It’s been a dismally grey and chilly weekend. Looks like summer is really over. The days are noticably shorter, and I’m putting the sandals away until next Spring.
Grey is how I’m feeling this chilly October night.
Hope you have an easy fast!
Woodward Breaks Ranks
A lot of people have suggested that Bob Woodward is nothing but a White House stooge, but according to the New York Times, his newest book isn’t quite as much a peaen to Bush as the last couple were.
I couldn’t finish “Bush At War” and ignored the next one, but this appears interesting:

The Torture Bill
As you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve been more than a little silent on what’s going on in Washington DC lately. That’s been a deliberate choice.
Basically, I’ve come to the conclusion that this Congress is utterly incapable of doing anything that substantively goes agains what the Bush White House wants. Nothing I can say or do is going to change that. And I’m tired of shouting down an empty well.
Let’s see what happens after the elections. If there is some real change in the makeup of Congress, then we can talk about things like unconstitutional torture bills and all the other travesties that this Congress is pushing down our throats. But for now I’m going to hold my fire and reserve my ire.
2008 isn’t all that far off. If we all burn out now, we won’t have any resources to fall back on for that battle. So consider me a member of the reserves for now.

Del.icio.us Followup
I’m liking the centralized repository of bookmarks aspect of del.icio.us; I can bookmark something from school or work and not have to e-mail it to myself at home. That’s useful. I’ve also tried finding interesting stuff from other people’s tags, which has been reasonably useful.
I haven’t tried uploading my “master” bookmark list, because that would mean having to tag a few hundred links, and that’s a lot of work.
At any rate, if you want to take a look:
