Sorry about the lack of posting lately - I appear to be suffering a relapse, as Steve Bates suggested in a comment section. I got up enough energy to take care of a good deal of job-type stuff yesterday, but that left me too drained to go through my blogroll either during work or back home. Slept through much of Barack Obama's speech Tuesday even though I tried not to, and I'm afraid he'll be associated for some time in my mind with a 100.4-degree fever, but I did rewatch it last evening on Robin's computer (for some reason, I can't get my new RealPlayer download to work with C-Span's videos either at home or at work; I wonder if the pop-up blockers are interfering) and he was... well, he was okay but he was no Al Sharpton. "We never got our mule, so we decided to ride the donkey as far as it would take us..." great stuff. Much better than the frighteningly war-mongering tone of much of last night's speechifying, and the way everyone's exiting the podium intoning "God bless America." So much for inclusion of differing viewpoints like pacifists (you heard about Medea Benjamin being dragged off the floor in handcuffs for unfurling an "End the Occupation" banner, right?) and atheists or agnostics...
