So it seems that this very respectable law prof from another university reads this blog. And what does he send me? A link to this:
To Make Her Crazy Enough to Fit In:
Chick #1: I didn’t get into any of the colleges on the east coast I applied to. I’m so bummed.

This sounds like a fairly major discovery if it pans out, Diabetes breakthrough: Toronto scientists cure disease in mice.
Only a few days after announcing he was running for President, and after a period of universal derision, Sen. Bayh has dropped out.
Good riddance. Can we get rid of Biden next?
Daily Kos peruses Senate arcana in Could Johnson’s absence throw the Senate into chaos? to speculate as to various GOP strategies to prevent Democratic control.

I just want to point out one thing: every single strategy described here, including filibustering the organizing resolution, would work equally well (or poorly) if Sen. Johnson were hale and present. So it’s hard to see how they would be more (or less) justified by his illness, so long as the Senators present were still split 50-49 in favor of the Democrats.

The cocaine — about 37 kilos (more than 81 pounds), wrapped tightly in cellophane — had likely been at sea for a month before washing ashore at North Beach Park, 3501 N. Ocean Dr., said Capt. Tony Rode, a Hollywood police spokesman.
The cellophane package was coated with barnacles, he said.
Forget those metal detectors on the beach…
