This past week brought us both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address. It is an ironic juxtaposition of events -- One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication; the other involves a groundhog.

"Today's political landscape is littered with politicians and reporters addicted to treating polling results as if Moses just brought them down from the mountaintop. Since we can't expect these polling junkies to kick the habit on their own, we've decided to stage an intervention. And it's as easy as hanging up your phone. If enough of us refuse to answer pollsters' questions, their data will become so unreliable ev... read more

Washington Post
Sunday, January 6, 2008; B01

As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.

I like to check in on this dancer from time to time to see which way my mind is twisted. (If you click on the image and enlarge the picture, the dancer starts moving.)
