If we could only out-live them!
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

"Maybe Logic" preimers this Wednesday in Santa Cruz, CA. So we're heading down South for a few days to bask in the warm CA sun and catch a new flick by our favorite author.
I'm looking forward to some new adventure, these white walls are terribly un-inspiring. Though maybe I should do some crappy pencil sketches and call it my "white period". I think there's a pun in there some where...
Go Read. Now.

By their account, [Chairman Bill Thomas] had no choice but to call the authorities, to restore order when Mr. Stark, 71, threatened Representative Scott McInnis, a 50-year-old Republican, and called him "a wimp" and "a fruitcake." (Stolberg, Times)
Are you outraged yet?
What was that slogan?

House Votes Down Bill to Protect Overtime Pay
July 11-The House voted 213-210 yesterday against a legislative amendment authored by Congressmen David Obey (D-Wis.) and George Miller (D-Calif.) that would have blocked changes proposed by the Bush administration to take away overtime pay rights for millions of American workers.

You know, I really hate it when they patronize empolyees who risk life and limb to keep us healthy and safe and then they take away anything that makes the risk worthwhile. So call, or email your representative, tell them (nicely) to stop short changing the men and women who work their butts off already to make sure you and I have the services we need. Or, thank them for trying to block Bush's proposal.
Alright, at least read the article and think about it- act if you can. Don't do it cuz I'm feeling all righteous and said so.
Oi! It just ticks me off!
Oi...
Lying about sex- so bad we try to impeach a guy. But lie about why we need to send troops to die and that's ok? I feel a rant coming on, but feel that is would be a waste of my energy. Maybe after a nice cup of tea.

A thought for today
The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.

I hope you had a great holiday weekend! Were you able to set your streets or yards on fire in a grand show of your independence? Our neighbors did! They even sparked up a few M80's to make sure enough noise was being made.
Jake found a great bar in the Belmont neighborhood last night called the Horse Brass. They have Abbott Ale on tap!!!! Oh so yummy, creamy Abbott Ale. We also tried the Scotch Egg and that was very good, also. We can't wait go back for some fish n'chips or bangers and mash!
Several of you have written me emails and I just wanted to let you know that I will get back to each and every one of you as soon as possible.
Jacob and I have made it to Portland baring much pain on the way here. Yesterday, after fighting a toothache that flared up Friday, I went in and had the offending Wisdom tooth removed.
I do not feel any smarter.
