The fall of Blagojevich is so horrible you almost have to enjoy it. A friend said, "At last somebody who makes our governor look good," speaking of Mark Sanford the SC male-Palin wannabe. And it's true that our governor is still at large--but that raises the question of which is worse: a criminally corrupt guy who at least supports the workers' sit-in (but probably they paid him to come, true) or a squeaky-clean (so far) guy who wants to destroy public education?

Can't we get one from column A and one from Column B?

Very happy that the prison chaplain's letting me bring in some people and some fruit for the guys in my meditation group--and it was a fairly painless experience, getting the permission. Also happy that it's warm and damp today--if it's got to be winter, this is the way to do it.

If nothing makes you happy today, you need to watch Bride and Prejudice--a great intro to Bollywood, if you've never see any. It's English language (no dubbing or subtitles), fun, fast, lots of singing and dancing (and sly mention of someone being "clueless"--loved that). An even better redo of Jane Austen's book than the Facebook version.
