Friday Open Thread
Just haven’t had a chance to blog this morning or even to process the day’s stories. Here’s an open thread for all of you, since I assume you are much more on the ball than I am.

Saturday afternoon open thread
I will be blogging this afternoon, but my morning has been taken up with family stuff, including the exciting one of reinstating TiVo in our lives. We had TiVo for many years, but when we got an HD TV, we tried switching to the Comcast DVR, because it was cheaper
Continue readingMonday afternoon open thread
I got an emergency research project, and slipped in a quick workout, so blogging hasn’t happened yet. Here’s an open thread and a little Dusty Springfield for good measure. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XQon5NsYVw[/youtube]
Continue readingFamily, family, family, family — and Open Thread
When the family is around, I get nothing done. I haven’t even read the news today. The earth could have reversed its rotation and I wouldn’t have known. I am never left alone. My presence is essential to all activities, whether it’s sitting, standing, or walking. If I hear my

Intense family time, not to mention the fact that my brain is obsessed with a post (article?) I’m working on regarding San Francisco. I therefore seem to be temporarily without much to say. I do, however, have a joke in honor of Sen. Ben Nelson (one I’ve told before under

You know how, every holiday season, there’s that one weekend that is the busiest weekend of the whole year? That’s my weekend. We attended a show last night in the City, my son has a concert today in the City, we have a business dinner tonight on the Peninsula, tomorrow
Continue readingOpen thread (and a little music)
I’ve been reading the news assiduously today, but just don’t feel as if I have a coherent message or analysis in my own brain that’s worth passing on. I know it’s late in the day for some of you, but consider this an open thread. Meanwhile, a little Christmas music
Continue readingOn the road again
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TD_pSeNelU[/youtube] I’m going to be in travel mode all day today, as we head off to spend Thanksgiving with the in-laws. (And one of the first things for which I give thanks every year is just how much I like my in-laws. Imagine how grim the annual holiday would be
Continue readingWeird day — very weird day — and one that has left me with questions
This has definitely not been a bad day. It’s ranged from irritating, to neutral, to quite good — but none of it has included time at the computer. I’m now heading off for the post-school carpool circuit, after which I treat myself to the pleasure of a neighborhood mom’s night
Continue readingTuesday morning open thread while I get my act together
I find irritating people who comment on ones stress level and then either (a) add to it or (b) do nothing to alleviate it. My morning is taken over by matters domestic, and blogging will resume in the afternoon.
Continue readingFriday morning open thread *UPDATED*
I’ve been on the go since 6 a.m. and am only now sitting down at the computer — where I have 6 minutes until my next “on the go moment.” I’ll be back here as of 10:30 my time and I finally figured out what I want to write about.
Continue readingKSM trial a “nightmare” — and Open Thread
Spoke with a federal prosecutor the other day. She was honorably very circumspect, but she couldn’t stop herself from saying that a KSM trial in New York’s federal court system would be a “nightmare.” I don’t know her political viewpoints, so I can only believe that she’ talking about the
Continue readingOpen thread Sunday *UPDATED*
The race is on to see whether the Motrin kicks in first or my back goes out first. No sitting at the computer for me right now, at least for several hours. I’m alternating between flat on my back and moving around to ease the spasms. I’m betting on the
Continue readingJust Because — a song about hitting rock bottom (and an open thread)
With the House of Representatives having gone insane, it seemed like an appropriate time for a song about hitting rock bottom: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53sCut6XxZE[/youtube] Please feel free to make your comments about the bill here. I probably won’t be blogging tomorrow until later in the day, Pacific time.
Continue readingElection day open thread
I’m running, but there’s no reason you can’t kvell about the victories in Virginia and New Jersey. They are a big deal. Also, Michelle Malkin takes a sanguine view of Hoffman’s narrow defeat in New York’s 23rd District. While I worry that the Republican Party will take it as a
