Alex on the Left Coast

Had a great talk with Alexander last night. He is having a ball at the beach near Watsonville. He has gone to the Santa Cruz boardwalk and has ridden the largest rollercoaster with Uncle Greg. He has dug a 28in hole trying to get to China. He has become the fast playmate for cousins Sophie and Jeremy. Jeremy apparently has learned the word for attack in French and then he yells it and jumps on Alex. Alex loves it! Today (my) cousin Lee Ann and her two girls are coming down from the Bay Area to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. If you have ever been there you know that this rocks for Alex. MW says he has been extreemly sweet and patient. Thats our boy. Now if he would just show those traits at home....

Miss him and can't wait for he and Greg to be here Sunday night.




The "Sir Robin" Congress

Brave Sir Robin when faced with a foe turned his tail and ran in the Monty Python's Holy Grail.

Congress has earned the Sir Robin title in many ways but this one is surely tops all. Not only has Congress turned tail and run from the Auto Industry Lobby when faced with increasing those SUV mile per gallon ratings.. But have actually made it HARDER now to increase those limits.

This is the Republican Agenda America, and you have yourself and the Supreme Court to thank for electing a House, Senate and Presidency for the same party. Take the money and run. Lower MPG ratings means we go through a irreplaceable natural resource faster. This means eventual windfall profits by the Oil companies who have supported the Republicans for so long.




Mr. Davis and his problems

And speaking of Republicans and energy why has the media not picked up on this one. Now I do realize that Mr. Davis of California is not the most popular person in the state right now for MANY reasons, but to pin the electricity crisis tail on this particular Donkey is ludicrous. It was the Republicans who deregulated the industry. Not the Democrats. Can you imagine a Democrat deregulating anything???

Still Reading: The Center Cannot hold (its a long book).

QOTD: After two years in Washington, I often long for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood.
