The latest sign of the impending, global warming-induced apocalypse was at hand on Saturday, when the temperature reached 70 degrees. We went for a long hike in Prospect Park, and talked about moving to a part of the country that won't be under water in another twenty years.

I watched Meet the Press on the way to work this morning (thanks to podcasts). Lindsay Graham and Joe Biden engaged in a very civilized discourse about Iraq. It was a refreshing change from combatitive Democrats and emasculated Republicans who simply parrot the nonsensical and belligerant rhetoric of the Administration.
