that your son has been exposed to a confirmed case. So, yeah, we're just waiting to see what happens.

For better or worse, I get a large dose of my daily news from the BBC online, and they spend much, much more time addressing climate change than does any other news organization that I know of (including Daily Kos). Here are the tops of some stories from the past few weeks. Read them and weep. Then ask yourself, out of all the issues that are addressed on this site, is any one of them more important than this?

I actually got into the phone queue to comment/question, but managed to cut myself off (accidentally flipped my cell phone and it shut) and that was the end of that. But here are the concerns I wanted to air:

I was working at the lobby information desk at the library and three guys came in and asked about the library, itself. They thought it was quite beautiful, which it is, in a Disney-esque sort of faux-classical way. Anyway, we got into discussion about Fort Worth. Turns out they were just about to move down to north Texas from Ohio, where their General Motors plant was closing.

Today my kids had a snow day and we went to the library (a busman's holiday of sorts for me, a librarian on her own day off) and checked out books and movies.

The National Geographic magazine has been so mainstream for so long -- and so often purused only for the pictures -- that I wonder how many Republican householders would read the following and feel their blood run cold? This, from the January, 2009, issue's story on the Endangered Species Act:
