Practical Theory

Just a great website for a little perspective….

You know… while I suppose I would like to expect better from politicians, I know that they all release their worst news on Fridays so that the news media doesn’t report on it… but I really would like to think that the news media would catch on.

Paul Krugman’s latest editorial details how Bush and Co. let off the companies that artificially drove energy prices in California sky-high with not even a slap on the wrist. And of course, the commission released their findings on, you guessed it, a Friday.

You know, again, at the risk of sounding naive, it boggles my mind just how cravenly anti-democratic this administration is.

… for lack of a better word, stinks.

I can never sleep before big days, which probably isn’t a good thing. The whole "Well-Rested Before Big Days" thing is a concept that I’d love to get my head around. Rather than continuing to wake Kat up by tossing and turning, I thought I’d come out here and try to write some. So far, what keeps going through my head is.. "Tired… want to sleep… can’t sleep…" ad nauseum. Not exactly the stuff for a rivetting blog. (Not that this is either.)

Mostly, I’m nervous about everyone reporting back tomorrow. I hope when I go into school tomorrow, the basement will be ready. The custodians were there all weekend, the furniture is getting delivered at 7:00 am tomorrow morning, and with luck, we’re far enough along that we can all imagine being ready to go by next Monday.
