Quiet days. Have you noticed how the name of "He-Whose-Name-Shall-Not-Be-Mentioned-in-Public" isn't? Ain't it grand? The biggest news story (at least, the one that carries at least some international import) is the passing of the "stimulus" package. With, naturally, the Repubs fighting it tooth and nail. Other than the humour intrinsic to the on-going display of their "slow learner" mentality, this is just a big yawn. Which, trust me, is great.

Meanwhile, around here, I'm inching closer and closer to doing my bit for boosting the economy. A D90 is hovering around me like some pesky horse fly - "Buy me! Buy me!" And my defences are weakening. Crumbling, even.
