I went to Maine this weekend and hey look at the pictures.

Republicans Have Always Stood for Toxic Waste and a Sicker Electorate
Was it the rights of individual states to govern themselves you defended? Was it leaving no child behind? Was it clean air and healthy forests?
Here’s what the latest health care bill would like to destroy.
Up too late
Check out this ad, because it’s hilarious.
This picture of a blood orange is now my desktop background.
It has been said
Greek poets once said that the Fox knows many things but the hedgehog knows one big thing.
Words I Like
Titicaca, petcock, firkin, dentigerous.
Also my Immigration Top Ten Sources site is now live. Not all ten feeds are showing up yet, for various reasons. But there are ten sites and I think my intro is pretty well-written. I’m also proud of the intro I’m doing for horse-racing, which will be up later this week.
How to make monetary policy interesting
Make references to Hustle and Flow. So when Brad Setzer wants to point out that South Korea is having trouble maintaining an independent monetary policy in the face of international pressure to prop up the dollar, he says “It is hard out there for a won.”

The Yankees Are a Perfectly Reasonable Opponent
Watching the Sox/Yankees game tonight, it seems that people are furious at Johnny Damon because he now plays for the Yankees.
I’m a Sox fan myself, but this is stupid. He’s a professional ballplayer, not your ex-husband. He doesn’t owe you anything.

Some zombies had a social event today and before that several of them dropped by my house.
I took some pictures. There were even anti-zombie protesters, who for some reason were dressed as pirates.
I didn’t see anybody dressed as a ninja, perhaps because of the recent ATF crackdown on ninjas. Or perhaps because ninjas are never seen.
For If We Don’t Find the Next Whiskey Bar…

… you can also argue that America’s ability to dump $800+ billion into a hole in the desert without suffering a hasty financial and economic collapse… shows how enormously strong, and prosperous, the empire really is.
Bush Family Corruption Hurts Red States Too
Bush family corruption is costing a poor Virginia county millions. And everyone is in on it: from the county supervisor to the governor to Dubya’s younger brother.
Whose semen do I have to spill on a dress to get an impeachment in this place?
