I’m loving the warmer temps here in NH, as the sun rises on this February Sunday!
Have you heard of Jennifer Figge? She just completed the amazing feat of swimming from the Cape Verde Islands to Trinidad … at the age of 56. (And I can’t even get myself to exercise for 15 minutes these days!) [...]

You’ll need ‘em after reading the piece that appeared in Salon yesterday – an overview and accounting of the damage wrought by Bush et al in their years in DC. It begins:
After a couple of presidential terms, mismanagement in every area of policy — foreign, domestic, even extraterrestrial — starts to add up. When George [...]
Have you been having trouble this week keeping track of what day it is? I’m not complaining about the Thursday Holidays, mind you – but it’s made for some serious disorientation. Nice and quiet at work, though. I’ve been digging through things I hadn’t gotten to for months, and my in-box is down to just [...]
First off, Chip Saltsmann. The candidate for the chairmanship of the RNC sent around a Holiday CD that reminds us all, yet again, of why the Republican Party is having such a hard time these days. Here’s one of the songs (brought to us via You Tube) …
I am not surprised that the RNC would [...]
Boy – a little queasy, though. Soap-infused coffee is definitely not something I recommend on a rainy Tuesday morning.
Speaking of which – is it me, or do you associate Tuesday’s with rain? Thursday’s, too. In my mind those are the greyer days of the week. And speaking of greyer … are greyer and grayer different [...]
How many base runners have the Phillies stranded now? I guess the glass-half-full perspective would be that they’re creating chances and will start cashing in eventually. (Just hope “eventually” comes within the next couple of games!) According to the NY Times the Phils are 1 for 28 with runners in scoring position — and Ryan [...]
Here’s just a quick piece from The Huffington Post, highlighting a Robin Roberts interview with Elizabeth Edwards about her commitment to work with the Obama team – especially focusing on health care issues. Meanwhile Charlie Black’s disturbing statement quoted in Fortune Magazine has raised lots of eyebrows. I’ve linked to the Fortune article here. Check [...]
This photo of those pesky Florida Jacks devouring millions and millions of their miniature minnow minions brought me up short.
As HollyCornblog commented: “If you zoom in you can see the little minnows trying to get out of the way of all the jacks. Poor little guys.” My first thought … Jacks=Oil Companies, Minnows=Us. Whatever your [...]

Well, I’ve written the title, so now I need to offer the content! First – on the “publicans” front … HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew (two of my favorite publicans … using the term loosely and in its spirits-related sense) are still in Florida. This time last week I’d have been waking to a glorious spring day [...]

HollyCornblog is now in Florida, where she watched the Flyers lose Game 3 of their match-up with the Penguins … and where I am sure she will be sampling Florida hops and learning all sorts of new brewing tricks. It was great fun to witness some bottling when I was visiting this past weekend. I [...]
A few NYC-related items …
Re. Mr. Clemens … Oh boy, I do so hope that Roger gets nailed on this whole steroid HGH thing. He must be sweating it, with Andy Pettitte set to testify.
And it looks like Rudy’s hubris-filled campaign is about to grind to an ignominious halt as he slinks out of Florida and heads [...]
The GREAT news is George W. Bush gave his LAST State of the Union message last night. Here’s Obama’s response.
