I've taken to think of it as a gift, particularly useful in crowds or on subways. I have a knack for repelling people away - no, not with my ugly mug, but with a distinctly nasty glare. Many have told me it's scary to see it in action, and there was once a time when I tried to control it, for use at will, though I can't say I've been sucessful; every now and then, it slips out when I'm not paying attention.

Just a friendly reminder to all you NJ residents out there: today is the last day to register and still be eligible to vote in three weeks. Of particular note, the article today which shows the dispartity in the ease of registration from county to county. Find details for your location either here or in your local blue pages. Read More

Anybody else in the NYC area catch the report last night on CBS-2 purporting to be a 'behind the scenes' expose of 'dirty tricks' and the 'anatomy of a smear' by one Senate candidate? I was intrigued, and more so when I found out it involved the NJ race. Read More

With well over half a million words in the English language catalogued, and uncounted others besides if one included technical jargon, slang and the bits of lingua franca we all know and love, why do I always come across the same few? Why do people permit their capacity for descriptive prose to be so limited? How does it follow that the mere presence of a now-popular term can immediately turn me against reading a blog any further? Truly, it stems not from intellectual snobbery - it is overwhelming fatigue. I need something new to read.

I've only just stumbled across this little tidbit at the Huffington post. Seems that, not since Nixon, has there been a more audacious attempt to buy off the lead investigator. Despite protests about not wanting to comment about the ongoing Abramhoff investigation, this administration has no problems with outright interference. Two short bits sum it up;

President George W. Bush has not made many moves more unethical than offering Noel L. Hillman, the Abramoff prosecutor, a federal judgeship. Hillman has apparently been talking with Bush's representatives since last year, and on last Thursday, he publicly announced he was accepting the appointment.

The Democrats should insist on the appointment of a special prosecutor to fill Mr. Hillman's position. Attorney General Gonzales should not be permitted to designate Hillman's successor.

Incredible!
