back from under the snow...

Sorry for the lag in posts, I was in the snowy city of Cleveland for the weekend visiting my sister. There is a phenomenon called "lake effect" that makes the snow three times as worse in Cleveland than everywhere else hit by the storm. Oh joy.

But now I'm back in beautiful Athens, and I have been spending the past two hours surfing blogs and reading about the inauguration. Today on Joshua Micah Marshall's blog, Talking Points Memo, he says that Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas (a Republican) was "so incoherent and off-message that it was hard for me to believe he wasn't a Democrat." I find this highly amusing, even though I am a Democrat and this blogger is a Republican. I guess you have to have a sense of humor to survive, right?
