Personal Note
One of my mostest favorite people was interviewed by the NYT last week and then again by a weblog... Go check it out... The 11th question should have been "Why didn't you push harder to get Santorum into this year's lexicon?". C'est la guerre.
Dumb QOTD
Does anyone seriously doubt that Cheney is the most qualified person, in either party, to be our next president? Any number of early Republican hopefuls -- Bill Frist, Tom Allen, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney -- would look good riding the bus with Cheney in a few years. The Cheney for President bus, that is.I hope President Bush asks Vice President Cheney to succeed him. For four more years.
Nothing personal! It's a metaphor I've used for some time now, made all the more vivid by the recent CareerBuilder.com ad campaign.

Personally I look forward to the day when dictionaries have adjacent photos of each sense of the word. :)
