- At last, Indians ripped for electoral shenanigans - but does the story stand up?Robert Don't Plame Me Novak has been and gone and done it: according to the Rapid City, SD Journal (January 9), on CNN's Crossfire on Tuesday [1]In 2002, [Republican candidate John] Thune would have been elected to the state's other Senate seat, but the election was stolen by stuffing ballot boxes on Indian reservations. Now, Tom Daschle may have to pay for that theft.Now, there's what might be thought to be a smoke-screen of the expected sort of whining from the Indians and their friends, and a Nothing to do with me, guv from the Thune camp, such as to suggest that Novak might be right on the facts. |

- Follies over at State still have their momentsI moseyed over to the State site to look for any word of a USG on the issue of Bolivian requests for sovereign sea access (there needs to be a snappy acronym in the (thoroughly implausible) event that this thing ever really gets going).(There is wishful thinking in the Bolivian press [1] that, when Bush meets Carlos Mesa after the Cumbre Extraordinaria de las Amricas in Monterrey next week, Bush will in some way come to the aid of the party.)Nothing in the briefings so far this year. But worthy of note from the January 5 session is this interchange with Richard Boucher's alternate, Adam Ereli:QUESTION: |

- When the iPod first came out we got one at work to test for compatibility with Norton Utilities.

- TiVo for the... Being compared to TiVo is just about the best praise you can ask for in the technology space right now.

Whether they succeed commercially or not, they've changed the world. That's not too shabby. |

- I put away some laundry. Shocking. That, of course, was so I could find things to wear to get dressed with. Perhaps my new "Thou shalt put away laundry" resolution should be to pick the clothing you need to wear from the pile of clean laundry, and to put away all the things you find in your quest for a complete outfit that aren't the bits you were looking for. I had to hang up about six shirts before I could find underpants, and then I put assloads of underpants away before locating a bra and pants. |
